Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode.

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, LAN to LAN and configure AP mode on the Orbi router.

Is this modem a rental from the ISP or something you own? Be aware that CC may make changes to there modem if it's a rental so if something happens and the modem is changed, just keep this in mind. :smileyfrustrated:
