Hi
After many hours with ATT technical support trying to enable the BGW210 5 ghz band and Ethernet ports without success, which stopped working after a reset, they are sending me a 5268AC.
The 5268AC is older than the BGW210, is there a big difference between the two?
I was able to place my asus behind the BGW210 and it worked great for 6 months.
I am going to be able to do the same with the 5268AC?
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank You in advance for any suggestion
Mario

[AT&T Fiber] HE Tunnel Broker
Since I'm forced to use the BGW210, does anyone know how to get a HE tunnel broker to work through this device? It doesn't seem to pass that traffic when I switch my endpoint. Currently in pass-through mode to my SonicWall and my site to site VPNs are working but the tunnel broker does not.

[AT&T Fiber] Slow speeds and high ping from 7pm to 11pm CST for past week
Had service for around a year and half now and have never had speed or ping issues that I have noticed. Starting in the last week or I started noticing ping issues in games and decided to run speed tests and got the following results. When
this issue starts happening I can't watch a single twitch stream without constant buffering. Netflix is just as bad...
Attached is a picture of SpeedTest.net results over the coarse of the day to the same server.
Here is a link to a PingPlotter that shows the ping issues starting at around 7:20pm today. https://ibb.co/yPw3jsX
That is on Fiber 1000 btw. The issue starts at 7-8pm everyday and is always gone by 11pm. Live chat is useless, they just tell you to reset/restart gateway which has zero effect. Looking for some help to get this issue resolved asap.

[AT&T Fiber] Using Asuswrt-Merlin to bypass RG
Hi guys,
I successfully bypass AT&T's RG using rt-ac68u with extracted certs from both NVG510 and NVG589
No pfSense, or netgraph, or ubiquiti devices, or dumb switch needed.
I only tested with rt-ac68u, but the method should work for all Asuswrt-Merlin based wireless routers (Please let me know if it doesn't).
Basically, the AiProtection in Asuswrt auto tags net traffic with VLAN, so we only need to update wpa_supplicant which works with extracted certs.
More detail here https://github.com/bypassrg/att.
Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.

[AT&T Fiber] Help with dumb switch bypass
Hello everyone. I recently acquired 1000/1000 fiber service in my new apartment but I was less than thrilled with the fact that they were forcing their equipment on me. I found instructions to perform the dumb switch bypass and bought the required hardware. I got a small UPS and a DGS-1005G switch and followed the instructions, and while my router does acquire a public IP via DHCP, I am left with no internet access. I am using a TP-Link Archer C7. This router was working fine on my previous connection, which was a barebones docsis 3.0 modem on Spectrum.
I have the MAC of my gateway cloned to my router.
From a completely powered off state, I power on the ONT and allow it to establish a connection (Solid green lights).
I plug the ONT and Pace gateway into my DGS-1005G, power on the Pace, and wait for it to establish a broadband connection (Solid green lights).
From a powered on state, I unplug the Pace gateway and plug in the router to the DGS-1005G.
I web into the router and confirm it has the same public IP the gateway had acquired.
Test internet connectivity, no access.
Am I missing a step or is the TP-Link Archer C7 perhaps not compatible with the bypass trick? I am fairly competent when it comes to computers and networking but this one has me stumped. Any tips or advice would be appreciated...thanks!

[VDSL] Issue with "What ISP are you using now?" on the main page
Maybe this belongs in the Site help or Site Feedback forum, but I figured someone here might know the answer already.
On the main right of the Pinned news I get a little box that says "What ISP are you using now?
(we think the domain is: lightspeed.iplsin.sbcglobal.net)"
When I click the "What ISP are you using now" link, it says "We can't determine your current ISP" you'd think based on that domain it'd be fairly obvious.
The question I have to ask is that is it unable to determine the ISP based on an outdated list that doesn't have my domain in it or is it because there are multiple AT&T services that are listed as separate providers here on the forums(ie. AT&T U-Verse vs. AT&T FTTP) but use the same domain?

[AT&T Fiber] ATT MTU settings
What should the MTU setting be on the BGW210-700 device? Right now my router behind it is set to 1500... I was doing some test and I was getting 1438 should be the MTU pass through setting. Any advise....?

