Orbi AX 6000 and AT&T fiber gateway issue

- So AT&T came out and configured the gateway so that it all works now. They kept the tv feeds going to the gateway, set it to IP pass through and turned off he WiFi. The Orbi had to be set to router mode, not AP mode because of an IP conflict. Everything is running again.
You can use the IP pass thru if you want to use the Orbi in router mode.

If you configure AP mode on the RBR, then IP pass thru isn't needed.

Got the WiFi set up just fine but now my U-verse TV signal locks up after 10 seconds and then loses signal altogether. Has anyone else had this issue and is there an easy solution? I know there’s the IP pass through but I’m uncertain on how to properly set it up. FYI, I have many Ethernet cables current connected to my gateway. I’d hate to return these new units.
