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.

I originally was on a deal for 1gig, $100 - $30 promo for 12 months (ending in May).
I'm in the same boat, paying ~95 after taxes. Is there any apparent downside to this? I'm just worried there's some fine print somewhere that says they can jack up prices or add fees later on.

I'll probably just do it tonight. Kids will freak for one evening hahahaha

Dad, where's my 900mbps?!

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. 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
I have the same t mobile router and att gateway. I could get both up and down 900Mbps by just disable the Smart QoS function in the Asus router.

i did that too and it didnt make a difference. are you using the att gateway in passthrough mode? or are you using the tmobile router as just an AP? did you happen to flash the tmobile router to merlin or are you using the original tmobile router software?

Thanks! I had the same offer in the SF Bay Area. Upgraded from 300Mbps to 1Gbps for the same cost.
I am currently in contract and the contract ends in June. Can I upgrade to 1000 mbps without getting penalized?

today, I was able to switch to 1000 MBPS plan using Internet link posted ! Thanks !
I did not call any phone number, used URL, login to my account -verified , added new 1000gbps service in cart (modify existing plan) and placed order. within next 10 min. Done. Checked speed on my home Modem - it is 960 mbps ! (no reboot required)
background - I am new customer, last week - I switched from Spectrum to ATT 300 MPBPs plan (12 mo promotion price - $50 /mo) . It is good to get upgrade in a week for almost same price ! Also no cap of 1 TB data usage with this 1000gbps plan. Already loving AT&T internet service !
Thanks for sharing the deal.
I was able to follow same steps. However, will this interfere with your current bill? Like do you have to pay extra if your bill starts mid-month. Or how does the bill work out? Do they charge $50 immediately? Or they will bill you at the end, etc? I'm a little bit confuse.

I guess I'll try my luck here with iphone internet issue. Anyone experience super slow internet on their iphone? I searched and people said dont use ATT router and to use other brand. Is there any other fix to that or buying a new modem is the only solution?

I think the only downside is that when you renew there isn't another level to go up to so you'll have to pay for the regular 1GB speed price or end up paying more for less bandwidth by downgrading. I pulled the trigger on the $40 service since I have At&t Fiber service already where I am (East Bay), if there isn't a better deal when I renew then I'll just have to jump to Xfiniti. I can live with that.

AT&T sucks monkey balls. They just ripped me off of $3.33. They are so penny pinching. Since my billing ends on March 24th, but my 12 months agreement ends on March 14th ($10 off for 12 months (Expires Mar 15, 2020)). I called told them that their system sucks. But they got the last laugh. Just plain stupid. Makes me think twice if I want to continue with their internet service and if they deserve my money. Even if I ended my internet service on the 14th I still lose out on the $3.33. It's a matter of principal now. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I read on previous page that someone downgrade their service for 1 day and then the offer to upgrade is available. So you can downgrade to the 100mb for a day then get back to the old price.

Anyone got experience with extending the deals? Like xfinity you can always extend another year with the same service.

I went to chat and mentioned I heard had new internet planned pricing. The chat rep said they could move my pricing to the new pricing of 1000 I was pay 70 for it before to 40. Took a little work since I was bundled and contracted but they surely did it!
