I hate those combo DSL/router things. I am going to guess that's causing the problem. See if AT&T has any firmware updates for it.

You may have to go buy a 'real' router manufactured by a more mainstream company, like a D-Link or Linksys. Then you'd use the combo doodad as a Modem only, and use the new router to actually handle the routing/AP duties.


The Denon doesn't pick up an address even though it is in DHCP mode and the router has DHCP enabled, so as you say there seems to be a compatibility problem. It sounds like my idea of using the netgear router may have promise, would I have to somehow disable the routing capabilities of the combo modem in order to use the two in tandem?
