MSWENSON Just to confirm, has your Verizon LTE router/modem been updated to the latest firmware - v204953? If not, then I'd suggest trying to update it as prior to this latest update, the modem/router would not work at all with the Orbi (at least not in a stable manner which seems to be what you are experiencing).
If it is, then I don't know for sure what else to say other than reseting both the Verizon and Netgear devices back to their factory settings and starting over. That seems to have helped me finally be able to step into the correct settings on both devices.
To those suggesting takling to Verzion support about this, they aren't any help. Me and MANY others have been asking them for help with this and they push us back to Netgear or Google (whomever is the manufacturer of the WiFi routers we are using) who then push us back to Verizon. Verizon has told us there is NO setting to put the router into Brige mode which is what needs to happen, but through turning on the DMZ and turning off the ALG settings, I seem to have gotten something that works like Bridge mode with the Orbi in Router mode. I didn't want it in AP mode as it kept me from using other settings I needed, and AP didn't seem stable with the verizon device either.

I am not computer literate, but if there is a work around to get the home Verizon LTE working could somebody walk me through it, step by step.
