Do you mean the Orbi CBK40 with built in modem and wifi router? 

 

The ORBI RBK series is a wifi router only product. Doesn't have a built in modem. 

 

I recommend you first contact your ISP to see what they officially support in regards to modems being on there network. Then go from there.

What is the model # of the "old" orbi? 

RBR##? 

 

Most RBS will connect to current versions of RBRs.

You don't want two routers on the same network line. This causes problems. One such as double NAT.
