[TriLUG] ATT gigabit internet quick review

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

The router does not support bridge mode.  There are lots of complaints
about it.  Here is an earlier thread about it (I'm waldo22):
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29898675-U-Verse-Business-NVG585-NAT-limit

AT&T uses 802.1x authentication with certificates that are built in to
their router firmware.

The router interface is just plain old Ethernet.

...so if you can extract the 802.1x certificate from the Pace 5268AC, you
can use any router that supports 802.1x.

That's above my skill level, though.
