Was the new 960 router connected to the same Ethernet port as the previous Orbi router?
At any point, was the AT&T 5268 Gateway reset/rebooted?

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).
