As others have said, this is a classic case of double NAT.
I chip in only to say that the key missing detail is the modem number of this Verizon Fios Modem/router.
It is usually easier to put this into bridge (modem only) mode than to go into PhD grade network engineering. Then just leave it to the Orbi router to manage the network.
The model number would tell us if this is one of those modem/routers that allows bridge mode. Tis such a common topic that a Google/Bing search will usually have pointers.
