Hey John, I just got atnt Fiber. I have the BGW210 that I was trying to passcode with my xr500. I did it, however my speeds get throttled big time and coming across a lot of lag spikes. I tried watching your videos, just got confused a bit. Any advice would be appreciated. Would you even recommend using xr500 or stick to regular BGW210 for competitive gaming. Thanks!
Does it really matter for gaming using ip4 we’re talking a max 3ms here. Less than the time it takes to press a key. att is like virgin media setup in the U.K. the whole point of using a 3 rd party router is for the extra services by switching into ap mode your still stuck with the crappy firewall setups the built in Oem cable modem come with, you fail to mention that the issue is more to do with dual Nat it’s the same if you add a 3rd party firewall in between your still looking at the same amount of latency in ms , I’m happy to wait a few extra ms if it stops bob clampett from connecting in
My ipv6 is working with my gateway in bridge mode. However on my tracert for ipv4 I get 8 hops and my ipv6 gets 4 when pinging google. Would losing the gateway and getting a dedicated modem help with this at all? Would it lower my hops?
@@timcarter5982 My ipv6 is not working with my ATT Bgw210 gateway in IP Passthrough / bridge mode with my NETGEAR Orbi mesh router. Any ideas on how you configured ipv6? Mine simply says “domain name not found” on every tracert -6 test.
Now I notice that at 4:20 of your video, you showed your interface to you router, but never showed how to set the so-called bridge mode on your gateway (in my case it will be the browser interface to my at&t arris bgw210-700 gateway). So how do you do that?
Good test. Thanks for the info. But, putting my 3rd party router in AP and relying on my ISP gateway for NAT and WAN firewall doesn't work for me security wise. Generally ISP gateways are just so-so in that regard, where-as 3rd party routers are much better.
If you change to AP mode, do you have to get rid of the DMZ+ and DHCP previous configuration for the so called "bridge mode"?
Hi John, thanks for all the videos.
I just got att fiber installed and have a bgw210 gateway. I also have an xr500 router. I'm unsure i've configured everything correctly. at the moment i have ip passthrough enabled -> dhcp lease set to 99 days -> disabled packet filtering and all firewall settings on the gateway. How would you set it up? i've seen some talk about bypassing the bgw210 by using a dumb switch.
After I switch to ap mode my router gets stuck in the wireless setup screen. I can’t get off of it
great video just what i was looking for. Question if you set the nighthawk in AP mode and then disable the wireless on ATT router. What will be the difference. I had the highthawk plugged directly into the att router but did not have it on AP mode which gave me double nat and also my plex server was not accessible. will this fix the issue?
I can never miss your videos man always detailed explanation
Liked before watching
I appreciate the support always
My response when I traceroute with ipv6 is “Destination net unreachable” does this still count as failing? Or does it have to say general failure?
That's what he means.
So i have fixed wireless and using a Netgear orbi. As a huge gamer, my console keeps popping up with double NAT. I read that putting the orbi in AP mode fixes it, but it only worked once and has reverted back to double nat even though my router still shows AP mode. I also keep getting "connected without internet" on my PC and my iPhone doesn't connect anymore either. Any help?
I just got xr700 router and I have Xfinity 1GB and running xb6 what should I do with the Xfinity modem/router xb6. I was using Xfinity's modem/router xb6.
So I have my PC hardwired to my router (R7000P) and 2-in-1 modem in bridge mode, and it will drop my connection every 2 hours on the dot for about 3-5 seconds. It disconnects me from my competitive games and it frustrates me that I cannot figure it out. I have tried putting it in DMZ mode, using a static IP, checked release timings (they are set at 24 or 48 hours), and lastly I’ve tried Dynamic QoS. Nothing has worked and I can’t figure it out. I’m to the end of my rope, I’ve tried just a general tracert and it seemed fine but I haven’t tried tracert the way you just did it. Do you think o configured my R7000P wrong?
My provider says i have bridge tap and my 1 and 2 wavey lines if that makes sense keeps going on and off i have frontier
Do you know how to use bridge mode (or something better) to set a Zytell C3000Z to work with the Eero 6. The newest update says it supports pppoe now in the newer update, but instructions still say to put the router/modem combo into bridge mode. The second I did that I lost all internet connection and I can’t even log back into the router/bridge to change the settings by a back!
