DMZ Mode Impacts Internet Speed

On Pace 5268AC Gateway, I have a Nighthawk router set up as DMZ to essentially put the gateway into bridge mode. After several technical support reps and technicians, it was determined that all of AT&T equipment has firmware that significantly cuts the internet speed to anything in DMZ mode (I get 120mb down and up, but the DMZ router only gets about 40 down while the up stays at 100+). However, today it seems this has changed and now the DMZ router gets ZERO internet. Can AT&T please update the firmware to allow full speed to the DMZ router or any speed at all for that matter?!

LOL. They sent me another pace. Sigh. I give up. I'm going with the pinhole solution, but I have a feeling it's adding latency and the aesthetics are terrible.

@h50 Hang tight, it looks like people are getting pushed a new firmware for the Pace and initial reports indicate that it fixes the DMZ+ issue, among other things.

Any idea what the new f/w version is?
