There are many "bridge mode" router setups that i've tested and this is by far the best and closest you can get to true bridge mode. Unfortunately, it is not free. But, it turns your ISP gateway into an enterprise modem capable of assigning more than just one public IP - which is awesome. I'm very happy with this setup. (edit) P.S. This video did not hit sub boxes

Wtf??😂 I usually follow you for playstation 5 information, but I found you here as well lol very cool 😎

[@pocketknifeMT]

Most ISPs will not lease you a static IP anymore unless you have a business account (we kinda ran out of IPv4 addresses a long time ago), FYI for anyone out there looking to do this. I only have a static at home because I got it 15ish years ago.

[@SobeHall]

This is cool, I think since you’re having success with your setup it would be cool to see how you have your Pace configured as far as all of the settings are concerned internally. Not just specially the “modem only” mode. I have issues with ATT dropping my signal completely at times, I have a Nighthawk AX12 sitting behind my Pace 5286 and the WiFi improvement is 1000% better but my fiber 1Gb connection is still wonky at times even though any time I do a true Speedtest from the modem I’m getting around 980-995Mbps at all times ...

[@benjaminc.m.9873]

As long as the "IP Passthrough" function that is available on some of the ATT Gateways shows successful trace routing over IPv4 and IPv6, wouldn't that method be sufficient? I know the "DMZ" mode on your model doesn't actually allow IPv6 passthrough, just want to know if the "IP Passthrough" function works better than "DMZ"...thanks

[@tjhuntog]

Yes most efficient. That’s what I use, ip pass through and disable all filters and security options on att gateway disabled

[@BenDover-yt3fs]

Will I get charged more if I do this though? I’ve never seen anyone complain that they get charged more on their bill so I assume they don’t?

[@ahwang95]

I purchased a block of static IP addresses through ATT and I don't have that option on my router settings for public routed network.

[@jeffm4284]

I haven't done this (I may in the future), so you'll need to read the Help text off to the right side: 1) Look under "Home Network", "Subnets & DHCP", 1/2 way down, "Public Subnet". 2) Then also check "Firewall", IP Passthrough", 1st option "Allocation Mode"=Off. Change it to "Passthrough". Change other settings on the page as required. 3) Under "Firewall", check "Public Subnet Hosts". This will not display options until "Public Subnet" is turned ON, so I can't tell what this will do. This is all more complicated than in this video, but looks a lot more robust - more feature rich. Good luck. If you get it working, please document for the rest of us.

This is all super helpful! Would all of these this to be done if I bought my own standalone modem without the router combined?

I was enjoying wifi 6 via my Nighthawk router AX50 and all devices were flying too. Then, a couple of weeks later, nobody was able to connect to it anymore. A Cox representative bragged about something called "Beacon"; built into the newer Panoramic wifi modem/router. She said it eventually detects your 3rd party router and blocks it on your network. Is there a way to disable something like that; so we are able to still use gigablast internet? Even when I had their 300 mbps service, my router surpassed 300mbps on speed tests. Now. I am hitting 800+ out of 1000mbps (I'm not complaining about that speed. But I miss using the MU MIMO protocol for our household's barrage of devices.

[@techstuff3120]

John, do you think there are hidden settings that get activated/turned off on the att backend when you get a static ip vs the dynamic one? From what I see, the static is very similar to the dmz+ mode, but I’ve tried that and some devices go through and others like my tv and ring alarm do not, I finally set it up as just two separate network ranges and limited the att router to 1 address range and seems to be working for me, but was just curious if everything that wasn’t working for you on the dmz method is working for you on this way of doing it? Just debating to opt for the 15$ to find out it still works flaky, no guarantee, just looking for your experience with both methods. I’ve watched your other videos so I take it this way is actually working for you...

With this method does it bypass the DNS servers that the 5268 forces on you so you can specify your own Primary and Secondary DNS servers? AT&T should give out free static IP's for that reason alone.

Got a question John. Wanting to know if this will solve my problem. Sounds like it will. Great video and thank you. Quick summary: purchased an asus router that would allow me to connect my vpn service on it. Trouble now is that I have a double nat on Xbox. ISP router doesn’t have bridge mode. I have tried passthrough but that doesn’t fix it either. Aftermarket modems cannot be used with the isp and the isp does not offer any simple modems without router capabilities. So if I call them back and am able to purchase another static ip from them (or five 🙄) should that solve my issue as far as you know?

[@jeremiahjohnson5205]

My ISP basically did the same thing with me when i asked. But I believe I'm only getting a single IP for $10/month. I didn't realize why they were charging me til i watched this video. I have to be careful with mine though, if I plug in a new router or device directly, I have to clone the MAC address that I was just using on old router otherwise I can lose my connection or lease and end up having to call tech support (not 24 hour) to fix it. Really annoying.

just disable wifi and DHCP on your ISP modem.. that is the same as bridge mode... when you do that, your router will handle all DHCP bypassing your ISP modem.

you seem to have a lack of understanding about the majority of this topic. you dont need a block of static ips and you dont need multiple routers to get "open nat" on your xbox lol. all this requires is port forwarding. to further my point, this guide has nothing to do with bridge mode. you dont put the modem into bridge mode.

