I actually figured it out. AT&T didn't properly set my modem in bridged mode like I'd asked them to. So the modem was giving my router a 192.168.1.x IP.
After they changed the modem settings and my router got a public IP, I'm working.

Hi mahimahi524,
1. What is the firmware version of the router? Make sure to update it.
2. Reset the router to factory default and reconfigure. Regenerate a new certificate after the reset.