My ipv6 is working with my gateway in bridge mode. However on my tracert for ipv4 I get 8 hops and my ipv6 gets 4 when pinging google. Would losing the gateway and getting a dedicated modem help with this at all? Would it lower my hops?
I have this router,but with at&t fixed wireless. There isn't an applications,pinhole and dmz tab. Could I just turn wifi off and change the ip address and hook my xr300 to it? Also, is it ok to use an unmanaged switch?
Yeah but I can’t use the geo filter or anything with it in Wireless AP mode. But my nat type is no longer strict. How am I supposed to use the special settings for the router for gaming now if it isn’t available
So if not bridge mode to another router, what would be the best solution to me living in the basement of my house and the internet router/modem being all the way up on the 3rd floor? The connection to my Ps4 is really slow, I can definitely tell there is a lag in connection. Assuming because the router/modem are so far away.
Nice. I watched last year when you got 2gb service. Has the att increased the speed or package to 3gb or 4gb? Or 2gb is highest tier they still got.
Hey I enabled bridge mode on my router and didnt change anything else. My ipv6 works, and tracert also only shows my router. Does that mean I am on true bridge mode?
I'm not sure if this was "fixed" or something else, but both v4 and v6 are working fine on my Linkysys WRT32X when connected to the RG by DMZ+. No issues with anything thus far and less blufferbloat right out of the box.
So you put the modem/router that connects to the internet into Bridge mode?
Hi my friend could u help me I have a xr500 router and I'm trying to connect to the router by ether net so I can set my vpn up and look at the settings and it won't let me it says it needs to be WiFi??? Please would u help as your the wizard and u have that router thanks hope your having a nice day
The xb6 gateway with gig speeds is capped at 650mbps in bridge mode due to firmware. If not in bridge mode it's fine. Anyone know a workaround?
I just purchased a Asus GT-AX11000 Gaming router and tomorrow am picking up a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 Modem, I have Xfinity as my internet provider do i need bridge mode to connect everything?
if you swap to your own modem you wont have to worry about bridging your router/modem combo because you wont be using it
So bridge mode is only if you have a second router ?
What an excellent video. Well explained
Hi John, I've been watching all your videos and they are extremely helpful! however, my ISP doesn't allow me advanced access to the router, it's very limited and I can't do anything on it. I've tried all the default settings to access the advanced mode on it with no success. Is there a way I can break into it and have full access to all modem's functionality?
Probably not and if there is you could probably get in trouble for doing that
@@JohnGlasscock ty! what kind of trouble could i get in?
@@mass627 the carrier gear firmware is designed to be managed remotely not through a local IP.
Carrier gateways are specially stripped down to basics to prevent support calls.
I did some speed testing and ended up configuring "double NATing" with a couple "Port Forwards" I need opened.
Testing showed my LAN Router runs faster behind the gateway than if exposed to all the Internet junk broadcast and port scanning. I leave that job to the carrier gateway.
With carrier gateway in "bridge mode" my Router becomes pounded from Internet and that slows down my 700Mb/s speedtest...
double NATing also keeps the cartier out of your VPN traffic and intranet data.
The problem exposed in the video has everything to do with bad IPV6 setup. I would try all the different IPv6 connection types in Netgear's router until you get what you want.
Hey, when switching to AP mode you said that I should turn the wireless for my isp gateway/router off. But can't I just use this to extend the range for my wifi given that the wifi credentials are same for both the routers?
I want to be able to access my netgear router. It's connected to a 2 in 1 Motorola modem. I can access the modem from my computer but not the router
I have been raging for the longest, this video has helped me a ton with my setup 😭🤣
Your videos are always detailed and clear! Really appreciate it. Question: what modem with telephone hookup do you suggest? I have Comcast and have not seen many options out there
If you're using comcast phone service your best bet is their gateway
John Glasscock I have their gateway and the xr500. I have their gateway in bridge mode. Was interested by the title of the video.
@@a1boston73 I haven't tested an xfinity gateway in bridge mode
Great video - I had been having problems with blocked port forwarding for gaming/server hosting. Switching to AP mode has completely fixed the problem and boosted my DL speed by almost 50%...
Is bridge modes and ip pass through on att fiber the same thing?
John i have the net gear nighthawk xr500 coming in tomorrow, I’m using it in combo with linksys velop mesh WiFi, if you know anything about velop, do you still think bridge mode would be bad to use for this?
