Famously tasty.
I read the last few pages and the OP and didn't see anything on this, but I'm sure it's been asked before so apologies:

What the gently caress do I do about the horseshit ATT fios router with no bridge mode that is required for the service? What's the optimal solution for minimum headache that will let me continue to use my Plex and Subsonic server computer wired to something with good coverage in my home?

I managed to brick an Edgerouter X somehow trying to set up the bypass outlined here , and I'm hesitant to buy another Edgerouter X and try again, but I could do this... I've never bricked a device before and I assume it's bad luck... Maybe.

What's recommended here? The ATT provided modem router combo is the BGW-210 if it matters. My house is a long-ish ranch style house and the ONT comes into the house at one end furthest from the bedrooms. Is there a brain-dead dumb mesh network solution using IP passthrough or a DMZ that will allow me to keep my server assigned to a static IP and port forward for Plex and Subsonic? Or do I need to get technical and use Ubiquiti products and do the whole modem bypass thing?

withoutclass posted:

I have the BGW, I just run it in pass through mode and it works fine.

If I'm going to do this, I should just buy another Edgerouter X and perhaps another AP? Not sure what has changed with the product line in the last few years.
