Thanks for sharing your experience.  You sort of left out how the situation was resolved.

Changed the default DHCP IP range on the Orbi?

Assigned a static IP address to the computer that uses VPN?

What range of IP addresses did the Xfinity router assign?  (192.168.1.x is one of the most common ranges.  There are only three "private" IP address ranges).

 

Would you mind sharing which VPN is being used? (Cisco, OpenVPN, other?)

I am assuming this company is not "large".  (Where I used to work, we had a "Class B" IP space of 65,000 IP addresses.  Smaller companies that get a single public IP address from their ISP are pretty much forced to use a public IP space behind it.)
