So I looked at my configuration again and I did not have port isolation between the different VLANs. Could this be the problem? I am thinking ports 3-5 might be "multicasting" into the WAN port, which I think is a no-no. I am going to isolate them and see how it goes...

OK. Thanks for your input. It's good that I am not using the 2.5G port for WAN, then so I made the right choice. I can attest that aggregation via WAN/LAN4 works very well. Regards, Jose

I wasn't aware of any quirks. Can you elaborate? The router was rock solid with my cable modem. My setup only started having trouble when the BGW was introduced... And the router seems fine. It's the BGW that seems to crap out. Regards, Jose

I just double checked. The BGW does not have DMZ...you have to use IP Passthrough or DHCP and open a bunch of ports and deal with double NAT... yuck.

Yes I understand that any one client would only see 1Gb... 2 clients would both see 1Gb, thus increasing the overall "effective" speed of the network to 2Gb that can the service can provide. I've seen the "double the lanes in the highway" analogy a few times. Overall it makes the network less...

1) There is no ONT on the wall. As I said, there is a "fiber port" at the wall. Is this what you are calling double terminated? The tech just replaced the BGW and not the fiber cable. I asked him multiple times about this and he swears the fiber cable from the wall to the BGW was good. 2) I...

To address this point... As I stated in my post, I am getting ready to transition to "faster speeds", hopefully at something around 2G. Getting to 5G means I have to replace my router as well as the WiFi extenders (which I plan to replace in the future). The switch has 6 ports, 5 are 2.5G...

1) I think the fiber is terminated directly on the BGW320-500. How can I tell? There is a cable running to my office wall to a what I guess is a "fiber port" and then fiber to the modem. Is there a way for me to check? Maybe between the wall of my office and the modem? Should it be terminated at...

Hi everyone. I hope someone can help with this issue. AT&T technical support seems stumped. I currently have the following network hook-up: On the Cable Modem: Fiber -> BGW320-500 (5G ethernet) -> SL-SWTG215AS (port 6, 10G max) On the Switch: Port 1: 1 of 2 link aggregation (5G...
