Spoke with reward rep and upon checking my second $100 reward pre-paid card, she told me it's been already processed and it's scheduled to go out before 30th of June.
So I guess there is nothing you need to do in order to receive unlike first one, at least it was for me.
Hope it helps
Thanks, hopefully no hoops to jump through

Wait, you wouldn't need to use the gateway? Would I be able to connect my router directly to the ONT and avoid having to do the IP pass-through?
I did some light research on this as I was hoping to take the AT&T gateway out of the picture completely.
I am FAR from an expert regarding this, but my understanding is some sort of authentication is done on the gateway so it needs to be connected but you can configure passthrough so as to use it minimally.
However, I've read that if you know what you are doing technically you can configure that authentication to occur on certain devices and then disconnect the RG.

I believe that is correct, I was told by the ATT tech that i need the gateway. I have it set to passthrough, but i still only getting 200 to 300 via Ethernet.

Interestingly, my google wifi is telling me that I'm getting 600 plus when i perform the internet speed test on the google wifi app.

In light of the legislation referenced in this article going into effect yesterday (6/20/2020) are we able to call into AT&T and have the $10/month equipment fee waived?

From the gateway's admin page speed test, 900/900+.
Hard wired to PC ethernet: 700/700
Hard wired to laptop with ethernet to USB dongle: 300/450
Wifi 5Ghz - 250/280
Wifi 2.4Ghz - 100/120

I found that the USB dongle, despite being rated for 1 gigabit connection, does not run that fast, so might be more of a hardware limitation.

How is your google wifi connected? I would say if you aren't getting speeds that you are hoping for, then it is an issue with anything downstream like your router, cables, switch, etc.

My Google wifi is hardwired to the gateway. I'm getting about 600 when I test it from the google wifi app. But I remove the google wifi and direct wire to my laptop. I'm only getting 200. It does not at up. On my wifi connect I will get up to 200 sometime

I read that article a while back, and I don't think that applies to AT&T/or they are able to bypass that law. AT&T does provide the equipment to you therefore the $10 a month charge is valid and it is required to make there internet work though I've read of some on here bypassing the RG completely.

I wish it did applied to AT&T as I hate paying that $10 a month fee.

It sounds like it is not a fiber problem but something to do with your setup, wifi, Ethernet adapter or cable. If the Google WiFi is showing 600, the rest of your set up should be getting close to 600 if the wifi and laptop Ethernet is working properly

Since my google wifi and my ethernet connection are the same, I should be getting the same speed.

Had that issue, ended up calling regular CS and they spoke to reward center. I had to tell them the coupon code, and officially they put it in the system.
That said, still waiting for it to actually arrive.
