How do I hookup the new Vizio Router and use it instead of the ATT 2wire298 unit. Can I turn off the ATT router and use the Vizio 100 instead? Yes you can turn off the wireless on your ATT 2wire298 router. You will need your ATT router password to login through the web and change the setup.

YES - I just installed a used WRE54G with 1.0 firmware (no ethernet port) and it had to be configured FIRST with WEP but then allowed WPA (Not WPA2)

You can use this Access Point with any wireless DSL Modem including the 2Wire, but you would need to turn the wireless radio off in the 2Wire settings.

You are correct. The exception is if your router has an HPNA coax connection. Many ATT Uverse modem/routers have this built in.

I'm not aware that you can turn it off. My router is in the basement so it's not an issue with me. Black electrical tape is a quick fix if you're really bothered by it, unless some one else here knows how to shut it off. Nothing from Netgear?

Yes - I would go cable modem to wireless router then from router to switch all with an ethernet cable. This is how I have it setup on my network.

Am not sure about ATT Uverse. I used mine to split off to a wireless router for whole house TIVO system. I haf no need for the MOCA splitter I purchased after using the Actiontec.

Hi Ken - Yes! It is COMBINED modem and wireless router which replaces two (2) pieces of equipment. HOWEVER... The damned thing DIED last week! I replaced it with an ATT supplied DSL Modem/Router (NetGear 7550). Setup was a breeze and if needed, there is STATE SIDE support. Stick with an ATT supplied modem/router!

Yes you can. Although I tired the wireless set-up, it is easy to use this as a modem only. Simply enter enter the modem, and there are admin features including turning off the wifi output. I have never had an issue doing this and I have a separate router for wifi.

I have a similar setup using ATT Uverse. I basically just disabled the routing function of the uverse router/modem and let skydog do the work.

No. But it is not a big deal, the Ubiquiti coverage is so strong that (in my case) I simply turned off the wireless on the existing router and just used the Ubiquiti units. Much simpler, much cleaner.

Yes, it can be disabled quite easily... If you had the router, you'd log into it, choose the "Wireless" tab at the top of the page, then the "Basic Settings" tab that appears beneath it: on that page, you'd then see "Wireless Network Mode" second from the top and set it to "Disabled." You might also look into the Tomato community's firmwares to see if any of them suits you better. I've used DD-WRT for 4 years, but I'm going to try Tomato (probably "Tomato by Shibby") as I've seen it recommended over DD-WRT quite a few times recently and it's more actively developed. Hopefully either one of them or DD-WRT does what you need them to! :)

If you already have this modem, your best bet is to just use it as a modem only and disable the routing and wifi functionality. Then you could easily pick up yourself up a nice ASUS RT-N66U and it will last many years to come.

No, that model is both a wireless router and a modem in one. Nicer than having two boxes to deal with. All the instructions you need are on line at the Motorola web site and they have a help desk too.

Bryan, I tried this with ATT Uverse - no go. I ended up going with Cox cable internet (only internet) and bought a recommended Cisco modem from Cox. The Cox cable comes in on RG# and the modem converted it to Cat#. I am in the Northeast Ohio Area. The balun is for moving video from RG# to ethernet back to RG#. I still have my balun - 20$ deglakewood@ameritech.net if you need anything. Good Luck - David

Tried that, it really didn't work for me. Router worked amazingly well for 3 weeks or so, then I started having to reset it about once a week, now it's just plain stupid, I can sit here and watch it lose the signal and regain it 2 or 3 times a minute during the worst episodes. Calling tech support was a joke, they sent someone out to replace the wireless board in my Vizio TV! I'm very happy with my Vizio TV, but as soon as I get my new ASUS router delivered, this Vizio router's going to the recycling bin.

Hi there. If the Vizio router is a wireless router, this device should work.
