do you have the R6230 in AP mode?
Or the R6230's ip address put into the att gateway's DMZ?
Otherwise you're in a double nat

Do all AT&T modems do that?
No option for "bridge mode"?
Dontcha hate these ISPs?
ATT pretty much forces all its users to have a gateway that's not just a modem. A bit sad you can't just get a modem from them.
Sad, and a bloody nuisance.
BT does that in the UK, but with its VDSL service I can use my own modem, although they are getting harder to find now that Netgear has stopped making them.
That's what you get when you have to rely on old technology.
The good thing about fibre and the use of the Optical Network Terminator (ONT) is that they don't seem to come in these omnibus devices.
Maybe pkliot should confirm that AT&T has forced them down that route.
Thank you for your response,
I didn't put it in AP mode, I'll put the IP into the DMZ when I get back to work and see if that fixes the problem.
