My Experience with Orbi Axe11000 (Model RBRE960) and ATT Gateway Pace 5268.
I have a ATT 900+ up/900+ down Fiber Plan with ATT (Model 5268AC). I have a 3 story townhome and getting wifi from the basement of the townhome was just not viable for my family. Long ago we had a ol...

Yes it was using the same Ethernet port as the last Orbi. However i did change it to each other ports on the back, Tried different cords, and flipped cords but nothing changed.
The 5268AC was rebooted multiple times. Factory Reset multiple times. Same with the Orbi. Just doesn't seem like there's a setting I'm missing so far that would help.
I have not tried to unplug the extra connection just because it goes directly to my Fiber connection. I assume it helps with the Authenticating. I was half tempted to plug in the extra plug into the Orbi but decided against it in case something were to happen (Getting Bricked out, etc).

If you have the other older Orbi, something you can try as a quick test, put the other RBR online. Make sure it connects. Then connect the 9 series RBR to the other RBR. I would change the 9 series RBRs IP address to something different if the older RBR uses 192.168.1.1. Try using 192.168.96.1 on the 9 series RBR. Connect it to the LAN port on the older RBR. Check the 9 series web page to see if it connected or got an IP address from the older RBR. If it does, then I would presume there is a problem between the ISP modem and the 9 series RBR.
