Next I went to "Firewall" -> "Packet Filter" in the modem settings and disabled all packet filter rules. Next I went to "Firewall" -> "Firewall Advanced" in the modem settings and disabled or enabled the firewall features I wanted the modem to handle. After you save the above settings, you will probably have to power cycle the modem and the Alien to get the new IP assignments and passthrough. Passthrough DHCP Lease I set this to 10 minutesĭoing the above basically puts the modem into bridge mode where it will always pass the WAN IP address to the Alien router.

Passthrough fixed MAC address is set to the Alien router in the dropdown list, or you can manually input the Alien routers MAC address Passthrough Mode is set to "DHCPS-fixed" Default Server Internal Address does not need to be set, so leave this blank Allocation Mode is set to "Passthrough" There's 5 settings on the IP Passthrough settings page. Once I accessed the settings site/page, I went to "Firewall" -> "IP Passthrough" If you can't find this on the modem itself, Google the modem model and try to find the access info that way.

It should also include the access code or default login creds. The IP address to access this should be on a sticker on the modem somewhere. Sign into the modem advanced configuration page. This essentially puts the modem/router into bridge mode. Essentially you have to enable IP Passthrough from the modem to your Alien. It has been a while since I set this up, so I had to go look around to see exactly what I did. Even so, they all should have a very similar, if not the same, backend settings for AT&T. I'm assuming they've changed the modems/routers they're using because mine is the Arris BGW-210, not Pace. I got my AT&T fiber installed back when it was first available in my neighborhood, which was back in 2016/2017.
