Nighthawk RAX120 seems to be filtering web sites

What do you think about getting an AT&T router wihout the wifi so I can connect a good wifi router to it?  I'm sure AT&T would be happy to charge me lots of money to swap it out.

 

Not a good idea.

 

That would still leave you with two routers. The RAX120 and whatever ATT provided. What you really need from ATTis a modem, not a modem router.

 

But you already have the RAX120 connected to the 5268AC. Work out how to get them to cooperate and to use the the 5268AC as a modem.

 

Then look into getting wifi everywhere you need it. Are you saying that the RAX120 isn't powerful enough on its own?

 

The first challenge is to get the existing modem/router, the 5268AC, to behave itself by turning off its router bit. You aren't the first one to want to do that:

 

AT&T U-verse Pace Plc 5268AC bridge mode (with caveat) – DraconPern

 

How do I put Pace 5268AC Router in passthrough bridge mode? | AT&T Community Forums

 

That's just two of the places a search will reveal.

 

When you have got that sorted out, you can begin ti think about the wifi challenge.

 

See if your RAX120 can deliver the goods. If not, think about adding wifi extenders, not more routers.

 

When it comes to getting the Internet to wired devices that don lt move around the place, like TVs, I am a great believer in Powerline Ethernet. It uses the house's mains circuit as a wired Ethernet network. You can even get Powerline that combines wired and wifi.

 

So, take it a step at a time. Fix the first problem, those filtered web sites, and then move on to the next task.
