Configuring the Orbi RBR850 kit with an AT&T Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway -fequent DNS errors
Hello, I am using an Orbi RBR850 with the AT&T Fiber BGW320-500 Gateway and followed to the letter AT&T instructions as well as some found in this forum to configure the RBR850 in IP Pathrough mode....
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
The firmware version is 7.2.6.31 on the RBR850.
IPv6 is Disabled on my RBR850. Should I turn it on?
IPv6 is available on my BGW320-500 and seems to be enabled.
I am trying to avoid using the RBR850 in AP mode as I was told I would lose some functionality if I did so.
Also as I mentioned before, I am puzzled by the following fact:
My RBR 850 has a MAC address at the bottom of the router, ending with 74. When I go to my BGW320-500 and click on "Device List" I see xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:75 where xx are the same digits as my RBR850 MAC address.
Still in the BGW320-500 configuration under Firewall>IP Passthrough
Passthrough Fixed MAC Address > Device list gave me the MC address ending with 75, but I manually entered the one with 74 at the end. Could that cause issues?
Should I use Dynamic DNS Service on the RBR850 (it is currently unchecked).
Try the 75 as seen by the ISP modem first.
