Even if you don't have a separate ONT you can bypass the BGW320 completely with an SFP GPON-ONT-on-a-stick into SFP+ interface or a 2.5g media converter if you are in a GPON area. If you are XGSPON the common option is to buy a WAG-D20. Either way you still need certs for 802.1x.

The WAG-D20 is no longer supported/works if you're on AT&T. At least according to the discussion on dslreports and also 8311 discord server.

Also, even Baltic networks has a warning about using it with AT&T.

The new working ONT is the WAS-110.

The WAG-D20 is basically not recommended generally due to chipset bugs on newer revs and reduced speeds, nothing specifically with AT&T, though the VEIP issue is a specific sticking point.

The Baltic link you provided also is not limited to AT&T, and that is more a disclaimer because they are probably sick of return attempts by people with just enough to knowledge to find a cite for WAG-D20 but otherwise clueless. I doubt they want to encourage any residential customers for any model regardless if it works.
The WAG-D20 still works ok for existing setups.

Actually for GPON the 802.1x is enforced on the ONT, so if you use an ONT SFP stick you do not need 802.1x. I already had pulled mine years ago and they’re good until 2038 or something so I haven’t bothered bypassing the ATT ONT.
