AT&T Fiber + U-Verse TV
Hi
My 3-pack of Eero Pro 6 came today, and I'm excited to get them set up. This is my first foray into a mesh system. But I'm trying to figure out whether to go the Bridge Route with AT&T or the Passthrough.
It seems Passthrough is the more powerful option, but also easier to mess up. I do have U-Verse TV in addition to the internet, and I have multiple wireless receivers, so it's important to keep that functioning.
I've scanned far and wide, but can't quite find a clear answer. (Eero Support recommended Bridge mode pre-arrival because it's simple, but I'm hedging.)
I'm working with the Motorola BGW210-700 Gateway.
Anybody able to offer any tips or step by steps? Love my Fiber, but wish it wasn't making this complicated.

Keep the U-verse TV equipment connected to the AT&T Gateway regardless of your other choices and it will be fine.
Bridge/Access Point mode on the mesh would keep the mesh system from performing some functionality (QoS, parental control, etc.). If you won't miss that functionality, then I'd suggest doing it this way.
If there's some functionality in the mesh that you need to have, then you need to go the IP Passthrough route, which includes making sure the two routers have different subnets.
