Personal modem/router in lieu of AT&T rental
I would like to utilize my owner modem/router in lieu of the AT&T rental. Is this an option with their DSL services? I am trying to get away from paying the "rental" fee of $10/month for the rest of time.

Unfortunately you cannot get away from the rental fee of the Gateway (modem/router combo unit). It is a requirement of AT&T service.
You can use your own router if you prefer and connect it to the AT&T Gateway. Just remember that this does not remove the rental as you are still required to use the Gateway even if just for the modem purpose.

There’s no way around it. The AT&T modem is required in order to verify and communicate with the servers

You cannot get out of using the gateway or paying the monthly fee. You can connect a router to the gateway, put the gateway in IP passthrough and turn off the gateway WiFi. Then use your wireless router for wired and wireless devices.
