ORBI AX4200 to ISP Fiber optic modem or router

Slightly confused. I understand the 3 options you suggested. I’m confused about your first sentence, “ Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi.”
The ISP supplied 3 pieces of equipment: (1) The fiber optic modem (Alcatel-Lucent 3FE51880AK I-240G-C ); (2) the ISP provided router (ZYXEL XMG3512). I mistakenly called this a modem in the original post. And (3) ZYXEL HLA3000 for the TV service connected to the router.
Are we still talking Double NAT?
I plan to call the ISP tech support to verify the info told to me by the service tech
Anything else I should ask?

Yes if the tech connected the RBR to the ISP provided router (ZYXEL XMG3512), this is double NAT. One of the options mentioned will help with this.
