Have you had any success with the Fidium Modem and your Orbi .. I just got Fidium today and should have researched to see if it was compatible with my Orbi (RBR850) i have two of the mesh ones.

This is precisely how I run mine. ONT directly to my RBR850, works solidly. You can lose the Fidium equipment and save some money monthly.
Had this setup.

Or try the ISP router online with the Orbi system in AP mode?

- Yes to Ont and Orbi. It's what caused VPN issues and forced me to bring in ISP equipment.
Have tried adding Orbi to ISP router but cannot sign in to it to put it in AO mode.
