    I just renew my internet contract with At&T, however it seem I have some connection issue when I try to using bridge model with my router, before I renew everything work fine.
    I have below spec; please let me know additional info is need!

    What did AT&T and LinkSys tell you, when you asked them?

    I have those gear with me for a while, so it was out of manufacture warranty service, basically just tell me to paid them in order to get service
    AT&T support, tell me something similar since my router is not belong to AT&T it will cost me to resolve my issue,
    That is why I try to seem my help here.
    • Today I try to disable the DHCP and using auto on my router, but so far no luck

    I believe you can only use AT&T equipment with their service because when you install it you have to send the the serial number of the modem. There are a lot of Internet Service Providers that will only let you use their equipment.I also have AT&T DSL.

    You were using AT&T, before you renewed your contract with them. At that time, everything was working fine.

    You renewed your contract with AT&T, and now it isn't working fine, and AT&T won't help you with a problem that they may have caused?

    I know what I would tell AT&T.

    HI all appreciate for your input, I have try below method

    My modem & router is not belonging to AT&T so they couldn't help.
    I can use modem to go online with no problem; just don't know the correct configuration for the router, since I have try the router in my company with no problem,
    I have call D-LInk, they say since u can go online than you modem have no problem at all it was your router
    So I call Linksys, they tell me you router have expire the service period, you will have to pay 29.99 for 14 day service or 6 month for 39.99. We couldn't service you until you paid....
