Hi
I have successfully bridged my router before, today I tried to update the AX88U to a new Asus-Merlin update router kept restarting, after the 3rd attempt, I reset the router, same issue, one by one the LED lights on, and it starts again. I didn’t change anything on the BGW-210.
Any suggestions
Thank You

[AT&T Fiber] $39.99/49.99 deal & equipment fee hideen in discount?
So other thread got locked instead of just keeping people on topic lol but this is related to it.
I've never had the equipment fee from my legacy gig plan. The new plan for many of us without the fee upgrading didn't show/mention equipment so we assumed it's waived. Mine doesn't show it on a line item or anything funky either being waived but I noticed this.
If you log into your account online and manage your plan it says $20 off for 12 months but when I click the link to show me the discount I see "HSIA_EDSP_$30 off 12 mos".
Despite no equipment fee in the past I wonder if this means my rate goes up $30 after 12 months and not $20 or if it's $30 off for those with equipment so just a display thing and will only go up $20?
Anyone else ever go and look on the site? (again the bill just says $20 off, no equipment mention).

[AT&T Fiber] VPN on router behind BGW210-700
I just switched to AT&T from Comcast. I figured out how to use IP Pass through and my Asus RT-AC68 with Merlin FW is running behind the AT&T router just fine, except my Open VPN that runs on the RT-AC68 is not able to connect. I see the posts about running the dumb switch to get rid of the BGW210 and I plan on trying that but I see the option Cascaded Router. I have not been able to get this to work to see is it will let me use the VPN or not. Does anyone know if this would be an option to get the VPN on my Asus router to work? When I try to use this option it says "Cascaded Router Network Address must be a WAN-side subnet"

USG3 Gateway and AT&T Uverse
Hi
I just saw a video how to bypass the BGW210 with a USG3 gateway and it looks like I have the knowledge to do it, however, the video only talks about the AT&T fiber and it doesn’t mention the TV Service or Landline.
Would USG3 method work with 3 services. Internet, TV and landline?
Thank You

BGW320 with its great WiFi, but DNS and DHCP from other router
I'm a new AT&T customer, with 1gig fiber on BGW320. great up/down speeds of course with wired connection to the device. i understand true bridge mode is not possible, and that's not exactly what I'd want given the great wifi6 (AGNX) radios. i've got a 'complex' home network already with about 30 devices and a lot of static IP addresses, wired access points for difficult locations, and openwrt running my main router (wrt32x) to dole out DHCP, my preferred DNS (opendns), and some minimal management tools. This worked great on cable in true bridge mode, and which works acceptably with my BGW320 in passthrough ( 2 ms addtional delay due to double the double router setup) - but then the AGNX radios are on a diffent network segment, stuck on AT&T DNS, and no communication to the rest of my home LAN.
ideally i'd like to get my router between the fiber ONT and wireless in the integrated ONT in the BGW320 - but dont think this is possible.
reading through recent posts in a number of threads, this is close to what others have sought, but not exacly:
can a separate router be used to control DNS and DHCP for the BW320, and capture the wifi6 radios in this process? i think this will require using the firewall on the BGW320, disabling firewall on my other router - but beyond that, i'm stumped.
explicit direction is appreciated - thank you for this great resource.

Off topic subthread
said by uid://628714 :said by uid://1835003 :Passthrough mode works just fine. Not sure why you wanted to bypass in the first place.
Because not everyone trusts AT&T hardware?
My question was to the OP specifically, not to you or to the world as a rhetorical question.

AT&T account compromise and the risk it has to your network
So saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ATT/comments/ivge5u/i_just_got_this_in_the_mail_what_does_this_mean/
Basically looks like some AT&T accounts got compromised. One user said they use a randomly generated password only used on that account. This would imply the breach was not password compromise specific.
So this brings to light the larger security concern. Since AT&T forces equipment to be used, if you happen to use the WiFi on the device and you get compromised by no fault of your own even, your network is now also at risk. As you may be aware AT&T accounts display your router settings, including wifi name and password and even devices connected to your network. They can also be updated/changed. AT&T chose words very careful on the letter posted saying your SSN and credit card info was not obtained.
Imagine this happens and your address is in close enough proximity to the attacker or sold to others that are along with your wifi and wifi credentials and the lan IP of all your devices. Now imagine said person drives near your home. Boom, on your network. And because your att account had access to modify your router, it's not far to imagine they piggy back on that. One could root your router or use access already gained via AT&T and do further attack/damage to you. Even more so since they can get on your lan and look for weaker IoT devices and infect them with something.
Yet another reason folks need to speak up and complain about not allowing BYOD.
It's one thing to make an app that can manage your equipment from being on the local WiFi. It's another for default and force that into the "cloud" where the above can happen or worse...
Oh and just think, if you use the default wifi creds, well, they are out forever. You either need to customize them now to change it or if you for some reason want to keep using the defaults you now need a new router since they are hard-coded lol. Obviously you should change them always anyway but nice to know att allows one thing to be compromised that allows the compromise of another.

[VDSL] Ordered self installation, but an appointment was made for me
I had U-verse (VDSL) many years ago, then switched to Suddenlink since the AT&T kept jacking the price up. Of course, Suddenlink does the same, so I'm switching back to AT&T. I ordered the 75Mbps service, and it said self installation was available, so I went with that--the "Order summary" email I got says INTERNET: Self installation. However, when I go look at my "Account overview" page on att.com, it says I have an appointment scheduled for Sep 23, 9am - 11am. I wasn't ever asked if I was OK with that date/time, and if I hadn't proactively set up my att.com account again, I would have never known a tech was scheduled.
Anyways, while that date wouldn't have been my first choice, I can make myself available... but a surprise tech visit isn't cool. Wonder why I can't do a self install.

