Thank you Mike! Very good pres and very informative! Happy Holidays in 2020!
Thanks Bob! Happy Holidays to you too!
Here is one for you. What did you set the DHCP lease time in the ATT modem? Mine is currently at 10 minutes.
advantages and disadvantages of passthrough fix and dynamic setting
I appreciate all of your information. I’m still a bit confused and am trying to understand it all before I try the IP Passthrough with my AT&T BGW210-700 and setting up my Orbi RBR50 for WiFi. One question before I “bite the bullet” and try to configure this. My phone line is using this modem for calling. Is there anything I need to know about that or will the phone just work fine? Thanks for your help.
Phone should not be affected (I presume you are talking ATT phone services)
@@MikeMu Yes, it is connected to the phone jack in the BGW210-700 AT&T router
Hello I recently started using fiber and I decided to connect my xr1000 router but lately it has been automatically disconnecting is their any fix
Hi Mike! I live in a small house with 3 other people and we have a lot of devices connected to the wifi. I noticed our AT&T router/modem was not putting out great speeds even with fiber. I went to best buy and bought a Netgear Night Hawk r7000. I watched your video on how to bridge my new router to AT&T and was getting good speeds for the first week (around 450 to 550 up and down). Now I am getting barely 50. I followed your video to a tee and still can not figure out why speeds have dropped all of the sudden. I have reset both routers multiple times, but I am still getting terrible speeds. I am however getting better speeds on the AT&T routers wifi than I am on my own. Is there anything you could suggest to do? If you need any more info about my network I will be happy to let you know. Thank you so much for making these videos for people like me, who need help with this sort of thing!
Hi Sudds! Sorry I thought a reply got sent. It sounds to me like you have a defective unit. I suggest contact AT&T to get a replacement. They will likely have to send out a tech to do some testing - they will likely have some replacement equipment which they can assign to you from their truck which will hopefully resolve your issues.
@@MikeMu Thanks for the reply mike! I ended up returning my Nighthawk and purchased a Google nest mesh network. It was super simple to set up and has been working strong for 2 months. I got my Nighthawk working but after two weeks in auto updated and never wanted to work with my AT&T modem/router combo.
Mike, couple of questions. Do i gain anything by upgrading to the Orbi WIFI 6 mesh system from my current Orbi 3 mesh system, when i am switching from the Spectrum internet to the AT&T Gig internet that is using the BGW320-505 model which i think is WIFI 6 already.
You'd gain more speed, more coverage. So yes. But if you don't need that at the further end of your property, and can stick around within range of the BGW320, you'd be fine without upgrading. Just know that your Orbi 3, and everything connected to it isn't going to be as fast. And frankly, that's enough for most.
Mike Mu well i do have coverage weakness on just the BGW. I have the wifi 6 version of Orbi but have not opened it yet. So i can return if there is not major benefits. But with Orbi 3 and BGW both being routers, i presume i have or will have issues. So i want to keep mesh network to get the full coverage inside and outside, but just not sure which one, and either way do i need to make Orbi an AP only, or turn off wifi on the BGW modem / router? Thanks very much for your insight and knowledge sharing.
My fiber line won’t allow my computer to connect to the 2.4ghz without challenging my Xbox One connection to the 5ghz. How can this be fixed? 😬
My question is, should the setup I followed have prevented a Double Nat setup? I have an Orbi RBR20
Yes. No double NAT if you followed my video. Your Orbi setup interface is also very close to mine. LAN on AT&T to WAN of your Orbi.
Mike Mu and the Orbi is set to Router instead of AP mode?
@@oldfashion9823 Right. But honestly, if you just want better wifi, AP mode is fine. You don't have to do any of this setup to do AP mode.
Mike Mu So my issue is the Xbox is connected to one satellite upstairs, but is still showing a double NAT connection. Hard resets on both the Orbi and the Arris router were done and I left the Orbi disconnected from the Arris router until it was time to do so? I forwarded the Xbox port through the Orbi app and it seemed to work but it would automatically reset eventually.
@@oldfashion9823 is your orbi showing the public IP? Also do you have UPNP on?
hello it seems like you know a lot more about routers than me so i was wondering if you know how to change your IP i got a completely new router and it did nothing it still has the same ip address i have the Arris bgw210-700 ive been getting ddos attacked and i dont know what to do at all i already called and they arent helpful i have a "dynamic" ip but it doesnt change i am hoping you can make a video and explain how to change the ip/ what i can do i rebooted my gateway everything possible nothing has helped me and i continue to get ddossed while i stream :(
First, how do you know its a DDOS attack against you?
