    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    A factory reset w/initialize all settings cleared the anomaly. I changed the minimum number of settings to make it work, so it might have been something I had tweaked over the years. I have done this in the past several times for system wide problems, not sure why I ruled it out for so long...

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    Using "AiMesh", 2.5G between them. "Use Ethernet cables to connect the LAN port of your main AiMesh router to the WAN port of each AiMesh node"

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    Keeps getting weirder. My T-mobile gateway has a local address and works. The AT&T one started with 99.29. This one, right?

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    I have factory reset the gateway twice and tried all the advice here, to no avail. What could cause such specific site problems every time? Is there any point in factory resetting the router?

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    I did correct the lease time and disabled the firewall features as stated in the "how to use your own router..." link. Nice graphics @aex.perez, that should come in handy. Unfortunately, I'm still in the same boat. In desperation, I've tried disabling the router firewall, all of the AI...

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    My comment on disabling DHCP on the gateway was misguided (stupid) and you can see in the pic the router was given the first number in the pool, 64. I too, was surprised the default lease is 10 minutes but jumped into firewall settings before calling it a day. Thanks to everyone and I will...

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    That is my layout. Still no go after this. Wasn't in the pulldown, added it manually.

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    I complied with everything above, but still have the problem. The only thing questionable was the passthrough MAC address. When I used the pull down it showed 4 choices but it didn't say which port was which (I moved the cable to each one but no dice). The were preceded by name like my cell...

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    I would really prefer to keep my LAN ips in 192.168.1.x as I have over 90 devices and I prefer not to change the DHCP reservations and those set manually. So passthrough with my router set to a an unused number in my LAN (it's 192.168.1.1 now)? What gateway and DNS for my LAN members? Turn off...

    Problems with switch to AT&T fiber

    I've been using a GT-AX6000 with T-Mobile gateway successfully for months, but AT&T fiber just became available so I leapt. It seems to work except for some sites that require authentication (guessing) like Netflix, Sling, Plex and even on AT&T's site that require logging in. When using their...

    Slow access point

    I have a cellular service (rural) so the bandwidth and ping time varies by line of site, antenna(s), etc. Ping time was about 80, but for some reason almost doubled when I got a static IP. I previously had a Netgear as the AP and it did the same. I've tried different SSIDs, using same now...

    Slow access point

    Possibly notable, when the speed test begins the rate climbs rapidly like all is well, then in a couple of seconds it drops in an orderly fashion to 3Mbps or below as though I'm being throttled.

    Yes

    Slow access point

    I have 2 RT-AC68Us with the second setup as an access point to cover more distance. Whenever I connect wirelessly to the AP, the speed is no more than 3Mbps (both bands) in fits and spurts (40-50 is normal). Always full speed on the main router. Both are on the same subnet using channels 1...
