I recently switched from DSL to ATT fiber optic uverse -- TV and internet. It comes with a residential gateway router and I tried plugging my D-link Extreme N wireless router into one of the ports on the 2-wire router from ATT. Now no computers on the network can connect to the internet and none of them can see each other or the 2-wire AT&T router that came with the U-verse service. I have been working on it for 2 days. What can I do? I thought you coul daisy-chain as many routers together as you wanted? I was not expecting any trouble.
I plugged one of the computers into the AT&T 2-wire router and it had a 5.78 MB / sec download speed. It worked fine. Why doesn't the D-link let computers get internet when I try to use that superior packet-priority router by plugging it in just like I did the single computer that worked so well???
