Configuring the Orbi RBK752 kit with an at&t Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway

Hello FURRYe38 and Phyber,

Once again, thank you for having taken the time to respond to my posting, I appreciate it.

Everything is working well.

I would like to share the process I followed to complete the configuration of the AT&T Fiber Gateway BGW320-500 with the NETGEAR Orbi RBK752 Combo (RBR750 Router + 1 RBS750 Satellite), in case it can benefit someone else under the same circumstances.

Note: The Orbi router located in the main floor of the house is connected to the AT&T Gateway located in the basement via ethernet cable (pre-wired home structure).

Before starting, ensure you have handy the BGW320's IP Address (default should be 192.168.1.254), and Access Code, as well as the Orbi router's MAC Address.

1. Ensured Orbi was in DHCP mode.

2. Disconnected everything from the BGW320.

3. Connected the Orbi and my laptop directly to the BGW320. 

4. Logged into the BGW320 via browser.

5. Under the Device List Tab "cleared" and "rescanned" for devices. 

6. Under the Firewall Tab enabled IP Passthrough.

7. Selected Allocation Mode: Passthrough.

8. Selected Passthrough Mode: DHCPS-fixed.

9. Opened/selected in drop-down menu Passthrough Fixed MAC Address: Orbi's MAC Address. If it does not show, enter the MAC Address manually. In fact, one of the instructions I found recommends entering the MAC Address manually, bypassing the drop-deown menu selection.

10. Clicked on "Save".

For me it took after the first attempt, but in case it does not, it is recommended to go to the Device Tab and restart.

Regards,

José
