This is now fixed in 2.1.1.12 (See: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Announcing-availability-of-OrbiOS-2-1/m-p/1447612#M16893). I was able to set the VLAN ID to 201 on the "Internet" vlan and have removed the century link "modem" from the mix.

Same issue here. Really frustrating because I have to use Centurylink's silly "modem" until this is fixed.

My (hopefully) temporary workaround was to put the Zyxel into Transparent Bridge Mode, which adds the VLAN ID 201 to the ethernet frames. I basically followed this article: https://support.metageek.com/hc/en-us/articles/215467728-How-do-I-use-a-different-router-with-my-DSL-service-, just transalated the settings into Orbi settings.

  YES! It works!
  I was able to set my VLAN to 101, AP-mode changed to Router-mode and it works perfectly.
  
  Next thing I have to do is to connect an ethernet cable to the satellite, because the connection i "poor". What a great firmwareupdate! :-)
  
  But the GUI in the VLAN/Bridge settings is pretty non-intuitive. Why do I have to choose between VLAN and Bridge every time I enter the menu?

    FWIW: That doesn't happen for me. I did have to first enable it, choose "by vlan tag group" and then click the top "Apply", but whenever I go to the top page I don't have to make any selections.

  FWIW, I had to set & re-set this setting multiple times, and also disconnect & reconnect from my Orbi router - BUT, with persistence, it did finally work. :)
