Question
How do I install my SBR-AC3200P on a DSL/U-verse Service?
Answer
The SBR-AC3200P is a wireless router that provides secure high-speed Internet connectivity to the wired or wireless network devices on the home or small business network.  It is compatible with Cable, DSL/U-verse, and FIOS service.  

To use the SBR-AC3200P as the primary wireless router and firewall, the DSL/U-verse modem device needs to be setup as a pass through device by disabling routing, wireless, and firewall features.  This will allow the SBR-AC3200P to handle the connection to the Internet.  Please contact the service provider to determine how to configure the DSL/U-verse modem device as a pass through device.  In addition the configuration required in SBR-AC3200P for the Internet connection.      

This document contains the following sections: CAUTION: To better secure your network, ARRIS recommends to change the default Admin user name & password and the default Wireless password immediately after connecting to the Internet.

Requirements:
  • Active Internet for DSL/U-verse service
  • DSL/U-verse modem device
  • Consult with the service provider to configure the device in bridge mode or passthrough mode, the WAN MAC Address may be need for setup and can be found from the label on the bottom of the unit
  • Disable firewall and wireless function on DSL Wi-Fi Router

    NOTE: If the DSL/U-verse modem device is not setup as a pass through modem, internet access and functionality of the SBR-AC3200P's firewall, port forwarding, and DMZ features may not function properly.
     
  • Contact the service provider to determine the setup type on the SBR-AC3200P:
    • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - The SBR-AC3200P obtains an IP address automatically from the DSL/U-verse provider.  This is enabled by default. 
    • PPPoE - (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - The SBR-AC3200P authenticates and connects to the Internet with a username and password.  The PPPoE username and password is provided by the DSL provider.
    • Static IP - The SBR-AC3200P uses a permanent IP address to connection to the Internet.  This includes an IP address, Subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS addresses which are provided by the DSL provider.
