really not a good idea to have a router connected to another one especially since wireless on this gateway is really good.. I guess you could argue for draft n and in that case I would suggest getting an access point only
I have more than 4 hard wired components, so I have a Linksys 350N behind it. I also use the 350N's wireless for my kids Nintendo DS(only supports WEP). Since I don't 'really' need the extra wireless, would it be better to put a switch behind the RG rather than a router.

I do miss the wireless N from the linksys, but I have found the RG's wireless to be much better overall for my needs.

I was running my Netgear WR trough the RG, but started messing with it last week, and decided to use the wireless directly from the RG.

It has all the features and signal strength of any after market unit, and simplifies your entire network. I simply used the same SSID as the Netgear, and all my wireless devices came right up.

The user name and password are on the side of the RG, and allows you to set it up as you see fit, including changing the password. It can also be accessed from any computer on the network too. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21061556 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:01:09 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21053871 MyDogHsFleas :

The least they could do is send out an email or letter stating what is happening so their customers don't think there is something wrong with their current router.
They are not going to support what they didnt install? You can install another router behind the RG if you like. (havent done it myself) Some people that play PC games using wireless have done it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21051319 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:22:41 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21050432 jordanair : She or he called ATT to fix a linksys or D-link issue and they could not do it...i think i'll take my Dodge Ram to Circuit City to get my next tune-up]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21050432 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:40:05 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21049576 apeface : What? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21049576 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:36:46 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21049085 djrobx : OK, I'm lost. :huh:.

Belkin sells a network USB hub, although you're probably better off just buying a printer with built-in wireless capability.

Yes you can drop the TV and keep the Internet. Just look on your bill, they are priced separately, the Internet price would not change because you drop the TV. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20930899 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:45:55 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20929306 anon : Wow!

I don't know WHAT kind of antenna that thing has in it, but the wireless signal is the best of any router I've had. It even beats out my WRT54G with firmware-tweaked signal strength and high gain antennas, by quite a margin.

The RG actually detects if you plug another router in and tries to help you configure it.

My RG is down in my storage room and my computer is upstairs in my dining room. It picks up either "Very Good" or "Good." My ibook also picks up good reception, but I use that downstairs so I expected that. I also have a wireless music bridge which plays music from my computer through the router and onto the stereo in the other dining room. With my old router it used to pick up a maximum of like 62% and that is when the router was only a room away. With the Gateway which is downstairs it picks up 80%. Plus, I was surprised to see it worked with the RG. I didn't even have to plug it into the RG. I just setup my RG to my old network SSID and password and it picked it up and connected. I have a question, let's say in a year I like the gateway and the internet and I want to drop the TV. Would I be able to do that?

Works well as a backup wireless connection as well. Probably do need to call AT&T though.

However there's nothing to stop you from putting your own router in, on your own dime and your own troubleshooting.

That said... I always advise people to first try using the RG's built-in wireless, and only if that does not work for them for some reason, to go to a 2nd router. I know people feel "comfortable" with their setups as is, but it is more complicated to have two routers.

Good luck!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20907604 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:09:36 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20906070 gdm : You can't bridge the RG it's not like a ADSL modem/router.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20906070 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:29:57 EDT Re: AT&T U-Verse Router http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20905710 antioch : You can often bridge the routers and use your own for networking (wireless or wired).
