A friend is thinking of ordering AT&T fiber for her home, either resold through Sonic or directly from AT&T. She’d like to use the AT&T-provided gateway and their optional smart extenders to create a mesh network with Ethernet backhaul (her house is wired for Ethernet), similar to what’s suggested here by js9erfan.
My questions are the following:
a) Does anyone out there know whether AT&T is currently installing the Arris BGW320 gateway and the AirTies 4971 extender? If not, what hardware do they currently use?
b) Has anyone had experience with this or a similar setup?
c) If so, do you have any words of wisdom/encouragement/caution to offer on the subject, based on your experience?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
