Deal Details
It looks like AT&T may be starting a new promotion for the start of the month. I just went to my account to see what is offered since my 100mbps fiber plan is about up. Only 100mbps($45/mo) and 1000mbps($39.99/mo) is offered, no 300mbps is offered, but it was available a day ago for $40, and I saw an ad for it on TV today. If you have AT&T internet, check the plans offered in your account dashboard. There is no mention of equipment charges, but this is for a bundle. Southern states.

No go in middle TN. My 2 year contract is up in 30 days. They actually told me I have to wait until it expires and call again and *hope* they can offer me a new promotional code. It makes no sense as I have Comcast as well. Looks like I will have to actually change companies now in order to get a better rate than I am faced with.... pretty dumb policy if you ask me.

Don't be in a rush and leave *before* your promotion expires. Let the promotion run out and call again. The agents' system won't let them give you promotions until your current one is up. Nothing they can do.

$10 equipment fee is only if you're not a current customers. Most current customers are not paying fee, and will not start paying a fee if they switch to this plan.

You won't be able to use your own "modem" because AT&T won't provision it on your account. Each modem has a built-in cryptographic certificate, and will not connect if not provisioned on AT&T side.
This isn't true. Existing customers may be able to avoid it but it's ymmv.

Doesn't seem YMMV for existing customers upgrading internet-only service online. I've yet to see a report from someone who didn't have an equipment fee and does now.

I already rebooted my modem twice after signing up. Then I logged into the website and used the reboot feature from there too. Nothing worked.
Just called ATT again and they said they were going to send me a new modem with a new update software. The modem I have is from 2018 and is not good for 1000Mbps plan. I will get it by this Thursday. I think you should call ATT and check. Hope this helps!

It's been noted that the new plan does not have a contract. The only term-limited thing is the discount which will expire in 12 months. People have mentioned that you can switch from a contract plan to this one and cancel and avoid a termination fee.

Do you know which modem do you have? I am in the same boat. I have an at&t bgw210 -700 modem. No speed change after upgrade.

I was not able to get the $39.99 price as a new customer, only the $49.99 + $10 equipment fee, basically their current promo with the $100 Visa gift card. The gift card offsets the $99 installation fee. Would have been better if I didn't have to do the equipment fee but as a new customer, doesn't look like I have a choice on that. Deal is still better than what I have now with Spectrum so I went for it.
So do you have to have other Att service like Tv to get the $100 gc?

My modem model is 5268AC. The ATT rep told me that the one that im going to receive has the same model but this new one will have the latest update software in it. Everything is free of charge. Just need to return the old modem within 21 days after receiving the new one

FYI, for those who have the t-mobile asus router I noticed I wasn't getting anywhere close to 1Gbps. I believe it has to do with hardware limitations which throttles the speed - not sure if it's due to the AT&T passthrough WAN or the asus hardware. I setup the AT&T gateway in passthrough mode so I could use the AT&T gateway (I have the BGW210-700) for all my other wired devices, and then the asus router for wireless. Here's a pretty good rundown I found online for those that are using hardwired ethernet devices that would like to get gigabit speeds while still being able to use their T-Mobile router for wireless:


How do I setup bridge mode in the Motorola NVG589?
Important Note: If you use AT&T uVerse Voice (VoIP) service it is not recommended to put your NVG589/599 Remote Gateway into IP Passthrough mode. IP Passthrough mode has been shown to conflict with uVerse Voice service in which incoming calls may not connect properly resulting in callers hearing an error message. If you use AT&T uVerse Voice Service you are pretty much condemned to use this device to power your home network.

Bridge mode, DMZ+, or IP Passthrough are the features that permit you to run your own router behind the AT&T provided residential gateway with a public IP address on its outside WAN interface. The NVG589 supports the IP Passthrough feature to accomplish this.

To be technically accurate, the NVG589 does not actually "bridge" the traffic. It will enable a default rule to forward all unknown inbound traffic to the AT&T public IP address to the MAC address of the internal router. This will preserve the public destination IP address on incoming packets and allow you to control inbound access for services and security from your personal router.

