I recently upgraded to AT&T U-Verse, however the modem/router I was provided is terrible. It always drops wireless connection. I have a netgear wireless modem/router that works well, how do I bridge the connection from 2Wire to Netgear?
2Wire model: 3801HGV FLX
Netgear model: N600 Wireless Dual Band DGND3700v2

Set your Netgear to work as an access point only, either through an internal setting or by turning of DHCP service. Then connect the LAN ports of the two devices with an Ethernet cable. Those two steps will bypass the router functions of the Netgear. If you don't want to use the WiFi on the 2 Wire at all, go into its settings and turn off the WiFi.
