Is it ADSL, or UVerse?

Back when I did ADSL, I used Zhone 6211/6212, but I think those are discontinued now.

I might be able to find them.  I'm not sure I even saw those settings in
the current DSL Router.  It came from AT&T and just worked.  In the
current DSL World, are things still PPPoE, or since they have a pair of
wires back to the DSLAM, the authenticate you that way?

I was just converting a customer from Frontier that had a Nighthawk
Router.  I didn't pay too much attention to it, but it had a Drop down
box to select your DSL Provider.  I don't remember if it had PPPoE
Settings in it or not.

I would get any cheap DSL modem and set it for RFC1483 bridging with VPI=0 and VCI=35. Last time I needed one, I found one from Actiontec at Best Buy or Frys. The Frys website says they are out of stock at the Downers Grove store though.

Then set up your router of choice to do PPPoE, I assume you know the customer's PPPoE credentials.

I'm doing work at an office that is fed with AT&T DSL.  The AT&T router
is a piece of Garbage.  I can't disable the internal DHCP Server, or do
any IPV4 port forwarding (however, it is handing out IPv6 addresses)  On
the inside of the network, I already have unifi and Managed switches, so
I just need a hardwired DSL router with no Wifi.  Any recommendations
for one?  I'd love to use a Mikrotik, but I don't think they ever came
out with a Routerboard with a DSL Port did they?