If you set it up properly it should be fine
AkabartAllen did it work cuz im thinking of doing the same
My AT&T fiber WiFi is very inconsistent on my iPhone but it work fine on Ethernet flawlessly.
also in bridge mode, your ISP no longer sees the modem and they cannot push firmware updates to it.
this is not Bridge mode, you're still running NAT, you cant get Bridge mode with ATT. they wont let you. I have dealt with them before.
I went into bridge mode didn't work but mess my internet connection up then had to purchase a cheap labtop to get access to the modem made a mistake didn't download the USB adapter my so called company guided me through the steps I ended up buying a netgear 1200 and still lagging freezing real bad even on 30 fps I have a good gaming pc would I require it or is 1200 not a high enough one what is the recommended wireless router Best Buy talked me into this 100 dollar one of 1200 on the number and a 1200 USB wireless adapter made by Asus?
Should I be using 6? It's disabled on my modem, wasn't sure if it was important.
I think you are confused about how IPv6 routing works, at least on AT&T. With IPv4, you get one IP address, so DMZ+ mode works by transparently jumping to the upstream gateway. With IPv6, the RG is getting a subnet prefix and is allocated as an IPv6 router, and ends up as the default IPv6 gateway. If your non-AT&T router supports prefix delegation, it can get at least one /64 prefix. Unfortunately, the AT&T RG always gets one /64 IPv6 subnet prefix (and seems to take up /62 though). Also, the RG will only give out /64 prefixes, one per interface. The 2nd router should also support IPv6 router advertisement for it to work properly. All that said, I'm very unhappy with how AT&T has implemented IPv6 with their RG. I haven't found a config that allows use of the full /60 prefix delegation. Turning off IPv6 address allocation on the LAN interface of the RG seems to disable the ability to get a delegated prefix. Their RG always eats prefixes 0-7, and starts returning prefixes beginning with 8-f.
John, does ps4 pro give you higher upload mbs than a regular ps4 i have gigabit as well, i’m guessing this is obvious but just wondering....
No
If i add the mac address of my xr500 into the fiber modem dmz it give me open nat and what you think about this way , the fiber model connect directly to the internet and only the router mac address is in the modem dmz , so it allow the router to be open and nat open
We not use ipv6 here in my country only ipv4
The setup will work fine that way
Please show how you bridged with the xr500 or a general bridge tutorial I can’t find one:((
it is literally the same for every router
@@roblo6387 it’s literally not buddy
@@MatthewAndrew111 It is tho
I'm almost smacked my isp router with a hammer. Glad you saved me
How do I make my isp' s router just act like a modem or something so I won't have any double nat or anything then? I want to use a better 3rd party router so that I can have qos and everything.
Check the video description and watch my setup vid
So i was setting up my internet connection through my phone's web browser and my wifi has stopped working because it to bridge connection and i can not get back in to my ip through browser
I have no other router and my ethernet chord is shot
What do i do guys?
Wait I need help.. what setting should you enable on the xr500 to get faster connection?
nvm
Need to know the same but have a rx570
Hey mate
I recently got my new 5G modem and everything is good but my plex server no longer works from the outside network
Can I bridge a asus router with my 5G modem and will it work?
also, if you are running tracert cmd, always use the same url. don't use www on one and then not on the next run of it. you will get mixed results
Hello John!!! How about doing a setup video for the S8000???
I can try but there is not a lot to show cause the setup is so easy
I have a TPLINK Archer AX1500 router its in bridge mode IPTV/LAN i never heard of it o even have enabled MU-MINO on it my BEC 6300NEL RIDGEWAVE R15 LTE hasn't failed so far i had that modem 8 months.
My isp is Bravado Wireless Unlimited Internet but my isp is so picky what im doing. I needed to add wifi 6 to internet cause i can't login into my BEC 6300NEL RIDGEWAVE R15 LTE Modem
I got Xfinty and my main issue is the DHCP is always enabled on Xfinty modem even in bridge mode. I got a RX500 router
PacTheShmock yea that gets aggravating bro
should be fine. Xfi should only be providing dhcp to your rx500 if set up correctly.
If I were to buy a wireless router and connect my ps4 to the router rather than my internet modem, would I get the same upload and download speed and would the connection be the same?
