BGW210-700 complete bypass with own PFSense router

Hello @chromed,

To answer your question there is no way to fully replace the BGW210-700.

You would have to allow it through passthrough mode if you would like to use the PFSense router in conjunction with the BGW.

BGW210-700 in passthrough mode does not work. It keeps blocking my tracking even though its firewall has been set to off. I have tried to use cascade router or public subset but none of these options let me decrease the latency...

How do you know that the BGW210 "in passthrough mode does not work" and that it's the BGW210 "blocking your tracking"  And how did you set "its firewall...to off?"

Cascaded Router and Public Subnet are intended only for use when you are renting a public static IP block from AT&T, so neither of these are appropriate to your situation.

My NAT table and logs in BGW210 shows that... In real passthrough/bridge mode you should be able to completely disable NAT and use BGW210 as a modem, but right now, I got limited to 8192 available sessions and a full of latency out-dated ARRIS gateway... 

@chromed I'm with you brother!!!

I have to restart my BGW210 every few days, and I only have one system. I try to Torrent a *nix OS and everything shuts down. I can ping the LAN port of the BGW210, but that's it... I can't get to the webGUI, I can't ping Google/Microsoft/ATT. I think I'm blowing up the State Table, but I have no idea because they don't have any way to diagnose the ***** thing.

I've leased 5 IP from ATT. and I can't even get my pfSense box to be the gateway for them... I'd have to put 5 NICs in to handle the 5 IPs
