I have a Regional Gateway (RG) now which contains a UDSL modem, a router and 
jacks for 2 phone lines and 2 Ethernet connections and an HDMI jack for the TV. 
 Some of these RGs can have the password changed by the user and this 
particular one is no different, but the password it has built-in is so good, I 
left it that way.  It is different than the Device Access code, but not as easy 
to memorize.  AT&T has yet to enable IPv6 in the RG, although I have asked them 
about it several times.  IPCONFIG will show a temporary one, but it is local 
and not enabled for WAN.  Everyone I spoke to about it at AT&T gave me a 
different answer, leading me to believe that the left hand sometimes doesn't 
know what the right hand is doing.
