Hey friends. Just got ATT Fiber 1G, 2 days ago. My gateway (GW) is the BGW320-500. I have my own Ubiquity router, and Ubiquity APs so I configured the GW in IP Passthrough mode. My router's WAN now has the ATT public IP and all connectivity works.

Now, using their phone app to do a speed test, it shows speeds to the GW around 1233Mbps. Yay. However, more realistic speed tests on my server (wired; eth->gig switch->my router->att GW) are a fraction of that: around 12MB/s (96Mbps)

I've used speedtest-cli, curl'ing a 5GB ubuntu ISO from various mirrors, curl'ing large archives from AWS S3, etc. Nothing has gone above 12MB/s. Fast.com on any laptop/phone (wifi 5Ghz, my APs) maxes out around similar, 70-80Mbps.

I've seen comments about the ATT GW doing "double NAT" in passthrough mode, and I can see when doing traceroute that the GW always shows as the 2nd hop. Is that killing my speeds?

Getting ATT fiber installed today. I have my own Ubiquity router, managed gbit switch, and PoE APs. I explained to the tech that my existing cable modem/router is in bypass mode, because everything is managed by my router. He said I can do that with the ATT gateway, but if power goes out, I have to change that setting back every time.

As an alternative, he suggested getting my own fiber terminator(?), and spoofing the ATT gateway MAC address. I've never messed with fiber/ONT/SFP before, so this is aspect outside my knowledge base.

I found the TP-Link MC220L on amazon for $20. Is that all I need to do what the tech is suggesting?

Hi. N00b here. Taking in a leopard gecko from neighbor who is moving. From what I've been reading, and watching, his setup sucked, and I want to do better. I have a larger "cube" 36gal tank, bioactive substrate mix (repti-soil, play sand, peat moss), the 3 hides, 4 succulents, 2 large leaf plants, many sticks, etc. I've created a paludarium essentially.

I've been reading the wiki here on reddit, and I'm still at odds with the lighting. I know I need a sort of "grow light"/natural light for the plants, but also need a UVB light, and a heat lamp. 3 different light fixtures on top of the tank?

Can I get some feedback on choices? I'm trying not to break the bank because the tank was a big bite into my budget. I don't want to put amz links so I'll give the titles:

- "MECESOR Dual Reptile Light Fixture,Double Reptile Heat Lamp Fixture with Independent Thermostat Control" (a 2-bulb fixture for the UVB and heat lamp)

- "SEAOURA Led Aquarium Light for Plants-Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light" A general purpose grow light

- Fluker's Deep Thermal Heat Lamp (50 watt, for heat)

- or "QZQ T5 UVB Reptile Light Fixture Combo Kit 8W"? But this makes 3 fixtures on top; seems like lots of clutter.

Many thanks on the comments, and/or other suggestions.
