TV box needs direct internet access - can I still use netgear orbi in between?

Hi,

 

I have an netgear Orbi router and a TV box. As I only have a single RJ45 internet connection cable (long story), I would like to connect the Orbi to that and the TV box to the orbi. However, the TV box needs direct internet access; cannot be behind the router. At the same time, I would like to avoid an "access point" for all my other devices.

 

Is it possible to configure the Orbi to be an access point only for the TV box and a router for all other devices?

 

Thanks for any advice.
