Yes the CM should work just fine.
What Firmware is currently loaded?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

I live in a 1600sq ft, single story house. I have a new Orbi RBR20 router and and Netgear CM400 modem. I have download speeds of 210-220Mbps. We stream everything but Hulu Live freezes or pixels a lot. I am thinking of changing TV service to Sparklight (formally Cable One). My new TV service would be satelite. I don't want to scrap the Orbi since it is lightening fast. We still stream Netflix and Amazon Prime. Will my existing modem continue to work fine with the Orbi? Thanks for your feedback.
