What modem are you running from centurylink?

I usually see them install combo devices (modem/router all in one). These tend to leave you with a double nat which can create just the problem that you're running into plus others.

If you're basically using the orbi for wireless coverage, you can switch it to AP mode and that'll fix the double nat problem. (if thats whats going on)

Otherwise you'd need to put the cenurylink device in passthrough or modem only mode.

Yes-- Orbi is handling all the WiFi. Centurylink Wifi has been disabled and simply passing through.

  Are you sure the modem is fully bridged? Just turning OFF the wifi on the modem is not enough. The modem has to be bridged or use its DMZ or IP Pass Through feature for the Orbi RBR in router mode. Or use the modem as your router and set the RBR for AP mode.
