Orbi and AT&T Fiber w/ Arris BGW210 Router Problems + Optimal Home Network Expansion Tips
Hi all,
Long-term Netgear user, first-time poster here. Having some issues with my Orbi system playing with my AT&T Fiber and have been scanning these forums as well as others but can't seem to...
Hello generals1992
. TL;DR. :)
As my sig suggests I have one of these residential gateways for my VDSL2 connection. I'll offer what I can in the way of suggestions.
My experience with ATT provided gateways has been such that I've made a decision begrudgningly to use Orbi as the router to manage my home network. I would have preferred to use the device they provided for convenience, but there were just too many problems with WiFi calling I couldn't overcome is the short answer to a question you might have.
And as the sig states, I run the BGW210 in IP passthrough mode. ATT user community forums is also a good resource on how to configure your gateway in IP Passthrough mode. Both forums use the same Lithium product so shouldn't be too hard to navigate around.
If you do decide to go down this path, I'd factory reset the BGW210 and the RBK50 sequentially to start fresh. I like to use hardware reset with paper clip. Once the RBR50 comes online, you'll want to use a PC to login to the router's web gui. You'll see a message indicating the router reconfigured the LAN subnet to avoid conflict with the BGW210 since it uses the same 192.168.1,x subnet as the Orbi. The Orbi will move itself to 10.0.0.x. From there, everthing else should be business as usual.