[AT&T Fiber] Some sites and services inaccessible
Had Gb fiber installed right at the beginning of August and all was good for about 3+ weeks. Then a big slowdown for a couple of days (speed recovered) and inability to access a number of random services such as Webex Teams, Tivo (on iPad), or even the speed test directly on the RG. All of these worked fine for over 3 weeks.
Have had a hell of a time getting any kind of resolution from AT&T. Technicians have come by, replaced ONT, replaced RG, reset devices, moved to a different port. Nothing seems to work. This is with or without IP passthrough, with or without my FW behind the device (as I said the RG itself seems to have difficulty reach the Network Test Server). Everything seems to work fine if I use a full-tunnel VPN from ANY device connected directly to the RG or to my FW behind the RG (i.e. if I mask my AT&T IP and tunnel all through 443, it is fine). Also, as soon as I switch to the Comcast circuit, which I still have and would like to terminate, everything works fine. One thing that hasn't changed with all the device swaps, etc., is the "dynamic" IP address assigned to me (which I have asked unsuccessfully to have changed).
When I did a packet capture, I see a lot of TCP resets. Has anyone seen cases where AT&T IP ranges are being blocked for some reason (e.g. if too many endpoints are used in DDoS, etc.)? Anyone else see anything like this? Again, AT&T support refuses to escalate to L2/L3 where this needs to go. They just insist on sending technicians out "who will fix everything for you". Only problem is they don't and they have repeatedly told me they cannot do anything beyond device replacement.
Ultra frustrated.
Thanks for any information.

Apparently These Are The Internals Of The ATT TV Box (Osprey)
Can't remember if these have been posted here or not. The link immediately below leads to internal photos of the ATT TV box (Osprey):
https://fccid.io/NKR-ATTC71KW/Internal-Photos/Internal-Photo-3607464
One thing I like, it looks as though, if we want, we can add better antennas to it.
Also, this shows what appears to be solder pads for a header related to debugging or accessing the internal systems:
[att=1]
The port appears here in a few external photos with the header attached:

I'd like to change my BGW210-700 Modem's IP Address to somethin
As the title says, I would like to change my BGW210-700 modem's IP address from its default (192.168.1.254) to 192.168.0.1 -- and I have found the screen in the modems configuration pages where it looks like I can do it. A few questions:
1) I am wondering if there are any specific steps that I should be taking to make it work properly.
2) If the change takes, then I need to re-access the modem by typing 192.168.0.1 in the URL?
3) If the change does not take, does a factory reset return the IP address to 192.168.1.254?
Background: I just had Fiber 1000 installed. I already have my whole house set up with Unifi equipment, and the USG's LAN IP is 192.168.1.1. I plan on doing an IP Passthrough mode on the new modem after I change its IP address. However, I've been reading that this setup causes significant slowdowns for many people. I am also contemplating doing a complete modem bypass using Taylor Smith's great instructions. (https://medium.com/@mrtcve/at-t-gigabit-fiber-modem-bypass-using-unifi-usg-updated-c628f7f458cf) I also read elsewhere that having the same subnet on the Unifi and Arris systems (even in total bypass) causes some conflicts -- hence my desire to change the Arris IP.
Thanks,
Nick

Unlikely install
So, my mom is attempting to have uverse/dsl installed at her house (5mbps). But I see a problem that will probably cause issue.. The lines running up the hill to her house from the nearest pedestal are the older type and to top it off, the poles are way to distant apart for the newer lines to be dropped.....
My question is.. What are the odds of them burying a line up the road for her so she could obtain service? In theory, they are supposed to come out tomorrow mid day. Is there a process to maybe have them either bury a line or at least let her qualify for fixed wireless if they can't/won't run the new lines to her house? She attempted the fixed wireless route first but they denied her due to qualifying for uverse internet (again, at 5mbps)
Thoughts?

[AT&T Fiber] Dedicated Internet ATT Install
Hello,
I live in a rural area. I've researched every internet option out there, and for what I do, the only option is ATT Dedicated Internet. It's expensive, of course. Their contract is impenetrable.
Long and short of it...for about 600/month all in with no install cost for 50/50 connectivity.
I'm reasonably IT savvy, can manage a basic network/basic VPNs (tend to use Unifi or Edgerouters).
Have been told I can opt out if there is an install charge prior to work and that typically ATT will pay 15K to get it done.
Any gotchas I should be aware of? FWIW...middle of nowhere....no brokenrs that I'm aware of.
thx!

