“Given you have a cable modem to connect to, it seems straightforward. In case of ATT Uverse the gateway provides the routing, dhcp etc. Can it be configured to bridge with gateway and disable DHCP? I don't have ability to turn it off in gateway.”

Yes, Mark. When in Bridge Mode, your Velop will not have its own separate network. All nodes and client devices connected to your Velop Wi-Fi or to the existing modem-router (gateway) will be on the same network and can communicate with other devices within the network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can turn off the DHCP and set it to bridge mode. Some of the features are not available in bridge mode, such as guest network and parental controls. I have installed six nodes in a small business network that needed to retain the guest network capability. To do this, I had to leave the Velop system in router mode, put a small switch in path between the base unit and the network segments I needed to install a few of the nodes hardwired in order to get them communicating since the satellite nodes have to be downstream of the base node when hardwired. The caused me to have to update the printer configuration on computers for any printers on those segments since they now have an IP address from the Velop NAT. I also had to add a route to the main router for the Velop NAT so one of the applications would know how to get back to the Velop NAT network. If they add the capability for a guest network when in bridge mode, then I will change it so everything not on a guest SSID will be on the same network address range (no NATs on the segment).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Think you would be able to achieve this but you should just call Linksys support and ask them before you buy it
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, set it up like you are using it as a router. Once all points are up then switch it to bridge mode. I too use AT&T and needed to do this.
