AT&T BGW320-505 (Nokia) fiber gateway: specs and speed limits
The BGW320-505 is an AT&T Fiber gateway made by Nokia. It combines the fiber terminal (ONT) and the Wi-Fi router in one box. Sources: AT&T's equipment energy sheet and the FCC filing (FCC ID 2ADZRBGW320).

Source conflicts
- 5 GHz channel widths: the FCC DFS report lists 20/40/80/160 MHz, but AT&T's energy sheet lists the BGW320-505 5 GHz radio as "(20,40,80 MHz)". This page shows the FCC value.
What this means for speed
- The four LAN ports are GigE (1 Gb/s), so one wired device gets at most about 949 Mb/s of TCP data (computed, RFC 6349 §4.1.1).
- The 5 GHz radio supports 160 MHz channels per the FCC filing. Its stream count is not sourced, so we do not state a top Wi-Fi rate.

UNSOURCED count: 3. (Wi-Fi class, 5 GHz streams (the energy sheet lists "5 GHz Radio LP(2)" plus "5 GHz MIMO above 2x2 LP(4)", which does not fix a per-radio stream count), coverage)
