I only had two submissions. I'm back in LA now, and I figured out that the 'new' stuff being sent out is the *Motorola BGW210-700l* , which is of course a completely different interface. I'm signing back up with AT&T, and will do a walk-through for the 'new' equipment. Subscribers will get notified first, and I'll be sure to tick the notification on when the video is released. I expect the equipment to get here by this weekend.

Thank you. I have been beating my head against the wall to get this done.

I have a small ArrisGro device connected to my AT&T router. It provides connectivity to my AT&T wireless set top boxes. Other than connecting it into a Google Nest WiFi router LAN port, is there a way I can completely bypass it & use my router to provide connectivity?

Actual video starts at 4:55 - for those familiar with ATT's gateway login

I'm a little stuck, I turned off the wifi signal on the gateway and enabled IP passthrough to the mac address, which I assume is my old/home router. Do I need to assign the old router the same MAC address as the AT&T gateway?

Should I plug my U-verse DVR box into the Pace router or new router

Hey Mike, I'm having the same issue as the last comment. Are you able to help with that? Our IP page is not set up like yours.

When I try to disable the firewall and set the IP address to public, it doesn't keep these settings even after I select "save" and it tells me "configuration successful". Any insight into this? My orbi router doesn't come up on the "Allowed Application Lists" like it does for you at 5:41 either.

the first reviewer of this video.

I'm trying to connect a Verizon fios g1100 router to an existing att network. I have access to both, the att and g1100 settings but I'm not sure which one or what I need to configure. Please advise.

You can also use their passthru in the gateway, however, all these methods still have are switched and through the horrible gateway... ( I believe you were looking for the term double NAT).

So my service router/modem gives me only 1.00 mbps downs and ups. But it says it can max up to 54 mbps tho, will buying a better router make it faster or fix it I mean?

Anyone have a more recent update to this setup with using the ATT Arris BDW210-700 modem? I don't see all the options he does in this video. But would like to achieve the same results.

Could you elaborate on how/why you changed DHCP of AT&T router to avoid potential conflict?

Welcome!!

Are you using a BGW210-700? What firmware do you have? I tried this a year ago on older firmware but was not able to make any changes to the modem even though I had the password to get into settings. So, instead I bypassed the AT&T modem using the VLAN + MAC clone method (found by Google search) so that I don't have to the use their device at all. Basically I boot their modem to authenticate 802.1x, then shut it off, then boot up my own router that has the MAC cloned. I find this small inconvenience the best way to eliminate their device and avoid double NAT.

Im sure this is the exact guide i can use for setting up my nighthawk router. My only problem is that ATT is not recognizing the new router under Settings->LAN->LAN IP Address Allocation. It's like my new router doesnt exist even tho it's connected to the router as specified in the vid. Does anyone have any ideas?

As below, no settings tab. Homepage is different

On the newest version of the ATT gateway software...which is 2.7.7. it seems there’s no DMZ feature at all on this newest update...nor is there a way to go to LAN settings for specific ports. Did ATT disable these features from their firmware? I’m at a total loss. Under the ‘Firewall’ tab is a feature called IP Passthough? Maybe that’s similar?

Hi Mike, I found this video after watching your review on the Recast which was full of excellent information and I now feel confident about buying one, thanks!! I'm getting ready to switch from Comcast which I have had for 35 years to Verizon FIOS. Been wanting to switch for years at every price increase but they recently dropped my favorite TV channel which was the last straw, so I'm bingeing information trying to get up to speed on this technology. I know electronics very well but I'm still in the ice age with entertainment stuff. For instance, my main TV is still a CRT model which just won't die LOL. So anyway, a simple question. Verizon in my area allows users to buy their own router and I'm even finding lists of acceptable routers on the net. What is the big difference with the AT&T system and how are they blocking the signal if you want to get rid of their router and rental fees? Verizon FIOS has an ONT installed (their equipment) which converts fiber to coax or Ethernet cable which connects directly into the router. In my case with buying internet only I will just have the Ethernet cable going to my purchased router. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the comment. I'm happy my videos are getting watched. Well good news is with Verizon and your described setup you are good to go. That is the ideal setup with ethernet going to your router . No need for all this other stuff I had to do with AT&T. In fact, I don't think you have many limits with the router you pick. (If you care to share their approved list, I'd be happy to comment on it). The reason why AT&T forces you to use their stuff is mostly so that they can sell you their other services (phone, and TV) and to control your usage through the box, troubleshoot issues etc. Congrats!

I remember is was a 2019 review of the top 10 routers but I didn't pay much attention to it because my plan will include free router rental and price hold for 2 years. After 2 years I will be looking at routers again or maybe even switch back to Comcast (internet only) or another service.

