This model features 4 gigabit Ethernet ports, dual-band wireless, MU-MIMO technology, & more! Great for those looking to upgrade their internet speeds and future-proof their network for the next few years of high-speed internet. This model is compatible with both Bonded ADSL2+ and VDSL2, making it extremely versatile.

Maximum Performance 4×4 5 GHz 802.11ac
Engineered for maximum performance, the 5268AC integrated 4×4 5 GHz 802.11ac wireless access point allows service providers to securely deliver HD video and data anywhere in your home. Using the most up-to-date wireless standard (802.11ac), you will receive traditional “wired” levels of service quality. Additionally, this model includes easy-installation features that allow you to either self-install or spend significantly less time on the phone with your provider. Put simply, it allows the fastest network speeds possible, while future-proofing your network for several years to come.
Eliminates WiFi Dead Zones & Increases Coverage
ARRIS virtually eliminates wireless dead zones around your home using high-powered 802.11ac 4×4 MIMO wireless technology. This guarantees superior dual-band wireless coverage to every device around the home, and ensures subscribers can enjoy seamless connectivity in every room at the maximum speed. Another feature that sets this model apart is built-in dual-band wireless. This is because the dual-band actually assists in limiting dead zones and spotty coverage.
Across every Wi-Fi band, the 5268AC gateway has excellent receiver sensitivity and optimized antenna designs that boost performance when compared to typical wireless designs. Better range throughout the local network area means a better network experience with extended wireless coverage and up to 33% more capacity. The additional capacity enables subscribers to consume more video and ultimately have a better user experience.
Fast, Secure, Reliable Connectivity
Recognizing the need for extremely fast, reliable and high-performance local network connectivity, the 5268AC includes a variety of wired and wireless connection options. In addition to high-power 2.4 GHz 802.11n, the gateway also includes a concurrent, state-of-the-art 5 GHz 4×4 802.11ac access point. This enables service providers to deliver reliable wireless video services and data at the highest possible speeds.
Flexible Connectivity
For providers who prefer wired connectivity, the 5268AC includes both Gigabit Ethernet as well as HomePNA over coax for “no new wiring” installation. Optional two-line voice services are provided via integrated VoIP. The 5268AC residential gateway also features bonded ADSL2+/VDSL2 modem technology allowing service providers to increase rate and reach with their existing broadband infrastructure.
Easy Installation & Network Management
The 5268AC supports an optional internal Li-ion battery pack and is fully manageable utilizing the industry-standard TR-069 management protocol. This battery backup capability is an important feature that’s often overlooked, but could be the difference between life and death in an emergency. Keep your ability to dial 911 from your home phone, even if there’s a power outage. Backup battery not required for service, and sold separately.
ADSL/VDSL Pair Bonding
The 5268AC gateway simplifies installation & activation to make your life easier. For DSL broadband connectivity, it terminates both single-pair and bonded copper connections and automatically detects the appropriate profile. Its highly optimized xDSL interface supports a wide variety of xDSL profiles from ADSL2+ to bonded, high-speed VDSL2. Providers with fiber infrastructure can connect the output of an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) directly to the unit’s dedicated, Gigabit Ethernet broadband port.
PACE 5268AC Gigabit Speeds
The 5268AC’s integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch and dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port enables service providers to deliver next-generation services such as interactive payTV and video on-demand. The dual-core CPU and hardware accelerated routing translates into exceptional performance for every application, enhanced by quality of service management for voice, IPTV and data.
Keep Your Landline Phone with Integrated Voice over IP
Many of us still have a landline nowadays for emergencies or additional home security. The 5268AC provides built-in VoIP capabilities to support today’s diverse voice needs. Additional VoIP capabilities include a full SIP ALG and back-to-back IP user agent (proxy) to support additional ATA adapters. An optional, replaceable integrated Li-ion battery pack is available to ensure continuity of services during a power outage.
Streamlined Remote Network Management
The 5268AC intelligent gateway simplifies both gateway and application management; remote management is supported with any TR-069-compliant auto-configuration server, such as the industry-leading ECO Manage device management system. Essentially, this allows you to access your network, configure settings, set parental controls, block websites & more! Check on your network status whenever you want, without having to contact your internet provider.

Did the job. Good Price, made well.

I bought this for my parents when their old DSL modem died thinking that I’d have to come visit to set it up.
The config was so seamless that they were able to do it on their own with no trouble.

I used this with my new AT&T fiber internet service I had installed in December 2019. I’m supposed to get speed of up to 300 mbps, and I’m getting over that.
The AT&T tech that installed the service told me that he’s never seen anyone use their own gateway before. I’m not sure why because this thing works great. It worked immediately and I’ve had no problems for the last month I’ve had it running.
This thing saves me the $10/month equipment fee. I highly recommend it.

So after paying close to $600 over the years renting a cable modem, I decided it was worth the risk to buy one. I have the advantage of a son who used to work for Geek Squad to help set it up. Everything pretty much worked out of the box, but I have to admit that what took my son 20 minutes to configure the settings would have taken me a couple of hours.

Product was purchased at AT&T recommendation, to go with an up-grade to fiber. However, AT&T’s technician refused to install it, noting that this unit is not compatible with AT&T fiber.
Problem was not really anything to do with this unit, just AT&T left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. We later learned that AT&T fiber only eorks with an AT&T provided modem/router.
