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.

Thanks FURRYe38.
Nearly 24 hours ago, I changed the MAC address in the BGW320-500 under Firewall>IP Passthrough>Passthrough Fixed MAC Address to the one proposed/seen by the BGW320-500 (the one that ends in 75 instead of 74).
I did several DNS tests afterward which seemed to pass just fine.
I am now in full work mode, as is my wife, and we will see how the day goes.
I do not plan to make any changes to the RBR850 configuration or the BGW320-500 today, and I will most likely wait until another heavy work day (Monday) to see how the RBR850 behaves. I have 20 devices active on my home network, 4 being heavy users of it.
For my curiosity and perhaps the next step, my BGW320-500 supports IPv6, and so is the RBR850. Should I think about enabling IPv6 on the RBR850?
Thanks

I forgot to mention that the Firmware version on the RBR850 is v7.2.6.31