@@nicholasceea4109 Oh, well to be more clear the unit I had in my case was a router/modem/AP combination. Most places simply do a MAC ID address whitelist and assignment. Each networking device has a unique one, and then they have a super-admin access into it. Besides that each box phones home with its status periodically, and it allows them to send out resets, settings etc. The problem is because they want to be able to troubleshoot (keep costs down), they lock you into their modem. Plus also charge you a fee to 'rent' said modem. And again its just about whitelisting and assigning the MAC ID address to their system and your account. So it's more important to separate the modem from the router in my case because I want a better performing router, and wireless AP than what was built-in to the triple combo. Direct ethernet in your case is the best case scenario and one that I paid extra to do when I had Verizon FIOS. Then that became Frontier and things went downhill a bit... Oh yes, always negotiate a month in advance to when your 'promo' deal is going to expire. They'll keep the same rate for you at the very least in most areas.

Hi Manuel. My case was to use as little of the router from AT&T as possible for the most speed and control. If your only issue is with streaming and through wireless, what you could do is just choose to setup your Netgear Nighthawk in AP only mode, and then you just plug into one of the lan ports of the AT&T. I'm afraid I don't have one of my nighthawks in front of me to see which port, but I think if you choose AP mode the WAN port should be fine (on the Netgear) - check the manual. You can then just disable the WIFI on the AT&T unit, (or keep it but make sure the frequency doesn't overlap with the frequencies you want to use in your home). Note in this scenario, you aren't using the routing capabilities of your Nighthawk, just the tech around the WIFI and AP portions. Just means you're paying for stuff you aren't using but if the end result is satisfactory then does it matter much? Only you can decide. Go my route if you want to use your Nighthawk features beyond the AP (access point).

If you have att uverse, then your user interface will looks exactly like Mike’s. If you just have Att’s internet service (ex. BGW210) then the interface is completely different for your isp homepage. To bridge your router all you have to do is turn off WiFi on your gateway in that case.

terrance hayes so all I have to do is turn off my Wi-Fi on my BGW router and connect my Google mesh network to it and it will work fine?

robbie adams it’s a little bit more difficult than just that. Turn off the WiFi, disable packet filtering, and do a IP Passthrough on the gateways firewall. Find the MAC address for your router and put it in manually or find it from the device list. You also have to disable the firewall settings (if your 3rd party router has firewall settings though). If you are a gamer, like I am, you also have to create an IP Passthrough for all of your connected gaming consoles. I hope this helps!!!

I just wanted to add more wifi on the top floor how can I just add my old netgear wndr4000 as a extender

Hey! If you want to do that, I'd recommend installing third party firmware to add functions to it, then set it as a repeater. wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_WNDR4000 If you don't want to do that, if you can run a cable upstairs set the WNDR4000 in AP (Access Point mode). If I had that model around, I'd have done a walkthrough for you.

In my area at time of video, you have to use their modem/equipment. There are ways to use your own, but it’s a hassle and technically against their terms. So my method allows me to use my own for my routing, and wireless AP needs and achieve close to real 1000MBps speed I paid for throughout my house.

If it's the part I'm thinking you are talking about, it's to ensure no IP address conflicts between my Netgear Orbi and the Modem/Router/AP from AT&T. Since I had a pre-existing setup I didn't want to change it so I opted to change the AT&T IP address instead (if I recall correctly).

I followed your directions and set it up with any Orbi system as the main router. Everything works perfectly except for some reason Disney Plus on my Apple TV (ethernet connected or wifi) and phones does not work... if I start the process over and switch my Orbi to AP mode everything works just fine... any ideas what the problem might be?

In the "Allocation Mode" section, select "Passthrough" in the dropdown box. 4. In the "Passthrough Fixed MAC Address" section, select your router from the "Device List" dropdown. (Note, you will need to have your router connected to your modem via ethernet in order to be able to select your router from the list). 5. Click Save 6.

Sounds like you didn't get it. Try AT&T Support. Good luck!

These guys one here are making videos to fool the normal person. You don’t need to change your IP to anything. All you have to do is change WiFi channel and separate WiFi channels. If adding a separate WiFi router then disable WiFi on the RG. I’m tech and I’m finding these (tech) videos hilarious. Add a good mesh network to cover a home and leave it alone. These net gear routers that cost hundreds of dollars will do nothing. I have been doing this for over 11 years. The biggest problem with AT%T WiFi is ban steering. Separate the WiFi channels and you will be set without buying a separate router. Unless you have a large home then I suggest a mesh network.

According to the AT&T tech, he hasn't seen speed that high achieved yet after doing the speedtest as a final test before leaving.