[AT&T Fiber] VLAN Tagging, Double NATS, and the AMPLIFI HD Router
I am sorry for yet another post that is going to result in saying, google “dumb switch”, but if you will let me explain, my situation is sort of interesting.
Yesterday, the installer came and everything went very well from that perspective. My first experience with ATT Fiber was positive!
Since the installer plugged the BGW210 directly into the back of my primary Ubiquiti Amplifi HD, I knew I was going to have a double NAT right off the bat. As soon as he left, I logged into the BGW210 looking for bridge mode like many of you did the first time, to only find IP Passthrough. After researching for a few hours yesterday, many techs and other well-meaning forum goers recommend this method, so I thought I would give it a shot.
As many of you know, this feature is a hack - while my Amplifi does in fact get a public IP address, ATT still has their finger in the pot.
Selected device en0, address 192.168.86.113, port 57827 for outgoing packets
Tracing the path to google.com (216.58.193.174) on TCP port 80 (http), 30 hops max
1 192.168.86.1 2.158 ms 1.606 ms 2.924 ms
2 192.168.1.254 3.204 ms 2.304 ms 2.146 ms
3 162-229-180-1.lightspeed.rlghnc.sbcglobal.net (162.229.180.1) 4.198 ms 3.254 ms 3.592 ms
So yeah, I get a public IP address, but that 192.168.1.254 indicates an unnecessary hop. At this point, I was annoyed and only thinking about performance. However, this mode is much worse than impacting performance - I have MANY devices on the network that constantly claim to lack an internet connection (most of my google hubs, homes). Streaming quality is awful for many services, despite getting around 800MB/s with speed tests.
This obviously led me down the route of considering the “dumb switch bypass” method. I have a few cheapo Linksys 5 port switches laying around and after researching the method, I understand it to be pretty straightforward (as long as you aren’t trying to grab certs or anything)
Power on ONT, wait until it acquires a lock
Plug ethernet into dumb switch and power on dumb switch
Plug ethernet from dumb switch into back of BGW210
Wait until BGW210 gets a lock
At this point, I was able to plug into the back of the BGW210 and browse websites, traceroute, etc without any issue
Power off the BGW210
Clone the BGW210 MAC into my AMPLIFI HD Router on the WAN side
Power up Amplifi and profit
But man, step 7 really got me. Amplifi comes up and says “No IP Address from WAN”
It is my understanding after reading a ton of threads here last night that possible the ONT is using a VLAN tag of 0. My Amplifi HD does support VLAN tagging on WAN side, but 0 is an invalid value.
This gets me to my actual point, and please forgive me, it’s been ages since I have worked at LAYER 2. If I get a slightly smarter managed switch, and explicitly set the VLAN ID’s on each port, does the VLAN tag get stripped out of layer 2 before being forwarded back to my AMPLIFI? If so, then I believe the Amplifi will work. If that doesn’t work, do you folks have any ideas besides get a new router/ap? I just bought these a few months ago and the wife WILL NOT BE HAPPY. I am willing to spend some cash on the front-end of things to achieve a working bypass though.

Help with new BGW210-700
I had the NVG589 for 6 years, upon experiencing some issues it was determined that I needed a new modem. The tech came out today and replaced it with the illustrious BGW210-700 model, and upon doing so my home network no longer works properly. I've attached a crude image of how my network is setup with my Router, I have set the modem itself to 192.168.2.xxx, and I need my router to be 192.168.1.xxx, I factory reset my router once I discovered I was unable to access it, and once I got back to the config I discovered that as soon as I set my Router to 192.168.1.xxx (from the default of 192.168.0.xxx), I can no longer access the internal config page from ANY address, though everything on my end seems to be setup correctly. Can anyone tell me exactly what i'm doing wrong? Trying to remember what I did years ago to get it working isn't going well for me.

ATT TrueBridge Mode for for Ubiquity Security Gateway (USG)
So, I have taken the plunge and replaced my PFSense firewall with a Ubiquity USG. This is an affordable device, around $110 on Amazon, and is the perfect companion to Ubiquiti Unifi wireless access points and its controller if you happen to use any. For the same reason as "rockstar" did with his PFSense thread, I decided to open up a separate topic for those searching for information, without having to go through the "True Bypass" monster thread.
During my research before purchasing, I came across this gem:
https://blog.taylorsmith.xyz/att-uverse-modem-bypass-unifi-usg/
It explains in clear steps what you have to do. The most difficult portion is the trimming of the .json file somewhere halfway. I spent a good 20 minutes on it, and the examples that were given on the site above were of good help.
Remember: when you start following the guide above, you will eventually disconnect from the internet, so make sure you have all the sites open you want open, and have all the files you need before proceeding. Make sure you read every step, don't skip any.
PROS:
Latency decrease. As if the gigapower itself wasn't good enough, a ping to 8.8.8.8 has changed from 3-4ms to a solid 2ms. If you are further away from bigger datacenters, the latency decrease can actually be noticeable.
Speed: Speedtests are the same, really.... 930/930 to 940/940, the maximum you can push through gigabit. No change.
DPI: This is with deep packet inspection enabled on the USG, so you can really keep check to see where your data is going. This is actually a cool feature, it shows you exactly how much hundreds of applications take in data, ranging from Facebook to P2P/Torrent to Netflix to OneDrive to Speedtest.net to Gmail to online games, you name it, and all displayed in a userfriendly and accessible way.
CONS:
No decent IPv6 support yet. Ubiquiti is working on it, and current firmware has "alpha" support for it, but it will be coming soon. If you need IPv6 NOW, don't use this.... if you can wait a few months till Ubiquiti really has their IPv6 ironed out, we may be able to get it to work in a similar fashion. It may actually work now, I just haven't gotten around to really testing it yet.
NEUTRAL:
I have static IP's. I have them mostly "just because", for the geekness of it, to run servers etc.... but the reality is I managed to consolidate all those back to the one DHCP IP for now (which never changes anyways), so I can take my sweet time figuring out how to get them to work. I'm sure its not that hard, just will take some digging.
