It actually has an article in the manual on doing just that.  I don't use the AT&T wifi because it's not behind my firewall.  I use 2 of these and it is great

Answer

Yes, you can use this to provide wireless networking. You cannot use this as a range extender for the AT&T wifi, however. You would use the Alien to provide wireless instead of the AT&T wifi. The wifi on the AT&T gateway should be turned off and then the Alien placed into bridged mode. Once you have the Alien configured to provide your wireless networking, you can also add one or more additional Alien routers as mesh points around your location to expand the range of the wifi signal.

Don’t waste the technology by bridging with att router. Ditch the att router and step up to higher quality.

This is only designed as a mesh point for other Alien routers.
