Re: Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
I'm guessing you are in STL?
I switched from Charter to ATT Fiber 1000/1000 over a year ago.
No coax, it's Fiber up to the ONT then Cat6 to the modem/router they give you.
I have the crappier older Pace 5268AC with passthru.
I just recently got my Orbi, and overall it works well. I'm still ironing out a few hiccups, but happy overall with the Orbi.
Overall the Fiber to Orbi setup with Passthru is good, and I hear it is better if you get the newer modem/router.

Re: Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
Used to live in STL. Wasn't thinking about that when I made the username though haha.
Ok thanks for explaining the setup. I'll have to look into it further whether or not MoCA is an option using Fiber internet. What speeds are you pulling through your Orbi? I know not to expect anywhere near 1000mbps through WiFi, but I'd feel better using the Orbi rather than whatever built-in WiFi the AT&T modem/router may have (assuming it would be weak).

Re: Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
My Orbi set up worked fine on Xfinity. Since I've switched to ATT Fiber, a lot of urls ask me to log in.
I can't even see the Netflix.com main page without it prompting me to log in.
The ATT side has an Arris BGW210-700 and I've turned off its wifi and switched it into passthrough mode
with the RBR50's MAC address as the passthrough target.
I'm at a loss for why some urls just have to stop and ask for a router login.
If I switch my phone over to the cell network, it gets into the same urls just fine, but not on the wireless.
The only change was he Xfinity+Netgear cable modem to ATT+Arris switch.

Re: Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
I would remove the IP pass thru the for RBR, then configure AP mode on the RBR.

Re: Orbi w/ AT&T Fiber
FWIW, I have att internet and that same gateway with internal WiFi disabled and the Orbi in AP mode.

Putting my Orbi in AP (Access Point) mode and turning off the WIFI on the Arris worked a charm. No more problems.

Yes, and if one is interested in this sort of thing, I suggest using dslreports as a more authoritative resource.
For future readers, att has released an all in one ONT/RG combo box where it's unlikely a bypass will be successful.
