Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
I am looking to switch to AT&T fiber. I currently have xfinity internet for which I use my orbi system. AT&T representative said there would be no benefit to using the orbi with their fiber. Is that c...
Putting my Orbi in AP (Access Point) mode and turning off the WIFI on the Arris worked a charm. No more problems.
As someone who uses this service. I had issues with the orbi working properly on DMZ problem solved by just getting the correct gateway to start with. ATT will provide it if youy ask for it.
You have to use the ATT Router. It is becase they identify the equipment by its serial number. So you can't sppof its mac address. But just put thier equipment in ippassthrough and turn off wifi on its router. The orbi will work fine then.
Thanks for the quick response mpf541, however, the Pace 5268AC router has no "pass through" option. It is widely documented on the web. There are some people who have gotten it to work in a partial pass through with other mesh systems, but I have been unable to get it to work with TP-Link Deco and 3 other single unit routers.
I have had the pace 5288AC. I called ATT and explained that I needed a different modem for IP passthrough. Just tell them you have equipment that needs this feature. They will replace it. I currently have a Arris BGW210-700 and it works fine with the orbi.
My Orbi set up worked fine on Xfinity. Since I've switched to ATT Fiber, a lot of urls ask me to log in.
I can't even see the Netflix.com main page without it prompting me to log in.
The ATT side has an Arris BGW210-700 and I've turned off its wifi and switched it into passthrough mode
with the RBR50's MAC address as the passthrough target.
I'm at a loss for why some urls just have to stop and ask for a router login.
If I switch my phone over to the cell network, it gets into the same urls just fine, but not on the wireless.
The only change was he Xfinity+Netgear cable modem to ATT+Arris switch.I would remove the IP pass thru the for RBR, then configure AP mode on the RBR.
