[AT&T Fiber] Any way to bypass att modem using ASUS GT-AC5300?
Was curious if anyone else was using this specific router with att 1000 plan. If so, the options in the advanced settings have all sorts of options that look like could be use to "simplify" bypassing the modem.
Don't really wanna shell out $135 for an USG. But I will if I have to if I can't get around their modem.
Or if anyone else that uses this router, what were your go to settings? I tried putting the router in AP mode and it significantly improved my wifi speeds and kept them consistent.

[AT&T Fiber] ONT, Gateway and Router connnected to switch.
So I was just playing around with the dumb switch bypass and noticed the connection works great with all three devices wired to the switch. This would eliminate the need to reauthorize in the event of outage. The router (R7800) gets the public ip even with the gateway on the same switch. Any cons to this setup ? I do realize the gateway and the router do have the same MAC address but I am seeing no issues with this. The connection is stable and get full speeds 300/300.
Cutting the power to all devices and then powering back up is seamless.

[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 coming to Milwaukee,WI?
Hey all, just wondering if anyone here has any clue when we can expect At&t Fiber to be rolled out to residences in Milwaukee. Has anyone heard anything? Milwaukee was announced Dec 7 2015, and I don't know of anyone outside of some apartments or condos that can get it.
Last year I saw a bunch of orange conduit being buried, but really haven't seen much lately. Now that Spectrum is offering 300mbit in southeastern Wisconsin, I would think ATT is dead if they don't roll out fiber. Here's the announcement article:

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.

My Experience with AT&T TV
As of yesterday I have subscribed to the new AT&T TV service. Here is my take on how things look so far.
My setup:
- Charter Spectrum 200/10
- AT&T VDSL2 18/2
- Dual WAN router
- VLAN 1 is uplinked to the dual WAN router and has failover internet access
- VLAN 99 is uplinked to the BGW210 and only has access to the AT&T gateway and services
- 1x uverse DVR and 2x uverse STBs hardwired to VLAN 99
- 3x C71KW-200 AT&T TV STBs hardwired to VLAN 99
As you can see I ran the UVerse IPTV service over its own VLAN. For now I have decided to plug the new AT&T TV STBs into the same VLAN so that they only go over my AT&T service. These are hardwired connections. The setup was easy. Plug everything in and turn it on. The first thing you'll do is pair the remote which is basically an idiot proof process. The STB will download updates and reboot. The process takes several minutes so be patient. I also noticed that the STB is very laggy after this first reboot and the live streams may cut in and out a few times. I suspect there is some initialization processes that may be invoked upon first time use.
My initial impression is positive. The STBs respond reasonably well to the remote commands. Navigation through the menus and guide are acceptably quick and snappy though it could be better in some areas. It's still a much better experience than the UVerse STBs so that's a win. Changing channels might be a hair slower than UVerse, but still acceptable. The guide does take a couple of seconds to fully populate especially the first time you pull it up and is probably a bit slower in this area compared to UVerse, but it wasn't a terrible experience. I'd much rather have the remote be snappy and responsive and tolerate the 1-2 second delay on the guide than deal with the annoyances of the UVerse experience.
Pros:
- For the most part the remote is snappy and responsive.
- Changing channels is acceptably quick.
- The voice commands work really well and I truly mean REALLY well.
- Netflix, YouTube, etc. are included by default.
- Except for the first 15 minutes after the initial setup when the STBs are laggy the streams seem to be pretty solid and reliable.
- The Android app on my phone works pretty well.
- My Logitech Harmony remote works well with the C71KW STB.
- Overall the OEM remote is pretty good.
- The OEM remote automatically learns how to operate the TV (probably figured it out via the HDMI link?).
- The C71KW has a small footprint.
Cons:
- The boot time is 100 seconds.
- It's pricey especially after the 12 month promotion.
- DVR recordings expire in 90 days (or 30 days according to some literature).
- No Amazon Prime app yet.
- The navigation arrow buttons on the OEM remote are blended together too much which makes it harder to "feel" which button you are pressing without looking.
Observations:
- Multicasting is not used for the live streams. If two STBs watch the same live stream it will double the internet bandwidth used.
- Multicast packets (like from the old UVerse IPTV) may have been aggravating one of my new AT&T TV STBs. There was some weirdness like failed channel changes and the like that was occurring. I enabled IGMP snooping on that particular endpoint switch and haven't had a problem since. Note...I am NOT saying that you need an IGMP snooping switch to run AT&T TV. I had an atypical situation where I was running BOTH the old UVerse and AT&T TV at the same time on the same switch and without IGMP snooping the AT&T TV STB was being flooded with multicast packets it didn't ask for.
Questions:
- What happens when I link more than one Google account? Will watch history, favorites, etc. be tied to the user or the STB as a whole?
- Is the experience different when I run things over my Charter Spectrum connection?
- Is the experience different when using different devices like my XBOX One?
I'm sure I'll have more pros/cons, observations, questions later as I learn more. And, of course, if anyone has a question please post and I'll do my best to answer it.

[AT&T Fiber] Pace 5268 AC admin interface wide open from IPv6 WAN
Just found this out today, but apparently the Pace 5268AC exposes it's internal management interface on the router's IPv6 address and AFAIK I couldn't find a way to turn it off (tried firewall rules, etc, no effect).
It is only accessible through the gateway's IPv6 address, the IPv4 WAN address access is blocked.
This just shows another reason why AT&T should stop forcing users to use their broken and insecure gateway, because they are clearly not competent enough to engineer it properly.
Here, I accessed the 5268's web interface from a machine running in DigitalOcean which clearly should NOT have happened, but it was wide-open.

