AT&T does use a Motorola SBG6580 model that has issues with extenders. If you have that model the extender may experience connection issues. Also, with what you have described with the metal foil insulation, an extender may not be a good idea as it depends on the WIFI signal of the router. If you have the option, running Ethernet cable and installing an access point would be a better solution.

I've used AT&T for years, and I don't know what you mean by range extender. If it's for faster internet service or something like that, you wouldn't need the extender. AT&T equipment has that already built in and it will really mess the system up. So if you could let me know what you mean by range extender, maybe I can help with your question. Net Gear is what I got at Wal-mart to go with my AT&T new modem and had to take it back. I would also ask the person you are buying it from on Amazon and see what you can find out from them. Been there and done that!! Good Luck!

I've used it on at&t dsl router, now I'm in south carolina using carolina broadband cable router and hooked up and works fine. I have my ooma hooked up to router with one ethernet cable, hooked to router like a hardwired PC would be. Had the wireless thing, but after awhile, my ooma went weird, took awhile to figure out, but was the USB advice...Once I went hardwired, been fine.

I have this DSL modem/router. It is for phone internet (internet through the phone company) and not cable router (through cable company). I had trouble setting it up... come to find out it was the phone company's issue... they connected my internet to a second line! Other than that... the device has worked spectacularly. No issues!

Doug, you do not say which service provider you have and this is an AT&T; DSL MODEM/ROUTER, works on the AT&T; DSL service. This modem/router has given me great service throughout my home, so if you have AT&T; as an internet provider, yes it will work, if you have trouble installing it, call AT&T; and they will walk you through the installation and if you have a different internet provider, I am not sure if it will work but should for it is made by Netgear for AT&T; and Netgear should work with all service providers. You should contact Netgear or your provider and ask if it will work with your service.

I have AT&T and after a complete runaround mine works FABULOUSLY. There are times I'm thrown off microcell but typically within 5 mins I can be reconnected. It has to be plugged into your router- I have a newer home and so mine is plugged in to my whole house control panel which is in a closet. After I installed it I was told it had to be next to a window to work- which is not the case mine works fine from a closet.

I am not sure but I used it with a telephone wire for DSL AT&T.; I got rid of it as it is too slow. I switched to u-verse and never have any problems like I did with DSL and that modem. It will not support a coax outlet....

You have to know the VOLTAGE and how many AMPS your router requires. I would recommend going on the net and check with the manufacturer or if you have and old power supply it will have that info on the back. The size of the plug matters too, as it must fit into your unit.

Sorry, as I have no experience with AT&T; UVerse I can't answer your question.

Hello, I have only used mine with Verizon DSL and on the box it states that it will not work with Cable Internet providers like Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Charter, etc.. or with non-Adsl Internet providers like Verizon FIOS and At&t; U-Verse. Hopes that helps.

Router, or is it a modem must have a removable external antenna. Remove the router antenna, connect the amp to the router with the supplied short cable and connect the antenna to the amp. Amp needs 120v power.

I am having touble too. At first it couldn't find the router, now it finds it but says my IP address doesn't work. I am planning on calling Comcast, but I was I was wondering what brand of routers people had.Thanks.

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

Yes, Colleen. It worked for me , with the caveats listed in review, (so you will need someone knowledgeable with computer setups. It requires the browser to be setup in an insecure mode to utilize their Java script to install the device; change the browser back to secure after installation). I can confirm that it worked on ADSL2/2+. AT&T does have other flavors (products) about which I have no knowledge. So if you want to be absolutely sure, ask AT&T exactly what you are getting and see if it is compatible with ADSL2/2+. There was also a good bit of compatability information online and at the manufacturer's site. It looked like it worked with most of AT&T offerings to me, but check to be safe.

I don't know about U-verse, but for regular ATT DSL, you can use any modem you choose (even though they won't tell you that) but you'll have a hard time getting help from their service desk. If you're comfortable with installation and trouble-shooting your own network setup, it's no problem. Give it a shot - if it doesn't work, you can always return it and get a Pace.
