You're considering switching to a different modem/router setup due to AT&T's restrictions. You're weighing whether to use their device directly or try a workaround like a bridge mode or an Ubiquity router. The network layout is provided for reference.

Consider U-verse options: fiber to the node then copper to your home, or direct fiber straight to your house. I think U-verse reaches about 400Mb down and 25Mb up. Direct fiber offers gigabit speeds. If you go with fiber to your house, you won’t need your own modem—your router can handle it, even in bridge or DMZ mode. I’ve used my own router before and found U-verse frustrating, but I managed to get it working.

Choose a trusted manufacturer that meets your performance needs. Remember: the numbers shown on the packaging represent combined speeds, so a tri-band 3000 might actually offer around 400mbps at 2.4ghz plus 1300mbps at 5ghz and another 1300mbps at 5ghz.

I think using direct fiber straight to the house is best since they claim speeds of 1000mbps in either direction.

AT&T relies on a combination of ONT and router devices. To bypass this, you must use the "Pass Thru" feature. Note that most fiber ISPs don’t let you install your own ONT since they don’t sell them directly.
