DHCPv6: On
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation: On
Router Advertisement MTU: 1500
ATT Gateway -> Firewall -> IP Passthrough
Allocation Mode: Passthrough

The gateway is in passthrough mode, so the Orbi holds the WAN address directly.
WAN and LAN using the same IPv6 /64 could the problem. The Orbi should receive a delegated IPv6 prefix for the LAN through DHCPv6-PD. You might check Orbi’s WAN/LAN IPv6 details and confirm that clients are getting a global IPv6 address plus a default gateway and DNS.
Try putting the RBR in AP mode and then check for IPv6 thru the system...
Maybe due to your gateway already being a router.
Try disabling IPv6 on the ATT router and leave IPv6 enabled on the RBR. Try using DHCP for IPv6.
Ask the ISP what mode you should use on the RBR.Try enabling IPv6 on the ATT router then change the RBR to AP mode.
