How To Bypass AT&T Fiber BGW320 w/ WAS-110 SFP+

Too much talking and waffle - Has anyone got a bullet point guide to doing this?

FINALLY! Not all heroes wear capes. Can't wait to get this going.

I have been doing this bypass for a while. Rock solid.

the only way you used to be able to do passthrough was to acquire a certificate from a donor modem and create a wpa_supplicant file then feed it to podman which can run on a unifi dream machine pro. certs were issued for 5 years so you'd have to repeat the process when the cert expires since that's how they identify their devices (at least did at one point) so you essentially would just spoof a modem.

WOW.. I have been keeping an eye for this for ATT... other providers have been bypassed... I'm so on this with my PFsense

Love this!! I’ve been waiting for a YT vid on how to do this and now I know how to do it with my Frontier FiOS!!

You're my hero. Ive spent over 40 hours on the phone with ATT and 5 damn 320-500s in a year. Cant wait to do this.

Been doing that for the last 5+ years here in Denmark 👍

Interesting stuff Travis. Thanks for sharing.

Didnt know I needed this, yet here I am. Thanks for the lead... Now if theyd do another group buy, and I could just find a couple grand laying around to upgrade my switches to multigig...

AT&T will also sometimes push out changes that will take the gateway out of passthrough mode. Took me ages to figure out what was wrong. Their network support guys are hilarious. They don’t know anything about networking strangely enough.

Thanks, been looking for this

Did this a few months ago. First time in my life I’m finally free of telco junk

Thank you for this!

Thanks for the information appreciate all your effort

Great vid walkthrough, you're a prince among men. My last house(which was a rental) had AT&T with the GPON + ONT, and I ended up doing a bypass through WPA Supplicant and extracting my cert files from the old gateway(shoutout to DSLReports folks for their work on that method). Been stuck with Comcast at my new(owned) house, but finally AT&T is coming out to us(after 4 years of living here). I was a little concerned about not being able to do a bypass with the new combined ONT/Gateway. I'm elated someone found an SFP+ bypass. Now I know what to get to prepare for the fiber rollout. Best wishes from a Texan.

Excellent review. I did similar to remove an Alcatel i-240G-R. They put the MAC on the back label - so it was trivial to copy it.

Thank you!!!! You give me hope in a world of ONT lockdowns. Although I realize what I'm trying to do won't have a "paint by numbers" solution, I'm going to try and get one of these working with Telmex Fiber in Mexico. If anyone here happens to be from Mexico and has already done some work on this, please contact me.

Power savings is another reason to bypass

ONTs on-a-stick are pretty great.
