will this work inplace of my att wifi modem null

NO This is a ROUTER, not a MODEM. You require the AT&T modem to convert the signal from AT&T. You can then plug your router (if needed) into the AT&T modem. If the AT&T modem has more than one ethernet port, you do NOT use a router. If it has one ethernet port, YOU DO use a router. If you need more than the 4 or 5 ethernet ports provided by a router or modem/router combination, you use a "switch" to expand the number of ethernet ports available.

It is not a replacement for your modem. Your modem would connect to this if your modem was not a router also.

No. You will still need a modem part of your att unit to connect to your Internet provider. This is only a wireless network device. You could use this netgear and your att device together if you'd like.

It is only a router. It is not a modem. If you are only replacing a router, then it will be great. If you also need the modem, then this will only accomplish part of what you want. Dependent on if you have DSL or u-verse, it will require a different modem. You cannot use a DOCSIS modem.

This item is router not a modem.
