It would help to know exactly which equipment Quantum Fiber installed. Is it this:

https://www.quantumfiber.com/support/internet/equipment/axon-c5500xk.html 

 

I would call Quantum Fiber customer support and ask the question directly, "how do I connect the Orbi WiFi system that I already own to your fiber unit?"  I would not bring up "IPOE".  You cannot be the only customer to switch from a previous ISP to fiber and want to keep their existing WiFi equipment rather than lease something from Quantum Fiber.
