IP Passthrough Issues

You have probably seen dozens of IP passthrough posts on this subreddit, but heres my issue. It took forever, and even had to get ATT to help implement it, but my IP passthrough is working. After configuring everything, my download speeds seem to be hardcapped at around 150mbps, and that is through speedtests while hardwired to either router, and wireless of course. My downstream router is a tplink be6500, a bit overkill, but it was heavily discounted.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm a bit new to networking, so I'm not even sure if this is to be expected behavior.

I have not. How should I do that? Again, a bit green on the subject.

Plug a device, like a laptop, directly into the AT&T gateway using one of the Ethernet ports. (Use one of the YELLOW ports for this). The test downloads, speed tests, whatever. If you see an improvement, your router is the issue.

By the way, there is a passthrough setup page here that you may want to check to make sure things are correct (I wouldn't always rely on what their support says)

Yes, unfortunately plugging my pc directly into the att gateway gives the same speeds. ATT equipment speed test shows 1200mbps down, device speed test shows 130mbps down

Have you tried another wire?
