Dealing with the same thing with AT&T fiber. There was word of a hack involving putting your router behind a switch with the AT&T router after cloning the MAC, then booting them both up and letting your router pick up the DHCP responses along with the AT&T router. Once the AT&T router had done its proprietary handshake, you could disconnect the AT&T router.

Unfortunately I had no luck with that - my loose theory is that my EdgeRouter was doing a ping check to see if the IP was already taken before accepting the DHCP lease...

I was able to get "IP passthrough" mode working with the AT&T router though. The key hiccup was that the AT&T router had to be on a different subnet than my router's LAN subnet.



I just moved to SF and got AT&T gigabit fiber in mid-February. I followed this guide and got it working at gigabit speeds (eventually): https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/cjw9jt/howto_bypa...

It's been working great since I set it up; highly recommended!

Hardware offloading needs to be enabled and QoS disabled for gigabit speeds (~900Mbps both ways, simultaneous ~500Mbps both ways).

If you send me an email (hn-202003@jonpurdy.com), I can send you my exact configs.
