Basically what FURRYe38 wrote about. You've got the att device acting as router, then the orbi in AP mode (per your prior), and then the gryphon acting in router mode. You're running to many routers, running more than one nat, and probably creating some wifi interference. A poor choice for stability and performance.
Here's how I'd lay it out if you truly *need* the gryphon. Not sure why you need it as orbi has parental controls.
Make sure your att gateway is in passthrough or modem only mode. contact att to help you set this up. this will let you run your gryphon with all the parental controls you need. disable the wifi on it and just use the parental controls. Use the orbi in ap mode as its basically only acting as wireless anyway so have the gryphon by the router and the orbi be the wireless. Orbi should handle plenty of devices.
so like this:
att gateway (passthrough)----->gryphon router (disabled wifi)------>orbi router (ap mode)--->orbi satellites

  Thank you very much, Plemans.
  
  1. So with the WiFi disabled on Gryphon, I connect the Gryphon with Ethernet cable to the passthrough ATT modem, correct?
  2. Just to confirm, I then connect the Orbi router (in AP mode) to the Gryphon with Ethernet cable?
  3. Lastly, with the orbi satellites around the house broadcasting WiFi, I will be able to login to Orbi’s SSID and still use Gryphon’s app for parents controls.
  
  Your help is much appreciated.

    That sounds right with the way you've set it up.
    this will allow the att device to act as gateway, gryphone as router/parental controls, and orbi as wifi.
