Orbi and Norton Core together

I used to have a Norton Core.  It didn't provide the whole home coverage needed.  After a year of struggle, we chose to purchase the RBR50 Orbi router and two satellites.  However, I don't have the function of whole home internet protection as I did with the Core. 

 

Question is,  can I use the core for the whole home internet protection and then connect the orbi system to it to provice the mesh network which works well in the home now.   I need the wifi capability the Orbi provides to connect thermostates, garage door openers etc.  From what I understand (limited) it can't.    Or,  is there another product that provides this whole home internet protection I am looking for AND the wifi range.

Yes, you can continue to use the Core as your main router and use Orbi in AP Mode to provide you with whole home wifi coverage.