It depends on the modem
Yep and the line which sends your internet thru
So could you bridge your 3rd party router to an isp gateway for qos features? I only game on ps4 and just noticed my speeds are only half of what my isp gives me. I actually get better internet without my netgear router overall which was a waste of money bro. Sorry I'm not technically inclined like you are
Late but yes, and that's the main reason I did it. I have less blufferboat out of the box also with a Linksys WRT32X as the second router, as well as much improved wifi signal/throughput (in one room over from the router, sometimes pages would noticably stall before loading in, but no more). Oh and I did not have the issue mentioned in this video... connecting the second router thru DMZ+, both IPv4 and IPv6 work fine.
I had no idea. No joke never knew it was a thing! Cool video learned something!💯🐷
Thanks for the support man
Nice vid, Good Sir.
Thanks!!!
Just got the CM1000 and XR500. It quadrupled my Down/Up thanks for the advice
Boom. Very nice 🤗
Hey John. Why not replace your gateway with a Arris NVG599? It’s a older model than the Pace but it has IP passthrough. I just did the trace test and both, IPv4 and IPv6, were successful. I used to have the Pace gateway and recently had it replaced due to the bugs. I’m also using the XR500. Thanks for all the good info!
Good to hear! I will look into it
John Glasscock btw, I assume you are doing Qos in your switch right? Don’t you lose many features of the XR500 by selecting AP mode?
@@dtekpr yup I only need QoS I don't use geo filter
Wouldn't you want your switch/router to be first in your path,so you could utilize the hardware firewall?
In reference to what? I'm confused
@@JohnGlasscock as opposed to the way you settled on,where your modem is first in line? Does that leave a security loophole?
@@DefWun no. And I have no choice but to have the modem as first in the link
Interesting video, but have a couple of problems with it ....
1) When I try to use my third-party router (A Linksys WRT-1900ac) in "DMZplus" mode of my Pace 5268ac gateway. No matter what I try, the trace route command for IPv4 still shows a double-NAT going first from the router's LAN IP to the gateway's, then finally to the public IP address.
2) While changing the 3rd-party router to "AP mode" as you say (i.e., place it in "Bridge Mode") gets rid of the double-NAT of course. The trace route command for IPv6 doesn't work in either situation.
As the response command prompt message always says "Unable to resolve target system name" followed by whatever URL I attempt to use for it.
So what am I doing wrong here?
Exact same problem!! Did you find a solution?
3:30 right that ISP dont handle Ipv6 but their routers are compatible, in order to put in passthrough, easest way is put in Ipv4 and allow them to do what they need, then proceed
I only have my at&t fiber modem/router arris bgw210-700 (aka gateway), and the command "tracert -6 google.com" failed with a message "Unable to resolve target system name google.com.". I would like just to add a better WiFi router, for the Arris BGW210-700 WiFi from AT&T sucks! In order to do that, I need a WiFi router recommendation together with a good simple step-by-step instruction to make it work with AT&T Arris gateway! Thank you for your video.
Is it why I have an Higher ping when I use bridge mode?
I used to use an old router to share internet from a usb wwan dongle using network bridge.
I would connect an Ethernet cable from it to the pc Ethernet socket, then bridge the Ethernet to the wwan on the pc.
I could then share the wwan via the router.
I use bridge mode its great! Its great for rural area.
what is bridge mode? Do you know a good website for all the terminology and basics of networking?
Just google it
What it does it will disable internet connectivity along with a WiFi
NAT will be get disable..too....
Only it will acts as a Pure modem to translate signals .....
So Whenever settings up a router behind it...you won't face Double NAT issue
I actually sit my router into bridge mode and it instantly kill my connection I tried to figure the problem but ended up calling my internet provider. Thankfully it's fixed now
Glad you got it fixed
What did they say plz help me out
how was it fixed pleaseeee help
@@gh6st645 if you have a previous save of your router settings before anything went wrong in it then you can load those settings, or if you know what settings you need in the router then you can factory reset and choose the right settings, otherwise you may need to call your ISP
@@gentle-j5028 thanks for replying man but im actually in college and after i bridged my connection the Ethernet port stopped working entirely. Don't know why but i got people coming to check it out. Thanks for trying to help
well...in my setup , I tried the -4 it was ok ( with one exception, see below), but failed with -6 ...so I am here to get help.
The reason I am using bridge mode is the fact the 3rd party router that I use has NO vdsl input(modem).
so the ISP modem/router has x.x.x.254, and the 3rd party router x.x.x.1 And of course the ISP modem/router is in bridge mode !!!
