Re: 2wire 3800HGV-B and Double Firewall I used the att speed test and also the ones on dslreports and got the same results.
And what I did was call Uverse support and asked them if there were known issues with router behind router configurations. I had already tried the r-b-r configuration and event notification before I called and changed it back. During the call they modified the settings, we tried it again, and then they changed it back.
I detect no open ports on the 2wire from the outside, and they all show as stealth. I have run some scenarios in my head on how they are able to configure it remotely and have come up with a few, but I'm just throwing darts in the dark. I'm assuming the way they modify settings is through a very clever method that doesn't involve anything accessible to the internet but is lower level through the connection. |

| Interesting... I'll have to look at TR-069 closer. A cursory glance indicates that the client device is the one that initiates the request. So does the 2wire periodically check an ATT ACS, and if a support person makes changes the modifications are configured then? |

| Thanks for your help wayjac. I'd love to know the real details of all ways that lead into the 2wire (for peace of mind) but I understand that you may have to be vague for very good reasons. |

I don't have any association with 2wire but I am a subscriber of att dsl |

| said by wayjac:Most any modem or router has a way for it to be configured remotely via the internet Yes, but I usually see it as an option in the device configuration to enable or disable remote configuration. |
