Really at a loss? Self-Assigned IP with Ethernet
I'm really at a loss here and need some help. I'm not sure what happened or what I did. Will try and explain the best I can. I have CenturyLink Fiber Internet and was given a CX4000 modem/router....

I plugged in my RBR850 to the patch panel.
Is this what you are trying to fix?
What does this mean?
I went into the CX4000 settings to setup Transparent Bridge mode and then removed it from the equation.
The CX4000 has nothing to do with Netgear. Help with that is best sought from whoever made it.
The RBR850 Orbi router is not one of the Netgear cable modem/routers covered in this area.
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Orbi - NETGEAR Communities
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
