We have an Arris modem/gateway, and have our Netgear Orbi plugged in directly to it. Everything is connected wirelessly to the Orbi, not the Arris network. Works fine. Better than actually, the Orbi is awesome.

The metrocast tech support, who I had to deal with to activate the modem, said that simply plugging my router into a port would not work. That was my initial set-up. We tried that and the TG2472 would not recognize my router and my laptop synced to my router showed no internet access. I had no issue with just letting the TG2472 squawk. So he went ahead and did the reconfiguration and activation.
