Orbi AX4200 with AT&T Fiber setup
The issue I'm having is my Orbi never gets past the blinking 2nd light (download) and I can't complete setup. I previous had Xfinity, I tried setting up passthrough and certain devices could connect, some could not. So I factory reset both the AT&T modem/router and then Orbi but now setup basically halts at that point. I tried putting the AT&T Router into passthrough mode with the Mac Address from the Orbi but still no internet is being delivered to the device. I also turned off the Wi-Fi radios for the AT&T router/modem and I'm just stuck at setup. I know this is a cable Orbi but I've seen other people use this with Fiber so I was hoping for some advice. I've read through multiple posts on here on exactly what to do but am still having an issue. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

what is the actual product number printed on the label (bottom of case)?
(AX4200 is a marketing description made from combining maximum theoretical WiFi speeds, not a product number.)

This makes me think its not a router only device but modem router combo device like the CBK752.
If that's the case, thats not compatible with ATT fibre. It has a modem only mode, a modem/router mode, but not a router only mode that you'd need with att.
