I'm sorry in advance for starting this, but I read thriugh all of the other threads and none of them were helpful.

The problem I'm having is that I have AT&T Fibre and a BGW210; I've configured IP passthrough on the AT&T device, but no matter what I do, the Firewalla Gold will not pick up the external address; the WAN port always has a 192.x.x.x address.  I can see from the BGW210 setting that passthrough is on, and that it is pointing to the firewalla WAN port... but nothing I do works to get the Firewalla to actually pick up the external address as its WAN IP.

I'm at a loss with respect to get this to work, although I really need it to. The problem is I'm something of a n00b, and consequently I'm struggling and could really use some help.

Thank you in advance to anyone who would be willing to help out.

  Unless I am mistaken, you can take the Ethernet cable that connects the BGW210 to the ONT and just plug it directly into the Firewalla WAN connection. If you aren’t using the BGW210 for something else (wi-fi or phone), that would be the simplest thing to do.

  Everything that I haver read says that the BGW210 has a built in security certificate for authenticating with AT&T's systems and that it won't work without it. It would be great if that were wrong.
