I am looking to get the orbi 1200 mesh system to help get WiFi coverage across my house and eliminate slow spots. I noticed it is also a router in the system but I currently have a modem/router in one(netgear Ac1600). Can I still use the orbi system with this? Is there a way to make my AC 1600 just a modem and not also route so that I can use this mesh system.

"AC1600" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label. "C6250"?

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for a topic like "Cable the Modem Router to a Router and Use Bridge Mode".
