Steve,
I spent 6 years using AT&T modems, not routers. Used 3 different brands.
Sorry, can not recall who
the MFG's were, but, I do recall they came to me pre-programmed for the
Bell South network I was on.
All I got was an RJ45 cable to my chosen router's WAN port. In 9/2010 I
converted to Fiber service and,
I fired AT&T & BellSouth DSL service.
I seem to recall that any/all 'authentication' is done via the modem and
the service provider. LOL! Yes, Bro,
you have that last comment nailed down tight!

Does anyone have any experience with AT&T DSL Modems/routers?
This is what my friend down in Florida is hooked up to. What we need
to do is replace his old box with the one I sent him. As of right
now, I don't even know if that box is wired or wireless network. It's
situated next to the router and it's 8 years old, so I'm almost sure
that it's wired. So I'm assuming that all they need to do is hook up
the new box, turn it on and they'll be connected. All the
authentication is done by the modem/router. Or does AT&T do something
stupid? (boy, what a question, the answer is almost always yes to that).
Thanks...Steve
