Congratulations on a well-documented and thorough post.

You have made many hardware configuration and connection changes. After you made the changes, did you power down your entire network and restart it in sequence? By power down, I mean pull the power cord on each device. Restarting in sequence would be to power up the ONT and give it ample time to connect and stabilize.

Communication protocols between devices are established when they are first powered up and connected. After connection changes if you do not restart the devices, some of the protocols from the previously connected device can still be in place and not work appropriately.

That is also one reason why it can help to reset a router when you change the Internet service.
If nothing else, go into the router's Internet settings and take it through the setup wizard.
