Thanks plemans ! This is really helpful. You're spot on about the VZN routers and bridge mode - its not as easy/straightforward as one would think it is, and according to this post it looks like I missed a few steps. I'm going to try adding the Orbi IP to VZN routerDMZ and if that doesn't work, I'll give AP mode a try. Thanks again and I'll post here once I figure it out.
