Orbi compatibility Arris CM8200

My current ISP is Foxtel and have NBN HFC using Arris CM8200.  The supplied Foxtel Hub has died but it always had insufficient wifi for my house.  I'm looking to buy and Orbi system. Can I just plug the Orbi straight into the CM8200?  Any other hardware or configuration required?

    Yes. I recommend powering OFF the Arris modem and RBR, connect the RBR to the modem. Power ON the modem first, then power ON the RBR.