[@ms7165]

Disclaimer, not real tech proficient! I currently have a BGW210 with Orbi router and 1 satellite. I have an automated home with multiple hubs (Smartthings, Hue, Hubitat etc.) that have assigned fixed IP addresses that I want/must keep as is. The ATT gateway is 5+ years old and they have sent me a replacement 2Wire 5268AC. I really need this changeout to go as smoothly as possible so will this process be the preferred method of changing out the gateway? One more thing; I have a Synology NAS that when attempting to set up Open VPN, the NAS sees 2 routers and won't complete setup. Will this method take care of that issue as well? The VPN is of secondary importance but would be nice if I could get everything up and going during this change out. Any suggestions are appreciated!

[@azaansiddique6791]

Hey John Thank you for making this video. I cannot find a single video on the internet taking about this kind of bridge setup. however im still confused I actually want my isp gateway (router and modem combo) to act as a modem and then connect a router to it and assign a static public ip to that router. basically all the routing would be carried out by that router. can anyone guide me and tell me what to do

[@carlburgin9362]

Did you ever get your answer? I'm looking to do something similar

[@cjc9719]

Exactly right. You are basically replacing the ISP gateway's router function with your own third party router; leaving the gateway to function as a modem only. To do so, you must put the ISP gateway/router into bridge mode. The method outlined in this video is one way to do this. You turn off the WI-FI function on the gateway, eliminating it as a wireless router and making sure it can only be connected to downstream devices through its LAN ethernet ports. Then, connect your 3rd party router into one of the gateway's LAN ports. Make sure that the router is the ONLY DEVICE connected to the gateway (by turning off the gateway's WI-FI and leaving all other LAN ports empty). Thus, the gateway's wireless and wired routing functions are bypassed, having only the single device (the router) to rout to. Then by telling the gateway to assign the public (static) IP's through its DHCP, your router will be the only device assigned a WAN IP which gives the router a direct internet connection and will not conflict with the LAN IP's it, in turn, assigns to all downstream devices. Your 3rd party router is now solely responsible for wireless and wired routing to, from. and among all other devices; after using its own DHCP to assign a LAN IP to each of them (as all other devices are connected to it, the router, NOT the gateway). The router will have it's own firewall and security features so the gateway's firewall should be turned off to avoid conflicts. I hope this helps and didn't just confuse you more. Good luck. It probably is not necessary, however it might be a good idea to set the gateway's DHCP Lease Time to infinite, in order to avoid the future possibility that the gateway might reassign the router's WAN IP to one of the other 5 you are leasing from the ISP. This would depend on the brand of gateway and would of course not be necessary if using the second option he mentioned regarding manually assigning the Router's WAN IP.

Hey got a question with AT&T's fixed wireless internet, your IP is constantly changing which makes your NAT type strict and does not allow you to play online games effectively at all.

Dont you or the ISP provider place the Static range in their modem? That's how I see them generally. I usually place the range in them - then one by one - inside each device I connect directly to the modem- I statically assign them then plug them into the modem to pull the one I assigned.

I've got 2 xbox one console's and 2 ps4 consoles. I'm from the UK is this method the only way of setting them all up properly?

[@JohnGlasscock]

The statip public address can definitely help with the problem of obtaining open nat on two consoles

[@l7nalmari189]

There’s away to connect fiber cable internet to xr500 directly without using two-in-one modem router combo?

[@JohnGlasscock]

Depends on your provider

Give me your thoughts have you noticed that now you log into the gateway of Xfinity they have a bridge mode at the click of a button

[@TheProphegy]

Sammack M - Apparently he’s saying that’s not a true bridge mode.

One coax going to verizon router which i am sure is coming from ont

No real way around it? Not true. Buy Cisco switch and router. You can build your own network and from there you can NAT (static, Dynamic, TCP port forward), make it a DHCP server, Qos traffic with policy maps and class maps and you can obtain a WAN IP from your isp but that’s just the minimum stuff you can do with Cisco products. You can buy a Access point in combination with your switches and routers - so your wireless devices can connect to the network also. Every device on the network will be translated into the WAN interface IP either by the pool command or interface command. With the pool command you can reserve a range of WAN addresses that your inside local address will be using . Don’t forget to make a static route pointing to the outside traffic and depending on how many Cisco routers you have, remember to use the dynamic routing protocols to help all your routers know routes

So this will dramatically increase my 1000mb fiber? I'm getting 200mbps on 5g wifi.