Dual WAN on Pace 5268AC?
I have internet service with Spectrum and TV/Internet with U-Verse. Spectrum is considerably faster and I’d like to use it as my only source of internet. I’d keep the TV service with U-Verse.
When I plug my Spectrum modem into the red Ethernet port the modem freaks out and refuses connections, the STBs lose service, and it’s just not usable. The manual says it’s possible to use “multi-home networking” which sounds an awful lot like dual WAN.
Is there a way to have the gateway point internet traffic toward the Spectrum connection and keep the TV going over the u-Verse line?
I have a router set up to offer WiFi and DHCP blocked on one of its ports that connects to a switch which then connects to the U-Verse gateway.
I can create static network through the STB’s Ethernet port and use an access point in distant areas of my house over the MoCA network. This is the use case scenario. I want internet and TV running side by side without running new lines so this means leveraging the MoCA network.
I’ve included a rough sketch of the network. WiFi drops on the Netgear and the U-Verse gateway won’t let me use the red Ethernet for a secondary connection which would be awesome. I’d just plug in a patch cable from the Netgear on a non blocked port to the Red Ethernet port of the gateway and have all the devices use it’s connection.
As an alternative I am considering to configure the Netgear router with a Class A LAN network and keep Spectrum connected to WAN. The gateway will have a Class B on the LAN and if possible configure the Ethernet port to a static address pointing to the Netgear. I’d then set the Linksys router up a Class C network and point the WAN to the Netgear router. Double NATting is not a concern because the network isn’t that large and total Number of devices is limited.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to pass Spectrum internet along the current MoCA network alongside AT&T? The two coax networks are NOT connected. Spectrum dropped a new aerial to the house from the pole. The only connection is the switch between the gateway and the Netgear router which has DHCP blocked on that port.

[Speed Problem] up,down 100Kbps ssh,vpn when Speed Test shows 40/20Mbps
AT&T Internet 75 (U-Verse) in SF Bay area (Home) to work about 7 hops away, all within AT&T
While DSLreports shows bandwidth at my house as 45Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up, when I try to transfer many (say, 200) megabytes of data in a file (up or down), the transfer program gives up after 1 to 5MB transferred. For the first second, it shows full bandwidth being used, but then quickly drops off and often shows a status of "stalled" and transfer rates of maybe 100Kbps and less (yes, I know the difference between Bps and bps). (It doesn't matter if my network traffic is encapsulated by a IKEv2 VPN.)
These transfers are usually using ssh to/from work (I'm a multi-decade sysadmin & network admin), which is 27ms ping from home (20ms from my router to AT&T!). That's not slow enough for TCP windowing to be a big problem.
I don't try to transfer big files often (every few months), but I've experienced this for more than a year, since I moved to this AT&T service 1.5 years ago. I don't recall any trouble with this on Xfinity, and certainly have no trouble within work.
The only explanation I can think of is that AT&T is using QoS to limit/block bandwidth to ssh & vpn, relative to whatever is tested with the DSLreports Speed Test (https?). It sorta makes sense as people may usually think of ssh and vpn as used interactively (ie, low, bursty, two-way bandwidth).
Do others see (or not see) this problem, and can anyone confirm or deny AT&T is doing this QOS to cause ssh and vpn traffic to go badly?

[AT&T Fiber] looking for statistics on errors from AT&T fiber circuit
I just had AT&T fiber installed.
With AT&T ADSL and Comcast in the past I was able to look at statistics on the modems to see the overall health of the connection (power levels, SNR, correctable vs. uncorrectable errors).
Is there something similar for AT&T Fiber? I don't see anything in the router. Is this hidden in the ONT? Is there a way to see the fiber signal levels and the error rate/correctables/uncorrectables? Does the fiber not use FEC (forward error correction)?
I've gotten some pretty inconsistent speedtest.net results from 450 Mbps to 980 Mbps when PC is directly connected to the router.

RG210-700/u-verse/pfSense/IPv6 configuration multiple interface
Guys,
I'm running a 100Mb dry copper with a RG210-700 and five static IPs. Behind of it I use a pfSense firewall, that handles all the internet traffic.
That pfSense has four interfaces:
- WAN
- LAN
- OPT1
- OPTs
The WAN has all five static IPs; the LAN a 10.10.10.0/24, OPT1 10.10.88.0/24, and OPT2 10.10.99.0/24.
Up to this point all IPv4.
Configured my WAN to DHCP6 and the LAN to track WAN, all works fine. The WAN get XXXX:XXXX:XXXX1:2d80:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 and the LAN XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:2d8f:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64.
It seems I'm getting 16 /64 subnets.
When creating VMs and connecting their WANs to the RG, I get the same subnet on them, as the baremetal above. The LAN interfaces, got IPv6s from other subnets, but all inside the 2d8 /60 range.
When trying to change the prefix delegation on the WAN side to /60, and track all LAN interfaces to it, the RG won't provide any subnet and all LAN interfaces won't get an IPv6, so tracking can only be used for one LAN interface with the /64 received.
With that said, does anyone know how to statically configure multiple LAN interfaces with IPv6 , considering that the designation received is /64 on the WAN and the first LAN interface is tracking WAN?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

[AT&T Fiber] Move ONT
I need to move my ONT due to a major remodeling project. Everything is easily accessible and the fiber optic cable runs through an unfinished basement. The ONT is mounted on an interior wall on the floor above the basement. It needs to be moved to the far side of my house to a location in the basement within ten feet of where the the fiber optic cable enters the basement. From my perspective I would remove the fiber optic cable from the ONT, slide it through the hole leading to the basement. Remove the ONT from the wall, take it to the new location, mount it, and reconnect the fiber optic cable. I would be left with about thirty feet of excess fiber optic cable. Everything seems too simple, so my question is what are some pitfalls associated with what I have described?
