802.11N Gateway?
It's been what, 4 years now for uVerse? 802.11N is now a fully ratified standard, and has been for years. Most every laptop, tablet, and cellphone is now shipping with built in 802.11N support. 802.11AC draft gear should start shipping this fall! I think most of us are sick and tired of having to put a second wireless router behind our 2Wire router for uVerse, and then not be able to use all the neat new WiFi remote apps for our cellphone's, including the most recent uVerse app. Seriously, it's time for AT&T to defecate or get off the pot and release either an 802.11N gateway, or an 802.11AC draft gateway. When can we expect to see AT&T make this very minor technological update and join the rest of us in the 21st Century?

And wireless N would have even less range. G is better for longer distances.

They do have "N" gateways. If you want to drop your TV and VOIP and go back to ADSL. There's the Pace 4111N and the Motorola NVG510.

If I'm not wrong, the stock 802.11g max speed is 54 mbps. I have a dual band N receiver that maxes out at 450+450...

If you're inquiring about home networking, that's not ATT's issue and you SHOULD have to buy a router in that scenario. I'm sure ATT will roll out a 802.11N RG soon, but it shouldn't be an urgency for them.

Just because AT&T offers a slow internet connection doesn't mean all the computers and devices in my house want to talk TO EACH OTHER on a slow connection as well. Some of us have multiple devices that interact with each other, regardless of the internet. Why cripple my home network because AT&T can't deliever a tolerable speed? It's called "home networking", "internet connecting."

Home networking and internet connecting are completely separate mediums. One refers to WAN one refers to LAN. What type of work are you doing that you need to have a large amount of throughput on a LAN? Certainly nothing that most users have demand for.
