It's possible. It's behaving like the FIOS router is blocking the Orbi and refusing to give it an IP address. You should be able to create a static DHCP mapping on the FIOS which maps a specific IP to the Orbi Router based on its MAC address.
If that still doesn't work, you probably should just reset the Orbi and start over.

Success!
I set the Orbi router MAC to a static IP (192.168.1.251) in the FIOS router as you suggested and after rebooting the router I can login with both the mobile apps and web browser.
Thanks for all your help ST_SHAW!
