Thanks, I guess TP-Link, but see, I don't use the built-in Wi-Fi, on their modem any way. I currently use their modem which is trash, and my Archer AX11000 for Wi-Fi, plus three of the RE-505X extenders, along with an RE580D. What I want to do, is take the RE580D out of the equation, move the AX11000 to where the RE580D was, because I need the ports for wired devices, then use the AXE16000 as both modem and router, leave the rest in tact for my OneMesh network. AT&T will never tell a consumer if you can bypass their modem or not. As the manufacturer, this should be an inquiry that you make or research, so you have a real answer, instead of a guess. I would be very grateful for that. I mean I'm using all of your hardware, and as far as they're concerned, I'm paying for the access to their providing of service, not their hardware. I have as much turned off and bypassed as possible on their modem, and use a multi-hop VPN, because it's none of their business what I do with the connection I pay them for. I mean, a wire comes down from a pole to my house (not sure if the entire run is fiber, but I'd guess no, due to its brittle nature), to a box, then from there, I gather the fiber runs up to a recepticle on my wall, and the end goes into an SFP+ port on the modem. From wall recepticle to either A their junk modem, or B, your router, what difference does it make? Please explain that as well, so it can be narrowed down. Thanks again and I look forward to the next reply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Technically, yes but it depends on ATT's network requirements.
