Cable Your Modem Router to a Router or Gateway
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
You can either run the C3700 in modem only mode or leave it in router mode. If you leave it in router mode just make sure the ssid is on a different channel/ the orbi is in access point mode (prevent a double nat), and the ssid is a different name than the primary.
(if it was me, I'd just use the c3700 in modem only mode).
I will say, the modem for the c3700 is a pretty base model docsis 3.0 device and isn't going to do much for speeds. If your speeds are greater than 100mbps, I'd be looking at upgrading it.
I really appreciate for your brief response. Sorry Im not into tech, so I Have a follow up question for you
How do I set up my c3700 for a router or a modem only?
What we have is a 200 -300 mbps. If I connect my net gear orbi. will it give us those speed for wifi, or do I need to really change the modem, if so, what modem could you recommend.

You will never get wifi at that speed on many wifi clients, regardless of the modem you use. Wifi clients that connect at 2.4 GHz can't go that fast. Even some 5 GHz devices will have a hard time getting those speeds.
The speed you get is down to the wifi client as much as the source.
