So I think I hooked everything up correctly. But something isn't correct as I cannot watch U-Verse TV. The internet seems to work fine but U-Verse freezes about 10 seconds of viewing. Resetting the receiver does nothing.
Just to confirm, I did the following things:
- Firewall. > Set IP Passthrough (set to Passthrough and then selected DHCPS-fixed.
- Packed Filter > (Turned them all off)
- Turned off Wi-Fi for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
- Firewall > Firewall Advanced > (turned all options to Off)
Then, other than ethernet cable from the BGW210 to the RBK752, all others are attached to the RBK752.
And just to check, I reversed all of these steps and removed the Orbi from the setup. So settings were returned to "normal" and ethernet cables were plugged into the BGW210. And U-Verse works fine!
Please help!!

Re: RBK752 & U-Verse. BGW210
one question, though … with all of the features being disabled in AP Mode, what is/are the advantage of AP Mode?

Re: RBK752 & U-Verse. BGW210
Avoid hassles of ISPs modems that may not work right with the RBR In router mode.
IF the RBR is crashing the ISP modem, possible some thing is going on at the modem level as well.

Use default firewall settings or recommended by the ISP.

Re: RBK752 & U-Verse. BGW210
So more or less, AP Mode allows me to take advantage of Netgear's same high speeds and wider wi-fi range as Router Mode but without the side benefits such as the Orbi app and Netgear Armour?

Only Armor would not be avaialble. You can still use Orbi app.

Re: RBK752 & U-Verse. BGW210
Great! My mine concern is the wi-fi speed and range anyway. The others are just added benefits (that would be nice, especially Armour).

Re: RBK752 & U-Verse. BGW210
"Turn off IP passthru for AP mode." means OFF on the modem.

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.
