Lots of people have mentioned Centurylink fiber.  What happens when you go through the setup and just answer

"Does your internet require a login" - No.

Internet IP address

"Get Dynamically from ISP"

      If the ISP said use DHCP, I would use DHCP.  That is the Orbi default.  What happened when you tried it?
