R7900 connecting to BGW210

[johnnydc1971]

I will start by saying I am illiterate when it comes to this process so that being said I am trying to hook up my new R7900 to my ATT BGW210 modem. I have looked online and all of the step-by-step guides are telling me to go to the settings screen from my ATT log on screen. This was the first step and my screen doesn't look like that. It has no settings screen. HELP!  think I attached the screenshot below.

You're in a double nat. And ATT doesn't do a good job of allowing their devices to function properly in passthrough mode (modem only)

The easiest route for you to get it working (since you said you're a bit illiterate) would be to place the netgear in AP mode (access point). This disables its routing fuction and leaves the att device running as router.

You then have the option of leaving wifi running on the att router or disabling it. If you leave it running, seperate out the wireless channels on the att device from the netgear devices so they don't interfere with each other.
