AT&T Uverse Pace 5268AC in DMZ+ With Orbi ... help please
So I've been struggling with this for about two weeks now. I want to be able to use Orbi as my router with my ATT suplied Pace box because the Pace doesn't support UPnp or NAT lookup (or so people sa...
This is really an issue with your Pace 5268AC router. You want to put the Pace into bridge mode, if it supports it, so the Pace will pass the WAN IP to your Orbi in router mode.
See if this works:

If that doesn't work, then Google "pace 5268AC bridge mode" and look to see what other people have done.
In any case, proceed with caution and at your own risk. :)
The actually doesn't have a bridge mode offically it only supports DMZ+ mode which is an IP passthrough. Essentially you're dissabling the firewall on a single devie and passing it the public IP address. Unfortunatley that's really what everyone is recommending an it's the only thing I can do. I think my problem is a bit more nuanced than that. I bet there is some seetting or something someone could see in the numbers if they looked at both of my settings page and I'm just not seeing it because I'm not that good at this stuff.
The link I posted is for enablng bridge mode on the 5268AC. I realize you might have different firmware, which does not have the same option, but did you follow the link and see if the instructions work on your device?
Yeah it seems like a lot of thinks on that wiki are dated now that they've updated the firmware the section doesn't even exist in my settings.
