The included router is not the best and I would much rather use my RAXE 300 router connected to the ONT instead.
Did you reset the RAXE300 after the ISP changed your Internet service?
You need to het it to forget any settings it picked up from the old Internet service.
In order to get this to work I need to set up a VLAN tag to the WAN, the tag needs to be set to 201.
Why? Is that something specified by the ISP to get your Internet to work?

Re: WAN VLAN Tagging for Fiber ONT
My internet service is Brightspeed fiber which was formerly Centurylink Fiber in my area, they require a VLAN tag of 201 in order to connect directly to the ONT, I tried it without the tag and it still does not pull internet. They state that a 3rd party router can be used but it must support VLAN tagging on the WAN which I haven't been able to do. When looking in the provided router settings it has a VLAN tag applied to the WAN which is allowing the provided modem to work with the ONT, I need to be able to do this to the Netgear if at all possible. Thank you all so much for the support!

Does Brightspeed have a user group like this one? Then you could throw that issue at them. That name has not come uyp here before.
I suppose it is too much to ask the ISP for help in setting up routers to work on its network. They are generally technically ignorant and reluctant to help with third party hardware.
One way to get the RAXE300 to work on your network would be to put it into access point mode behind the ISP's router. That disables a lot of features, but at least the WiFi would work. You can also use the router's USB storage in AP mode.

Re: WAN VLAN Tagging for Fiber ONT
I hadn't thought of putting the router in AP mode, I may end up doing this if there is no way to setup WAN vlan tagging for this router.

The isp does not provide any support at all when using third party equipment unfortunately, other than telling me I have to set VLAN tagging to 201 on the WAN.
One good reason for signing up with someone else. The pity is that in many markets competition barely exists.
There's quite a lot of stuff here:

Or does putting the router in AP mode ensure this won't happen?
Yes. AP mode is one way of dealing with double NAT.
Thank you all! I actually just switched from a cable isp to a fiber isp so as far as the internet quality goes I'm much happier. I ended up putting the router in AP mode and turning off the wireless radios on the ISP router.
Does this mean that you have changed your modem since you started this conversation?
If so, what is that modem? And does it have a modem only "bridge mode" option?

The modem hasn't changed since the start of this conversation, the modem is a Centurylink branded C4000XG fiber modem/router.
That's the first time that you have mentioned the make and model number of your modem/router.
You subjects says "Fiber ONT". Your first message mentioned a Calix ONT.
I can't see in this discussion when you switched from that to the C4000XG.
Is this the same thing that was connected to the Calix ONT?
From the details I have found for the C4000XG, it looks more like a cable modem/router.
Axon C4000 Modem User Guide | CenturyLink
In general, the makers of network devices often use the "C" tag, as in CXXXX, to denote a cable modem.
Unfortunately, the "fiber" tag is meaningless. You'd have a job finding any network without optical fibre in it somewhere. It usually stops some way short of the end user. But that doesn't stop ISPs from use the F word for marketing.
If that is your device, then it is a modem/router. That can complicate setting up the network, which is why the "what's the modem?" question is a regular here.
If there is no "bridge mode" you may have to work out how to get the RAXE300 to play nicely. So AP mode is probably the best option.