The NVG589 will still map session state information for each connection passing through, similar to a traditional NAT configuration. The only thing it will do with this traffic is rewrite the destination MAC address to that of your personal router's WAN interface. The NVG589 includes more memory and can support 8192 simultaneous connection entries, as compared to previous gateways that were limited to a maximum of 1024.

Make sure you have a notebook or a computer that you can directly connect to the NVG589. Once you have that, unplug all Ethernet cables (including television STBs) from the NVG589 except for the previously mentioned notebook/computer. Note: the WAN connection from AT&T is not an Ethernet connection.

Second, write down the WAN-side MAC Address of your personal router.

Configuration steps to perform on the NVG589:
Note: 192.168.10.1-254 address block is a suggestion in this series of steps. Feel free to adjust this as you wish.

1. Login to the NVG589's web-based configuration interface in your web browser.
This can usually be accessed with the following link: https://192.168.1.254

2. Go to the "Home Network" -> "Subnets & DHCP" tab. It may ask for your NVG589's password.

3. If your "Device IPv4 Address" is in the same subnet as your personal router's LAN segment, you should change your personal router's network configuration to use a different subnet like 192.168.10.0 or whatever you wish, as long as it continues to use private address space in the 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, or 172.16.0.0/12. The subnet mask can stay the same, 255.255.255.0, or can be adjusted to a larger range if you want.

4. Leave the default DHCP settings on the NVG589 as is, unless you want to expand the usable range. This will permit your Television Set Top Boxes to connect and any other devices that you may want to use the integrated wireless or wire directly to the RG. The Television STBs can not connect to your personal router, unless your router has the capability to provide Multicast Routing using IGMPv3. Most consumer routers do not have this capability.

It is important that you have only your computer that's configuring the NVG589 connected to it at this time.

5. If you have made any changes, at this point, Click "Save" at the bottom.

6. Go to the "Home Network" -> "Wireless" tab.

7. If you do not want to use the NVG589's integrated wireless feature, disable Wireless by choosing "Off" in the "Wireless Operation" option.

8. Go to the "Firewall" -> "Packet Filter" tab. Click on the "Disable Packet Filters" button.

9. Go to the "Firewall" -> "NAT/Gaming" tab and disable any and all settings.

10. Go to the "Firewall" -> "IP Passthrough" tab. Select "Passthrough" in the "Allocation Mode" option.

11. Do not enter anything for the "Default Server Internal Address". Leave this field blank.

12. In the "Passthrough Mode" selection choose "DHCPS-Fixed".

13. Type in the WAN-side MAC Address for your router under "Manual Entry", lowercase is fine. The MAC address should be in the traditional hexadecimal format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where the x's should be values from 0-9 or letters a-f, separated with single colons. If you have already connected the WAN interface of your personal router and configured it for DHCP, it may show up in the "Choose from list". If you select it, it will automatically fill the field with appropriate MAC address.

14. The Passthrough DHCP Lease value defaults to 10 minutes. You can not change this.

15. Click "Save" at the bottom. It will tell you that it needs to reboot. Stop! Do not reboot the router, yet.

16. If you are not putting any devices on the network segment directly attached to the AT&T gateway and do not want any of the Firewall security features active on the NVG589, go to the "Firewall Advanced" tab at the top and turn everything off. The recommendation is to leave these features enabled if you will have any devices on this segment or are using the integrated wireless feature. If you disable these features, make sure you are enabling this functionality on your personal router.

17. Near the top of your screen, you should see an option telling you to reboot the router. Go ahead and do this now. It takes about 2 minutes.


Configuration steps for your personal router:

1. Disconnect your laptop's ethernet connection from the NVG589 and connect your personal router, while the NVG589 reboots.

2. Connect your laptop to your personal router.

3. Login to your personal router and change the Internet connection type to DHCP as per your router's instructions.

You should be done configuring the IP Passthrough "bridge mode", at this point. Verify that your personal router is being assigned the public IP address from
