Accessing AT&T network from Orbi network in same house

I have an ORBI network and some of my devices are connected to it. For several reasons, I have kept other devices connected to my AT&T network. This includes a Seagate drive used as a Plex server, and as a storage drive for documents. I need to be able to connect to the documents drive from a computer connected to the Orbi network. How do I set up the routing for this and on which device, ORBI or AT&T router/modem?

Also, for some reason when I try to sign in to the ORBI router, it wants me to reset the password everytime and I never reach the main menu...what's going on there? I have the right credentials, and tried it via orbilogin.com and IP address 10.0.0.1/admin.  I am using Chrome...is that the issue?

Thanks!

    Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AC products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

    Please include brand and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too.
