Thanks for the input.  Currently, the Orbi is the router and the FIOS gateway is in bridge mode and I'm enjoying the improved Internet performance over the Eero V2 setup. Since I still have my FIOS One set-top boxes, I will require the FIOS gateway device moving forward.  Any idea when Netgear's Armor services will be ported to the RBR850 platform?

Probably what you need to do is Option 7 under the link I sent you.  The detailed instructions are here:

and some other useful information is here:

When you are done making these changes the Verizon Gateway will be in bridged mode and you'll set its static IP address to 192.168.1.2 so you can log into its management interface at that IP address.   

 

I ran in that configuration for a month or two and after the initial reconfiguration from router to bridge I found that I seldom needed to access the router because you have it configured as an ethernet to MoCA bridge -- you aren't really using much of its functionality in that mode.
