There is no technical reason for AT&T to lock this down. I might
understand this for the VOIP and IPTV segments of the gateway. Those
probably have very complex and proprietary DHCP configurations. But
for the Internet data segment, not allowing the user to redirect the
Primary DNS spec is not justifiable. I may be able to use a Ubiquity
EdgeX router to set up a user space downstream from the residential
gateway using a totally different address space from the default
192,168.1.0/24, but I'm running into a WiFi conflict between the
gateway and the EdgeX router I haven't yet been able to resolve.
If you want to go down the route of setting up another router and WiFi
network, you don't have to care about the ISP's WiFi. Just set up your
own network and ignore theirs. Use a different channel, a different
SSID, just treat theirs as if it were a neighbour's.
