Hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
FYI, the FIOS modem/router is "cr1000a".
I found a user guide for it here: https://scache.vzw.com/dam/support/pdf/user_guide/cr1000a-verizon-router-user-guide.pdf
That guide has a list of features including:
VPN (VPN pass through only)
But that guide above doesn't have any other info on that feature :(...

You could see if you can get the cr1000a to do the VPN work at your end, and then put the Orbi into AP mode.
Or you could see if anyone has managed to crack the bridge mode move.
cr1000a bridge mode - Google Search
The people who make these things can be reluctant to reveal such details, especially if it is the ISP that provided the hardware.
Do not get confused by the various descriptions of "bridge mode". It is not the same for a modem/router – where it is also known as modem only mode – as it is for a router.
