Netgear C7100V with Netgear orbi Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi

Installed a Netgear C7100V to replace my rented CableModem from Comcast. The C7100V is installed and working correctly. I have a large house. Can I use an Orbi Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi RBK53S-100NAS to extend my wifi to the remote areas of my property?

Orbi is it's own Wireless system It does not extend wifi from a different source. You can disable the Wifi on the modem and use the Orbi in AP mode and Orib will be the main wifi for your home.

That's what I want to do but some of these threads say that you cannot disable the Wi-fi on the C7100V

Is there any disabling of WiFi radios under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings on the Modems web page?
