Orbi with Fios in AP mode

Following some other threads I have setup my Orbi to operate in AP mode in order to work with my Fios router. I seem to have successfully done this - how do I get connected to the internet? I have the IP Address for the Orbi - where do I put this to get internet access? I really don't know what I'm doing and have simply followed instructions from the Netgear website

    By default, Orbi will automatically retrieve its IP address from the router in AP mode, so it should literally be plug and play - plug the Orbi router's WAN port into a LAN port on the FiOS router and follow the remaining instructions to connect the satellite and configure the device over wifi via web interface.
