SOLVED!

OK, hmmm. The problem is there is no way to ignore it because I can't get past the "college/dorm" pop up. If I just close out of the process I end up with no connection. I'm not a hardcore tech guy, but I can usually hold my own. I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the MAC addresses?

You put that it works fine on the google router?
Are you running a google fiber router plus Orbi? What model google fiber box do you have the orbi connected to?
If so you either need the google fiber box in passthrough mode/modem only mode or you'd need the orbi in AP mode.
