    I have at&t and their internet provides a modem-router. I am having trouble with the internet connection when i just use the white cord to the broadband link. However, if I use the modem-router I have internet access on the new router tp link but it is also working along side the modem-router from at&t and does not provide the quick download/ stream service. Any ideas to make this work? or do i need to call at&t to figure out the solution.

    Thanks for your demo of this product. Recently, I purchased this model and will start my setup after your response. I am currently using a refurbished replacement that TP-Link sent me since their first router was defective. I want to setup my new Archer AX21 and realized that I already have an Admin Password setup when I first setup the refurbished replacement of the same model. Do I need to create a new Admin Password when I setup the newly purchased one? Will the system be confused when I want to login later since they both are the same model and doesn't know that I want to keep the replacement as a backup? I appreciate any ideas you might have on doing this in a smart way.

As of right now I had my modem in the garage and my current router in my room(on top of garage) with the Internet cord going under through a wall and into in the router and an ethernet from router to PC. Will this still work with a different router not provided from my service provider. Thanks for the video! It looks like an easy set up if I could do it.

I am at a loss. I don't understand DNS and all shit enough to be messing with things. In my experience when you go down that Rabbit Hole it is just never ending. I wish it was just plug and play. 2023 and I have to rewrite the DNS still? Fuck this, it's going back... someone else can deal with this issue.
