Anyone using the AT&T BGW620-700 gateway?
Looking for any users that has an AT&T BGW620-700 gateway in their environment with Orbi BE system attached.
Looking for feedback and experiences.
Thank you.
Is IPv6 enabled on the RBR?
What CAT# LAN cable are you using between the BGW and RBR? CAT6A STP is recommended.
How are you speed testing? Ethernet PC for speed testing is recommended for best accuracy.
Let us know if you can test AP mode on the RBR to compare results.
Cat 7, IPV6 disabled on BGW and 970. Rebooted both devices for this retest, BGW then 970. Testing using BGW internal Speedtest and 970 internal Speedtest. Not using PC since the NIC is max 5G - Intel chip. Passthrough follow. Will test AP and will post over weekend.
Passthrough Results
Gbps - DOWN UP PING
BGW 5385 5323 1.2
970. 4763 5201. 1.2
Set 970 to AP. Reset BGW to factory defaults (no passthrough). All Wife disabled on BGW and DCHPS set to Fixed. Rebooted both. Performance results no change on 970. See below.