Since it sounds like you are talking about the public IP (which AT&T assigns you), only AT&T can assign you a new IP address. I know even if its dynamic, the lease is often renewed to the same IP for a lot of people, so it might as well be static.
Did you try a hard reset of your gateway? Also a reset of the ONT (there is a reset button on it).
If none of that works, call in to cancel the service. If you disconnect, and sign up for new service, there's a good chance that you will get a new IP assigned along with new equipment. Then this time around, use a VPN when you stream.
@@MikeMu ill try that i know its a ddoss attack because they got my ip from a xbox party and every single time i stream they hit me off so i basically cant/havent streamed in 20 days after grinding and yeah ive tried everything im just going to have to hope my ip resets later on
So do you have 2 routers with the same IP Number? Or do you have 2 routers with different IP drivers ?
Different internal. Same external.
“IP Passthrough means the AT&T supported CPE device terminates the DSL, authenticates with the network (Receives a WAN IP) and shares that IP address with a single device connected to the AT&T supported CPE equipment. This configuration is often times suitable for a business customer desiring to connect third party equipment to AT&T supported equipment. The IP Passthrough configuration still allows AT&T support groups to access the AT&T supported equipment while allowing end-users to connect third party equipment in a configuration they desire. The IP Passthrough configuration will only allow one connection to AT&T supported equipment to be "unfiltered" or pingable from the WAN or internet side of the AT&T equipment (does not support multiple pingable connections).
The IP Passthrough feature allows a single PC on the LAN to have the AT&T Gateway's public address assigned to it. It also provides port address translation (PAT) or network address and port translation (NAPT) via the same public IP address for all other hosts on the private LAN subnet.
Using IP Passthrough, the public WAN IP is used to provide IP address translation for private LAN computers. The public WAN IP is assigned and reused on a LAN computer.”
Can I use two routers and an ethernet hub with att fiber?
Sure. I do. All depends on what you want or need.
@@MikeMu well I use the main router in my set up for spectrum. Then I connext another router with an ethernet cable to the back house. That way it’s a full ethernet set up
Which one are you connecting to AT&T? Keeping them separate? That sounds fine to me, except ATT is usually faster so why pay for both unless you are running a home biz?
@@MikeMu im gonna connect both to att. Sorry! I’m actually disconnecting spectrum asn replacing it with att fiber. But I wanted to see if I can still use the new att modem with the two wireless routers i have!
@@urfaceistoofunny Yes, you could, but I wouldn't recommend it. IP Passthrough will only work with one router. But you can just disable the routing functions of the second and use it as a switch.
How come I'm Getting 80 Mbps I order Fiber
Is that on wifi?
Hey Mike, is there anyway I can contact you? I really need help with this darn AT&T modem and my Xbox's. Appreciate it.
Hey! I'm going to get my Xbox in sometime next week so I'll figure what's going on and post a vid/how-to.
@@MikeMu thanks!
@@MikeMu Hey Mike,really appreciate the time you put into making these videos! I did have a question or series of questions. I'll start off with this, I have a BGW-210-700 with 1gig fiber service, I have the BGW in ip passthrough to my r7000 router that my pc is connected to(hard wired cate 5e). I do alot of gaming(gears of war)while behind the r7000 my NAT was open for some reason now it is not. while also behind the r7000 I have my speeds cut in half while hardwired to my pc( 248up 158 down) if I plug direct into BGW I get (946 down 418 up) In this format I still have a strict NAT but now have almost the full speeds but with no firewall protection. Any thoughts on how I can get my full speed and with an open NAT? Thank you for your time.
@Mike Mu@@Absentnose Did you ever get this figured out? I have the same setup and watched a number of videos on how to do the pass through, including Mike’s videos(thanks), but I am not getting hardwired speeds I feel I should. I get 870 down and 900 up when connected directly to the BGW210-700, but only 230 up and down when hardwired to my Nighthawk R7000. Any ideas why this is? Thanks
With Xbox you need to have it test NAT. It should come back as open.
seriously? BLM?
