I have an Asante FriendlyNET FR3000 Series Cable/DSL Router working with Comcast Internet service. I'm using an RCA cable modem. I think this router is the same basic model as the original poster's. My set-up all works fine. So I don't think it is the case that there is an inherent problem with the Asante brand. In fact I picked Asante for my router because they seemed to have the best Mac support at the time. I was able to get my iMac and router working very easily when I installed it. I just followed the instruction manual and things went smoothly. However, after having the router for about a week, I tried to change some setting through the web interface and somehow crashed the router. It took me a few calls to Asante tech support to get it back up again. But I found the Asante tech support people to be very helpful and patient. This was about a year ago, so maybe things have gone downhill there since then. That would be too bad. Eventually the answer was to jumper two pins in the back of the router while powering it up, in effect shorting the pins to cause it to do a hard reset. There are supposed to be easier ways to re-set (such as powering off and powering on, but those did not work in my case). After getting it re-set that time, it has worked flawlessly. So... I would recommend trying to install the router again. Now that you have your AT&T service working again, Asante tech support should be more helpful. At least I sure hope so. Good luck!
