Orbi AX 6000 and AT&T fiber gateway issue
I recently purchased the Orbi with WIFI 6 and planned on using them in AP mode to extend my U-verse Fiber gateway modem signal. Got the WiFi set up just fine but now my U-verse TV signal locks up afte...
- So AT&T came out and configured the gateway so that it all works now. They kept the tv feeds going to the gateway, set it to IP pass through and turned off he WiFi. The Orbi had to be set to router mode, not AP mode because of an IP conflict. Everything is running again.
I wonder how much this NAT presence is affecting the overall performance of the system. I don't have any problems right now with 40+ devices but with more devices in the future, If the difference becomes significant, then bypassing ATT Router by Dumb switch method, by spoofing the MAC of the Router on Orbi, is an attractive alternative.
Another factor us router processing interference as well. How well are routers and gatway modems built to handle speeds along with handling of devices and all the included features that they imploy. CPU and memory will be a factor here.
Something you could try, and if it doesn't work out, revert back.
