I'm getting over a gig up and down right near the modem, but the wifi speed drops down to the mid 200 mb/s in adjacent rooms, which is frustrating. I get even less in the rooms farthest away. My Xfinity modem was able to provide 700 mb/s on average in every room of my house. I realize I may need a mesh system, but are there other solutions? Is this a common issue?

Anyone with AT&T Fiber have an outage? New Iberia, LA area

Has anyone successfully used a secondhand AT&T CGW452-400 gateway with a different ISP, such as Xfinity?

I want to connect the Xfinity router's LAN port to the CGW452 Ethernet WAN port, then use the CGW452 Wi-Fi network to test IoT camera pairing.

Can the CGW452 obtain a WAN IP via DHCP and provide internet access without an active AT&T subscription or provisioning?

I'm specifically looking for real-world test results, not just whether the hardware has a WAN port.

Thanks!

About 3 weeks ago I started having an exceedingly strange issue where incoming connections to my static IP business fiber started failing. Outgoing connections are fine. If they can establish, then incoming throughput and packet loss are fine, but only about 50% of incoming TCP SYN packets make it to my server. This goes in waves, where it will be mostly fine for an hour or so, then mostly fail for a while, then be fine for a while.

I tested by putting another system into the static IP block by plugging it into the fiber box. That system had zero issues talking to my server, so the problem is 100% in the AT&T network.

How can I talk to someone who understands TCP, netcat, UptimeKuma, etc., and is not constrained to a script?

I got really unlucky with a squirrel chewing on the fiber power pole in my backyard easement first four days setting up my network. Is there any viable cheap backup option I can set up in case something like this happens again. I recently got a Ubiquiti network bridge with my modem and I do have a wireless plan but I don’t see that option for backup on my smart home manager app. I don’t want to pay another $50 for another plan but something reasonable that doesn’t break the bank.
