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.
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.
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.

The only change was he Xfinity+Netgear cable modem to ATT+Arris switch.- Att doesn’t allow their gateways’ router section to be bypassed, so little if anything to be gained by running two sequential routers.
FWIW, I have att internet and that same gateway with internal WiFi disabled and the Orbi in AP mode.Some have tired this with ATT gateways:

Yes, and if one is interested in this sort of thing, I suggest using dslreports as a more authoritative resource.
For future readers, att has released an all in one ONT/RG combo box where it's unlikely a bypass will be successful.

Glad it worked. Enjoy. :smileywink:
