Seems like I see a lot of posts with that att gateway and having drops/issues when in passthrough mode.
I'd try putting it back in router mode (with wifi disabled) and either put the SXR80 in ap mode or put the netgears IP address into the ATT gateway's dmz.
I'd test that.

Thank you.
But this is weird, if we haver the AT&T & router strictly acting as an internet modem, how can the modem be able to stop communicating with specific devices? If internet connection drops from the broadband modem, I would assume internet would drop from all the devices, and would even show "no internet" in the Orbi Status website.
Thoughts?
Thank you.

Its more a point of poor coding on att's gateways for their "modem only" passthrough mode.
