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.

Includes unlimited internet data$59.99
$20 off for 12 months with bundle-$20.00

Can you use a second Wifi router (Access point) connected via e-net cable to the the AT&T Gateway-modem/router? I have to get coverage in the far area of my house.
Yes, perform IP passthrough to the RG AND keep your own router as is.

Good deal if you have another att service you can bundle with. I just ordered mine and bundled with my wireless plan.

Yes - I disabled the wifi on the gateway and use a second router upstairs. You will have separate subnets, e.g. my wifi is 192.168.1.X while anything hooked up via ethernet to the AT&T gateway is 192.168.0.X. Double NAT is not ideal, but it seems to work fine for the most part.

Thanks. Just curious, why did you disable the wifi on the gateway?

I have a network wiring closet in the basement, which is where I chose to have the ATT gateway wired to. I also had a special spot dead smack in the middle of the house where in the building phase I had id'd as a good spot for a wifi AP, so no use for the ATT wifi.

Right now my wifi AP is serving about 7k sq/ft across 3 floors just fine on 2.4 ghz. On 5 ghz, it drops a bit, but I do have some Ubiquiti in room WAPs that I may augment that with. Honestly, since I went with majority Ethernet other than mobile devices, Internet has worked really well.

Spoke to Customer Care and asked them to downgrade to 300 Mbps. Within half hour was able to go online and upgrade account back to 1Gbps for $49.99 and no equipment fee for 12-months. Hoping bill to get sorted out next cycle as this month already generated with old pricing. If all goes well, this is $30 savings / month.

You can bypass the modem's router function, disable the wifi, and use your own router from there

I am happy with Spectrum, except having to pay $70/mo. Is it still possible to call Spectrum and tell them I'm about to switch to AT&T and retentions may drop the rate, or are those days over?
Just called and cancelled my service with Spectrum and they didn't even bother to send me to retention, just processed the cancellation right away without any effort. Been a customer since 2010. The CS guy obviously asked why I was canceling and I told him, that AT&T was giving me their Fiber 1000 service for less than what I pay Spectrum for way slower speed. He said he understood and just processed the cancellation.

If you can get faster speeds at a better price, probably shouldn't bother staying with Spectrum even if you're happy with them. You staying with them is just going to make them not bother to do better.

Are you currently on 1G speeds? If so, try downgrading to 300Mbps and then upgrade back to 1Gbps on this promo plan.

The wifi for the AT&T modem/router is slow and not stable. I finally get a TPlink wifi 6 router and the wifi speed improves a lot. (Getting 500 for download and 400 for upload). I didn't disable the wifi function at the AT&T router.

you can use passthrough mode on the gateway and use your own router. using your mesh as an AP isn't as optimal. i have mine setup in passthrough mode, but i also left the gateway router functionality on so that I could have 2 different IP subnets. I'm not an expert by any means but i figured setting it up like this would would make my other devices a little more secure - though i'm sure someone that knows what they're doing can figure out how to get past it.

There are multiple threads on various forums regarding 3 different ways of almost entirely "bypassing" AT&T's RG. Google
1. "Dumb switch bypass"
2. "AT&T Proxy" or "AT&T truebridge mode USG"
3. "AT&T wpa_supplicant"

Definitely annoying, but I haven't delved into any of these yet because of my SLA with the bosses at home.

About to get AT&T fiber 1000 installed this week, why do they make using your own Wifi router so damn difficult? For $10 bucks a month, makes no sense, they could just say the $10 fee is for the ONT. What am I missing?

I believe the thinking is that it allows them to more easily monitor your network traffic and data mine.
