   Wonder what the 802.1x timeout on at&t fiber is. Thinking I could possibly keep the at&t router off, when I get an EAP packet, turn it on, do the negotiation, and turn it back off.

     @encthenet also youre describing an old method to bypass. Someone once made a netgraph hack to pass only that traffic to the ATT gear too

     @feld not using netgraph, using eap parrot, and no, don't have the newer XGS-PON (at least I'm pretty sure I don't).

     And I'm looking at extracting a cert from my older router now.

     @encthenet I have heard conflicting reports about the EAP cert being required for network access now. My bypass doesn't require any certificates, for example. Curious to hear back if that bypass works for you

     @feld
     I mean, from what I've been reading (and it worked) is that service is tied to the ont, not to the router so it makes sense that they'd phase it out since it wasn't doing anything.

     I tried my old router in the service and it worked and returned the same IP as the newer router. Which matches what I've read that you could buy keys.

     It may need the eap to start after a power cycle. I'm running a capture to see time between eap packets now.

     If it only needs it after a power cycle, then the remote power is a good/valid option for me. (I have an ATS that I can remotely control the power to plugs.)
