Airport Extreme (802.11n) and ATT U-verse wireless router (2-wire)

I am attempting to use my new airport extreme with my new U-verse service. Prior to the U-verse service my router worked fine. I have to use the U-verse router as it is the brains behind the internet/TV applications of the U-verse service. I tried to run a eithernet cable from the U-verse router to the Airport Extreme, but the U-verse router says that I cannot use a third-party router behind the U-verse router. The U-verse router gives me the option to resolve the problem and it makes some configuration changes. The U-verse router show my Airport Extreme as a DMZ+ device. I can use my computers that are on the Airport Extreme network but my Xbox's will not work.

Is there a way to use the Airport Extreme as a wireless hub and not have the Airport Extreme compete with the U-verse router to assign IP addresses?

Thanks,

Larry

Run an ethernet cable from a spare LAN port on your "U-verse router" to one of the LAN ports on the Airport Extreme Base Station. Then run the Airport Utility, and configure the Base Station so that it does not distribute IP addresses (ie so-called "bridge mode").

What this will accomplish is allowing the "U-verse router" to perform DHCP server and internet connection sharing services for your entire LAN. The Base Station's DHCP server and router will be disabled, allowing it to function as a wired-to-wireless bridge device.
