 AT&T recommends router pass-through if you don't want to use their router. However, it must remain in the path. However, you can turn off the Wi-Fi on the router and use your own access point for Wi-Fi, which is what I do and what you recommended. I do not get how AT&T forces you to use their router, but cable companies cannot do this. Okay, thanks, Dave, for the clarification. Yeah, that was a tricky one.
