I recently upgraded from ATT DSL to ATT Uverse. Unfortunately its the only game in town on the street i live on.
DSL worked great but was only a 1.5 MB connection need more bandwidth so I upgraded to uverse internet to get to 3MB.
Since then I have nothing but issues. I have my whole house wired with CAT 6 for several tv's and bd players which are connected via a 8 port gigabit dynamex switch. This was plug and play with att dsl at my new house and charter at my old house.
The nvg510 only has 4 ports and I need 6 additional for my cat 6 runs to connect all tv's and bd player to my media server.
The issue is when i plug in the switch the gateway it kills the connection on all ports on the gateway and the switch.
Networking does not get any simpler than a switch.
Does the nvg510 not support switches?
Do i need to buy a gigabit router to connect to the gateway and then connect my switch to the router for this to work?
If the gateway needs to be configured what are the settings?
Thank you in advance.
I called att tech support several times and they are useless.
I cannot be the only guy in America who connects a switch to the nvg510 gateway and it quits working.
Also the DNS time out issue is something att needs to fix. How embarrassing the guy who set it up set the time out to short and it does not help that the nvg510 is a piece of ****. Which i confirmed from several blogs.