My Wifi inspector results
My last post got locked - I am guessing because it turned into bickering factions about ATT Gateways and talking to your neighbors. Look - I have a wifi signal problem. I have gig service that generally runs above 500 mbs, if not 700 mbs, and 10 feet away from the Gateway, I get 20-40 mbs wireless. I am just trying to improve results from the Gateway, and I live in about 800 sf. Multi-unit building. Someone suggested downloading wifi inspector and posting the results. Here they are. The blackline is my network.

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.

[AT&T Fiber] Bandwidth usage counter stopped working
Hi all,
Just curious if anybody has had this happen before to them.
I got tired of AT&T's junk gateway (5268), and placed my own router behind it in DMZ+ mode. After doing so, my bandwidth counter on the MyATT app appears to have stopped tracking my traffic usage. It has not updated in a day and a half, when normally it updates multiple times a day.
Feature? Bug? Both?

[AT&T Fiber] ATT is replacing BGW210 for a 5268AC
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

I last had Uverse back in 2011ish, Looking to come back
I had u-verse from when it was launched to around 2007 (Project LightSpeed days!!) to 2011. U-verse was 17mbps down 1.2mbps up for me then, that's all the faster it could go on my non pair bonded lines.
I live at a totally different home now, I am looking at U-verse/AT&T Internet again they are selling 100mbps/20mbps in my area for $49 with +10 for Modem. I am wondering how realistic that speed is, I am about ~850' from the nearest VRAD (are they even called that any more?, excuse my lack of knowledge, I was last knowledgeable about AT&T u verse 10 years ago!) And do I have to rent AT&Ts Modem for $10 a month?
The website is trying to sell me Self install? but for 100/20 I need VDSL2 pair bonding right? Is that still a big ol box that goes near the NID? (Again, go easy on me, its been 10 years)
Edit, I took some photos of the AT&T equipment at my house, I had not inventoried since moved here. I will have to run my own lines from the NID to wherever I put my modem, I ripped out almost all of the rats nest of old phone line/security system in my attic when I re-insulated the attic. I have Cat5e that I can run myself, or even COAX (my old Uverse install used coax inside my house) I assume with self install AT&T atleast hooks up the NID for me?
I am considering Uverse again because Comcast has been completely unable to get their internet working in my home:https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32711957-Rain-No-Internet-7-Visits-by-Comcast-Problem-not-fixed I have 100/5 with comcast, which is fine... when it works and doesn't have packet loss for hours a day. 10 month battle with comcast, I am SOOO done with giving them a shot. AT&T is offering free self install, and a $100 gift card right now to sign up... so I might just pull the trigger.
Thanks,

Best Gateway Signal Number To Use? TV WIFI Keeps Disconecting
1 through 10 is their a best one to use? Does that really help with signal strength? I have a TV in the basement and the Gateway is in room on the second floor. The TV’s WIFI keeps disconnecting. Or would a WIFI repeater help? Thanks.

bypass att pace gateway
ok i kind gentleman started helping me hopefully he sees this or someone else and can help me...I only use directtv and fiber gigabit...no uverse tv or voice... he sent me these instructions,,,,,do I need the dumb switch I have a 4 port router? this is the one I got
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GWJ44Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am thinking of this router it has enough ports I don’t need a switch do I?
Do the instructions change?
1) Make note of the AT&T Gateway's MAC address and then go into your third party router and change the MAC address of the WAN port of that router to be the same as on the AT&T gateway.
2) With everything from a fully off state, connect just fiber and the power cable to the ONT and power it on. Let it go for ~2 min to make the fiber connection.
3) Power on the dumb switch and connect ONT's Ethernet port to one port of the dumb switch.
4) Connect the WAN port of the AT&T Gateway to another port on the dumb switch and power the Gateway on.
5) Wait 1-2 minutes for the AT&T Gateway to connect. Use the LEDs to determine when it's done.
6) You can now power down the AT&T Gateway and disconnect it from the dumb switch.
7) Connect your router's WAN port to the dumb switch and power the router on.
8) Within a minute or two it should acquire the same IP, gateway and DNS as the gateway had.
9) Enjoy the full speed of your connection and rest easier because you aren't subject to the regular AT&T Gateway firmware updates that break more things than they fix.
Essentially what's happening is that the ONT needs authentication for your connection. When you hook the AT&T Gateway to it the authentication comes through and gets stored in the ONT. When you plug in your own router, because it has the same MAC address as the AT&T gateway, the ONT thinks your router is the AT&T Gateway
Some notes:
You will need to repeat these steps if the ONT or the dumb switch loses power, so many people employ a UPS for these devices. There is no problem if the router itself is power cycled, your connection will retain the authentication as long as the switch and ONT have stayed up. On rare occasions AT&T will do some sort of system maintenance or ONT firmware updates and power cycle the ONT, in which case you'll have to re-do the procedure.
You will not get IPV6 although for the majority of users, that's not really a problem and in fact, disabling that often makes for a faster, more stable connection. If it turns out that you do need IPV6 then there are more sophisticated ways to do it using more expensive equipment and requiring extensive networking knowledge.
