Network Address Translation (NAT) is the ability of a router to translate a public IP address to a private IP address and vice versa. It adds security to the network by keeping the private IP addresses hidden from the outside world.

When you hear people in here talk about NAT it's usually in a case of 2 routers in the same network.

It ORBI not in router mode now?

if you did nothing to it, it probably is which is your problem since the AT&T device is probably also in the router mode.

This would be a double NAT (what is NAT? http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. Then use the Orbi router in router mode.   It ORBI not in router mode now?  

Yes the Orbi is in router mode. Need to get the modem either bridged fully with the help if your ISP or try option #2 below. 
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop

orbi firmware:  V2.3.5.30

Modem is from ATT - Uverse

I do not see a mfr. but model number is 5268AC / FXN

 

Not sure if it matters,  but when i open the Orbi App,  dashboard shows the 2 satellites connected and any devices have i have connected.   However,  at the top,  next to INTERNET it says "OFFLINE"  but  i can use the web for general purposes thru orbi   

Hope that helps.

You'll have to keep the ISP Modem as ATT Uverse services require the use of the ISP modem and not a customer bought modem.

One other item, I would ask AT&T if you must use their modem.  If not, I would dump the AT&T modem and buy your own modem only device.
