     nope, not on the newest ATT gateways like the 500/505s. Neither of these options are possible anymore.
     
     The best option if you have XGS-PON service (more than 1gbit available in your area) you can buy this Azores which is like an XGS-PON ONT devkit and you can clone the ATT serial, mac, and model strings onto it. Then you get a real bridge!

     There's a way around it. You can use eap parrot to unlock the ont, and enable qos (vlan 0) on your router and you bypass their hardware (I've been doing this for years).

     There are guides out there that talk about extracting the 11x key from their gateway so you can run supplicant natively.

     We've had AT&T symmetric gigabit fiber to our neighborhood for 8 years. But they do not support bridging. You use their firewall. Double NAT if you want. No thanks.

     In related personal news, I may soon be free of #Comcast.

     #RightFiber is a regional ISP out of Jonesboro, AR.

     I asked a their customer rep if they support bridging their Nokia ONT, since I run my own firewall/router. Her response, "Sure, that's easily done." To be fair to Comcast, they also support bridging. But then I have to put up with their 1.2 TB bandwidth caps and colossally asymmetric 950/25 Mb/s bandwidth, at $20/month more than RightFiber.
