Third party router

Can I use my router in place of the gateway provided?

Hey @Imemineyou, we understand the importance of a reliable internet connection. Let's get the help you need.

 

AT&T Internet requires the use of AT&T equipment. However, you can still connect a router of your choice behind the gateway.

AT&T U-verse’s DSL protocol may prevent third-party routers from being used as the primary modem. Configuring IP Passthrough will help you get past through this.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you for contacting us on AT&T Community Forums!

Bruce, AT&T Community Specialist.
