If you visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

you can feed in the model number and find all the documentation for your hardware.

You can find the model number on the label on the device.

 

Begin with the Quick Start guide.

If you're existing dsl modem/router device is running in router mode, you'll be in a double nat which can make the RAX show as "no internet" sometimes. or cause other issues.

You can place the RAX in AP mode or configure the att dsl modem router in passthrough/modem only mode. ATT isn't know for their devices performing this properly. Just an fyi.
