I've got AT&amp;T U-Verse home network, and their router does not want to "see" this device on my network. How do I get this to work?

Hi. It would be necessary know about how your router spread ip adresses. If it does dinamically with mac address mapping, or if there is a limited number of adresses, etc. Despite this, are you sure you router can't "see" the storage, or your gadgets can't? Try this: use a switch to connect storage and pc. Configure static adresses on both. Confirm if they see each other. If they do, your storage is fine, and you will need to discover why router does not give storage a ip address. You will need refer to the storage configuration manual too. Regards.

Sorry I can't help you. I bought for use with AT&T; Uverse. All I can say is that it was half the cost of what u-verse wanted for a replacement.

Hi, I bought one of these and also have a linksys G router. It did absolutly nothing. I have the same range as I had beforeAdrian

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

Yes, a repeater or a AP/Bridge "should" solve your problem but it depends on how you connect the devices.You would have to use the repeater to bridge the Linksys Router using WiFI then connect the bridge using the CAT5 cable to you NetGear.That being said... I wouldn't use the $200 repeater where I could use a $100 WiFi Bridge.Or you could just use the repeater as a repeater and do away with one of your WiFi Routers

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

I'll try to ask my cousin. He does not have this router (on his wish list too) but has a NAS set up and can access data. There is a way to watch torrents and pictures. I am sure it is the same concept with a different router.

Yes, I had the same issue. I had to downgrade back to 2.0.1 in order to get it to integrate with my home wifi network. Plus, I had a router that ran 2.4 and 5ghz on the same SSID and I had to give them different names to get this device to work. It's a bit buggy

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

Only with a wired connection, which actually makes it an AP rather than a bridge or repeater. It doesn't support that function natively. Also, the third-party firmware dd-wrt that would allow that function does not support this router. There may be another third party firmware that could allow it to work the way you want, but you're looking at some work getting it done. You would need good knowledge of networking most likely. If you require that feature then you would be better off looking into something that already has it built in, or that is supported by dd-wrt firmware.

Go to the network setting on your device and follow instructions. if your home network is password protected it will ask you to provide it to allow your device to gain access. Hope this helps.

I don't know about u-verse, but I use this with a Verizon FiOS Actiontec router to get more ports without any problems. I also use a smaller Netgear 4-port switch with an IOGear Universal Wi-Fi N adapter to connect with my DirecTV receivers and other network ready video equipment (like TV and Blu-Ray players).

I had the same issue, so what I did I changed the router to WEP instead of WPA or WPA2 and it has been working fine ever since,, I know security wise is not good but had to make it work some how,, Hope it helps for you too, try it don't have nothing to lose!

There are tunnel protocols that may not function. These are able to pick up and configure to "extend" an existing link. I have a single unit working as an access point off a DLINK wrt and hadn't seen any problems.

I replaced my AT&T; modem with a TP-Link and it was very easy to configure. If you don't have much experience with configuration of routers or wireless just follow the instructions. I haven't had any issues since installation and I've got around 12 devices connected to mine. Hope this helps.
