I will be an AT&T Fiber customer in approximately 1 month. I have my own router with an SFP port, do I need the BGW320 or other AT&T equipment?

Thanks!

AT&T Internet requires the use of AT&T leased equipment.

AT&T requires use of their proprietary Gateway (modem/router combo). It is not owned, so you pay monthly for it always.

An additional router can be used in a passthrough setup. AT&T's Gateway will still provide the modem part and you don't get out of the monthly fee.

They have to call to see if there is any cost to provide the equipment. But they certainly will pay monthly for it like everyone else.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Things didn't go as expected the first time around, so revisiting this.

@dave006 I will have an Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE to do all the routing.

@Juniper I will check into the passthrough mode.

Can someone give me step by step direction for this passthough mode or link me to a video explaining how to do this?

Thanks.

THIS is the best tutorial I've seen...clear, simple and good screencaps.
