Set Up NETGEAR Router with ATT Fiber
I have the new NETGEAR Nighthawk Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System (MK62) - AX1800 Router with 1 Satellite Extender nad trying to set it up with my ATT Fiber BGW210-700. I have looked into other posts but I cannot seem to figure this out and how to make it work correctly. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey, @jbsollers25, let's see if we can get your 3rd party router set up on our network!
In order to set your new router as the primary router, you will need to bridge it with our gateway using IP Passthrough. You will also want to make sure Wi-Fi is disabled on our gateway so as not to interfere with your new router. You will need to access the user interface, which you can do by opening a browser window and entering http://192.168.1.254 in the address bar.
Let us know if this helps!

First plug in your netgear router to an ethernet port on the att
gateway and make sure its powered on. next on the gateway homepage (enter 192.168.1.254 on web browser), go to firewall and then select IP passthrough. enter in your access code. under allocation mode select passthrough. passthrough mode should be selected as dhcps-fixed. then choose your router from the device list. afterwards hit save and restart your netgear router.

Did you use AP or Router mode for your Netgear? Thank you!

Two Questions..
1. Does this device make a difference for those using WiFi in the house? I have a hardline to my work computer, so getting the full power of my 1 GB feed.
2. I don't see any IP Passthrough option when I look at my ATT Router

If it's a BGW210 then it's under the Firewall tab in the gateway's UI. But if you have a Pace 5268ac, then you'd be looking for DMZ+ mode because it doesn't have IP Passthrough.
Here's a link to the procedure for the Pace.
Oh, yes, running a good third party router behind the AT&T gateway (and disabling wifi on the gateway) should provide you with much better wifi service and reliability.

Does anyone have issues with needing to restart the netgear router? It seems every few weeks devices lose internet connection until you restart netgear. Everything is seton on att gateway to pass through the the netgear router

Hello @Travis212
Since you have confirmed your passthrough settings are accurate through the RG (Residential Gateway) and the NETGEAR router is functioning outside of these intermittent issues; it's likely going to be best to interact with NETGEAR support.
Troubleshooting 3rd party equipment can be difficult and often we will have to refer to the manufacturer of the device. You can click here to access the NETGEAR support page.
You might look at this support page and make sure all the settings are accurate relating to the Nighthawk RXA80 configuration for an AP (Access Point)