The exception to your video, I am supposed to get the ip of the router/modem ...254 , but I did not !!!!
breaks internet connection, yet im still on a internet connection wirelessly. :/
At 3 min is the first way to do an ip config, or just let it get a dhcp address and do an ip passthrough and let the gateway give you an IP
How do I know if I have a true bridged connection? I have a Netgear modem no Wifi connected to my xr700 router. How do i test this?
Did you watch the video? I showed how to do it
My situation ain’t the same as yours. I don’t have a two in one gateway. I have a stand alone modem and a gaming router. It’s a difference.i have the netgear cable modem and the xr700. i forgot to mention i have the router in AP mode
I has ass internet how do I fix and I have double nay and it says that’s a problem
I accidentally turned bridge mode on and my wifi isn't working is there anything you can do
BulletPro me too
Connect to the router using an ethernet cable and turn it off.
... or just reset your router's settings, if you dont know any other way. There is a certain button for this.

I did the route trace and my ping is terrible
I bought the SB8200 because it had 2 ethernet ports and was gigabit capable.
Big mistake.
I used that site, whatsmyip/pingtest to see what my jitter/variation looked like and was jumpy as could be. +1 +5 +10 and everything in between. But that's not the worse part. I was doing the test and my wife began to start a YT video and the ping shot up to 150 and like 183. She turned off the video and I tested it a few more times and it happened again. I was like there's no way. The router is plugged into the 2nd port with all devices behind the router except the Ps4 and the console into port 1 by itself. Im not sure how having a switch built in would cause all this jitter and spikes but I kind you not, I switched back to the Sb6183 and the average variant was like .9 and everything looked amazing. More importantly, the spikes went away.
Also, every time I tinker with router settings, the gameplay seems to get worse. I see youtubers out there with moderate nat types tearing it up. So what I do is factory reset the router, and let her go. Jitter, hit detection, inconsistent gameplay all seem to disappear. But the minute I start using qos or port forwarding, the game breaks. I've used the netduma and have seen dumaos. I'm not a fan of how it makes the experience inconsistent. I would be in favor of buying another rout that's not netgear or the model right before they implemented duma os on their devices. I think less is really more but that's my humble opinion. I just want a router with some power and that's all really. The host filtering and "Patented qos" just seem to mess up the gameplay. I will swear my router is dropping packets but I check the ping to the host and it all looks normal. It's weird because it feels like it's like super small micro stutters or something. Idk. I haven't had a good experience with netduma and their OS.

So how do i turn off bridge mode???
You may need to factory reset your gateway. There's usually a small "Reset" button on the back/bottom that you push (use a pen or paper clip) for about 10-30 seconds. This will erase everything from the gateway and get you backup and running.
You can also reverse engineer his previous video @ th-cam.com/video/3Q0Q2alkzcY/w-d-xo.html
A traceroute the ISP he talking about ends on the 5th hop as long as it comes back they aren not responsible, when a hop fails it does not mean that servers IP failed if it comes back

So what's the purpose of using a bridge mode?Someone enlighten me please
Bridge mode basically turns your all-in-one gateway into a modem. You then add a dedicated router to provide the firewall, wireless access, etc. Most gateways are not as good as as a dedicated wifi router + bridges modem combo.

I replaced my outdated Netgear router with Panoramic from Cox Communications. Even tho my Netgear router was outdated (2014 i think) it was putting up a solid 200mbps and now the new router is supposed to have speeds up to 1000mbps but i get nat type failed and the wifi doesnt work, or i can get a inconsistent connection with no ethernet connection. Im lost because im inable to get into the router settings because of the inconsistent connection. I was on the phone with my ISP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out and if i bring it back i have to buy a new one.

You can bypass the entire modem itself and run straight from ONT to personal Router. Don’t want to disclose it on here but look into buying a switch and searching google. Once you do the “swap” you can unplug the AT&T modem all together.
Clone the MAC address of the ISP RG with your router. Ont>switch & ISP RG>Switch & Store bought router>switch...Once you get ipv4 on router you can unplug RG from ISP on switch.
That is called the dumb switch method. I mentioned my thoughts on it in the video

@@vije2515 your question is very unclear. If you are asking if you can unlock the isp modem with a 3rd party firmware, the answer is yes, sometimes.
The issue is with AT&T U-Verse, you can't use any modem other than the one they give to you specifically.
