I got it to work... it is pretty straight forward:

 

  1. Put the Verizon 5G Gateway in "IP Passthrough".  Here are the instructions for the ARC-XC155AX:  https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-301824/#:~:text=IP%20passthrough%20allows%20you%20to,enabled%20upon%20disabling%20IP%20passthrough).

  2. Followed the instructions on in the full Orbi user manual on page 22 for "Specify an Internet connection without a login" using all factory defaults on that page.

My prior carrier used a login, so changing that setting on the Orbi to "No" was key.
