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...
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.
Ok. Too bad.
I'd guess if you cannot get the Pace to do what you want without Orbi, and ATA&T gave you a locked down modem, and AT&T won't allow third party modems, then AT&T probably doesn't want you doing what you're trying to do!
Unless you can get around it using port forwarding, or some other workaround, you might have no choice other than going with another ISP.
Since your Orbi is getting a public IP, that means that DMZ+ is working. You might consider changing DNS servers on the Orbi. Try Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).
Also, this shouldn't make a difference, but you can also try changing the Orbi's LAN subnet to 192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0. If you do this, you will have to force all devices connected to the Orbi to obtain new IP addresses.
