The apartment I am moving to has AT&T fiber as an option. I want to know if I have the option to use my own router because the 2 in 1 models I have used in the past from AT&T have had problems with down times and other customization.

How do I get a BGW320 gateway?

I tried requesting a new gateway last year, but they said I was unable to get a BGW320. Has that changed yet? We’re now in 2022, and our household could really use Wi-Fi 6 for all of our devices. Please let me know if there’s a specific team at AT&T that I can contact.

Slow internet over wireless, looking at adding a wireless N router - question about data throughput

I have found that my wired internet runs close to 20Mbps, while the wireless runs 8 to 10 on a good day. Lots of 2.4GHz networks nearby. I have been reading about adding a wireless N router running at 5GHz to fix the problem. Sounds great, but now it's time to pick a router and wireless N adapters.
