![]() log in - the username and password should be written in your U-verse manual.Enter Residential Gateway Address (192.168.1.254).If you have more U-verse receivers connected using coax, pull the power plug on those.ĭisable HomePNA on the U-verse residential gateway. It doesn't matter which LAN port is used. Connect one end of the ethernet cable to a LAN port on the residential gateway and the other end to the DVR or receiver. My residential gateway has 4 LAN ports and one WAN port. Remove the coax cables from the receivers and DVR. I used three 100 ft cables, but shorter or longer cables may be needed in your home. Run three ethernet cables from U-verse Residential Gateway to a U-Verse DVR and to two U-verse receivers. Speed test will vary based on usage, time of day and other factors. Using the existing setup, run speed test and measure download speed. The 2-Wire gateway’s wireless access point supports wifi 802.11 b/g, which means the AP is a bottleneck limiting wireless speeds to ~50Mbps.Ī better solution is to switch off the Residential Gateway's internal AP and replace it with an external 802.11n or 802.11a/c AP that can run at 150Mbps or more.īefore committing to rewiring the whole house, run some experiments. Sometimes the wired and wireless devices are talking to the Internet, but often they are talking between each other. Almost all of my wireless devices support 802.11n and some support 802.11a/c. My family uses wireless devices, such as, printers, mobiles, laptops, kindles, Internet of thing (IoT) devices, smart TVs, and iPads more often then we do wired devices, such as, TVs, servers, and desktops. This is not recommended, but it works.Ī better solution is to simply eliminate HomePNA and coax and only use ethernet. However, it is possible to use the ethernet coming from a U-verse receiver as input to an internet enabled TV. In a normal setup, coax goes into the receiver and HDMI comes out and goes to a TV. My U-verse receivers (Cisco IPN330HD) and DVR supports HomePNA so the coax cable carries both 1) TV and 2) internet. Disabling HomePNA and the AP allows the gateway to focus on routing packets. My theory is the Residential Gateway's CPU is underpowered to handle HomePNA, ethernet and the internal AP. I don't have a satisfactory explanation for why this works. I have the Max Plus plan, which has a download speed of 18Mbps. The gateway’s four Ethernet ports are limited to 100Mbps. The gateway provides TV over coax using HomePNA, four Ethernet ports, and a built-in wireless access point (AP). My current installation comes with a 2-Wire residential gateway. GigaPower is available in my area so I will be upgrading soon. My U-verse system was installed more than 6 years ago. My internet service provider (ISP) is AT&T U-verse. disable built-in 802.11b/g wireless access point (AP) with an external 802.11n or 802.11a/c AP.disable HomePNA and switch to ethernet.The goal of this instructable is to improve U-Verse download speeds on the Max Plus plan from 18Mbps to 22Mbps by doing the following: I don't know if this violates any U-verse terms of service. I cannot guarantee you will see the same performance improvement. I don't have access to proprietary U-verse information, and so there is no proprietary or inside information disclosed in this instructable. The opinions in this instructable are my own and do not represent the company's views in any way. As an AT&T employee, I am required to put in a disclaimer.
