That rounded white box is a POS At&T locked down fiber modem/router which they patch biweekly at 3am without your control because they don't want people hacking their devices to change the DNS server or anything useful.
It wouldn't be a problem if AT&T let you use your own fiber ONT but they don't which is technically illegal but no one has sued them yet because they are a billion dollar company.
Thankfully the workaround is to grab a supported ONT, upgrade to 2.5g or higher fiber speeds so they are forced to use XGS-PON, then swap in your ONT with some cloned IDs and downgrade back to whatever plan you want. This all allegedly works because businesses that use AT&T as their ISP also don't want to pay money for a proprietary piece of junk, and they have enough power to throw around to demand AT&T allow them to use their own fiber hardware.
I love having Google Fiber, they gave me a modem with one open RJ-45 port and said "have fun with the other side of this network".
Google fiber still exists? Huh, I figured that would be another good project they kill off after a year or two
It's only in certain areas, I live in Seattle and it's in Seattle but not everywhere in Seattle.
There are total bypass options now to completely remove their hardware from your network using an ONT that lets you clone the att device serial number. Just a heads up.
Mind to direct me to the right direction on this? For academic purposes, of course.

Basically has all the documentation and links you need in one section because its made up of various forum posts and google docs lol.
I picture you whispering this at the full moon while sharpening a blade.
Oh hi. What XGS-PON device allows a cloned ID?
I've actually been looking for one forever.

The two most common are:
There are notes and some people who have found others that work as well
Thanks, I like it. $200 is a bit steep for the SFP+ unit, but if I don't have to deal with the ISPs modem nonsense, it's probably worth it. I'll probably check out the discord later.
