Trust me on this one as I have gotten the call before. Bypass any port forwarding on the AT&T and do the forwarding on the router you install. When the AT&T modem releases the genie, and it will, you have lost your cams until you go out there and fix it. Most ISP's dont block any ports so cable and dsl are the easiest to setup because you usually attach a router to them where you then port forward. The problem is when you get what I call a all in one device. Dont do it if you can. Unfortunately with AT&T the modem does everything. DMZ is a good idea but is a service call waiting to happen.

You want your forwarding to work after the AT&T modem has been replaced and make sure to use DDNS to track the IP. I have around 50 network view cam systems online and have no network service calls with the above rules. The first thing the idiot on the phone tells the customer to do is a hard reset on the modem which erases anything you setup.
