As I'm not happy with my apartment right now, I'm looking for another to move into. I'm on a list for several and one recently called me back, has Fiber but was wired back during a earlier run and maxes out at only 1 Gig. I'm looking for 2 or better. Not to consider the deals AT&T is running right now for 2+. This particular set up was built in 2015.
Is there any truth to an upgrade happening if you try to order the faster speeds? I kinda doubt this though, Since how can you order them online when they don't show up for the address?
Also, if those who were stuck waiting for upgrades but had a Gig to wait, how long did it take to get 2 or 5 available? I know T typically prioritizes wiring up more areas vs equal speeds.
Further in this particular apartment, the installer when things were originally installed, stuck it in the closet. How are people's experiences with this? I've never used like that before, and think that it helps heat things up and interferes with the wifi signal. I'm betting the current tenant just did everything wirelessly. (I don't since I plan to wire in everything I can. Have my own router and switch and plan to IP Passthrough) Note that I'll probably get a BGW-320 if I don't pay the extra 25 for the newer Wifi 7 gateway. I cringed when I saw it was in the closet like that, but I'm a tech geek and care more about this then most. Imagine having a UPS and gateway in the clothes closet. Toasty.)
My plan is to still use the closet, but plan to run an 80 foot cable of this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QDRKWCL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 from the closet if I can't have the installer to move things into the room, probably not. Even though I've got the manager's permission to do things. May look a bit rigged, but if works. I don't care much. Would this cable work with both the 320 and the newer Wifi 7 unit?
Also, for both the BGW-320 and the Wifi 7 version, does anyone have step by step IP Passthrough instructions or a look link to such?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: Something to add that I find absolutely hilarious. I have Comcast at the apartment I'm eager to leave, but AT&T Fiber is on the other side of the street, yet will probably never come here. Yet, the apartment I'm looking at to move to, has Fiber but no Comcast. Ha! I'll still take it. Comcast blows!
