I will be calling the Arris BGW210-700 the “BGW” and the Netgear XR500 the “XR” from now on.Īlright, enough of my rambling, let’s get to the fix. You will notice that if you plug a router into the BGW210, it will not work, and if it does, your devices will be Double NAT (being routed through 2 routers, and hitting each of their respective ‘firewalls’.) Which means that you almost certainly will not be able to play any games, stream, voice chat, etc.
I’ve recently gotten AT&T Fiber (1Gbps Down x 1Gbps Up) at my house, and needless to say, it was a pain in my ass to get my router (Netgear XR500) to work with their Modem/Router combo (Arris BGW210-700.) I already had my router, and for the price that I paid for it, I wasn’t going to use their equipment to do my networking. TL DR: These steps will show you how to essentially put your Arris BGW210-700 modem/router into “bridge” aka IP Passthrough mode, allowing you to use your Netgear XR500 (or pretty much any other router) as your router/wifi/firewall/etc.
