bridge mode setup?
How do I set my airport utility on my Macbook Pro to bridge mode as our laptops are saying that another device is using our IP address since we have a Uverse router connected to airport

Your AirPort router should already be configured to operate in "Off (Bridge Mode)".....if it is set up correctly.
Verify this as follows on your Mac:
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort router
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
The setting for Router Mode should read "Off (Bridge Mode)". If it doesn't, then change the setting as needed and click Update to save the new setting.
If the Uverse router continues to be confused about what IP addresses it has issued to what product, you will need to check with ATT support for assistance.

Bob- Thanks will check and see. If it is set in bridge mode already what do I need to tell ATT folks since I think their router is the issue as we never had the problem before switching.

When I went to the airport utility it only has Internet, airport base, airport extreme models showing. Do I need to go to my husbands laptop and see if his has airport router.

I clicked on Airport base and it is set for Bridge. So I guess I need to call ATT/uverse. Thanks and get them to rest their router.
Before you call ATT, try the following if you have not already done so.
Perform a complete power cycle on the entire network as follows:
Power off every device on the network....computers , printers, mobile devices, etc.....in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Start the Uverse modem/router and let it run 2-3 minutes
Start the next device that is connected to the Uverse and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time the same way about a minute apart until the entire network is powered back up
Keep an eye on the network
A power cycle like this gives the Uverse modem/router a fresh start and an opportunity to get everything organized again on the network that it is controlling.
If things work OK for a month or two and then you start to see the duplicate IP address messages, that would be time to perform a complete network power cycle again.
Thanks so much. Will try that tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed. The guy from ATT who came to set s up was an Apple person, so he helped us connect everything. He gave me his cell number as well if my attempt does not work.
