Do you know the model numbers and/or have any other information about these new routers?

I'm currently using eap_proxy with my BGW210, and it's been a huge improvement, but I fear the day the device needs to be replaced with a newer model.

BGW320 is the new model, which I had installed about a month ago. It isn't a simple swap, as it uses a SFP module combined with the modem's internal ONT instead of a separate ONT, so I've heard it's only used in new installations. More about it: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32605799-BGW320-505-new-ga... (although theirs says 1550nm while mine says 1310nm)

However, it has 5Gbit Ethernet, hasn't re-enabled WiFi on automatic firmware updates, and has only screwed with my IP Passthrough configs once which was resolved with a router reboot. (that was possibly my router's fault, it seemed like it was unable to fetch a new DHCP lease)
