AT&T gateways don't support a true bridge mode, instead relying on IP Passthrough or DMZ. You can see a discussion of this In this thread.

Hey @Coliv00,

We are here to help with your inquiry. If you decide to use a third-party router there a two things you will need to do.

Research router compatibility to find the right fit.
Look into IP Passthrough and DMZ+.

Thanks. I plan to use the Unifi USG Pro to replace my current router. Any additional information would be appreciated.

Works fine but I would request new information on the process. Just to see if there are any updates to the process. There may be new equipment to consider.
