You are correct that every model of Orbi (except one) requires an interface to the network, either a cable modem or a fiber box.
If the existing router is connected to the network using an ethernet cable, that would indicate that there is a modem or fiber box at another location that is the interface to the network.
What is the internet service company?
What is the brand/model of the existing router?
