Uverse Home and Cisco RV325
So I have a Uverse Modem and Currently a Linksys E1500 which work to get connection to Internet.
Moving to a bigger place and wanted to expand the router plus add some QOS and maybe vlan with the gig service that is coming in.
But the Cisco RV325 and the Uverse Modem do not want to work together, get a Connected But Inactive on the RV325.
I can get the RV325 to work if you use same IP setup as on the Linksys and using it as pass through but its not connected to the WAN port on the RV325.
Uverse Modem Info
Manufacturer Motorola
Model Number NVG589
Serial Number 110319212578560
Software Version 9.1.0h12d34

In Setup, I have my router 192.168.x.1 showing as VLAN1 (and I do not have other VLAN's)
Under DHCP, 192.168.x.1 is my device IP address (correct) and DHCP internal is 192.168.x.100 - 149
Under System Summary, I show external IP, gateway and DNS under WAN 1
It is a fairly vanilla setup, one VLAN to start (the only one), DHCP, plug in and go.
VLAN is internal, WAN is external. If you have only one VLAN 1, it will connect to WAN 1 (no other WAN connection)
Simplify until it runs and then expand.

Ok so I did change the Firewall on the Modem to Passthrough / Manual, but now its over riding some of the VLANs and giving them the DHCP from the Uverse Modem and not the RV325.
If the modem is in Pass-through, it should let your Router get an External IP from the modem and the Router should be the DHCP server. This works for RV325, RV402G before that and RV042 before that.
Call you ISP, have them ensure the modem is in Pass-through and ask them to flush it so you may get a new IP from it.
some of the VLANs Delete the VLANs except number 1 and get it working. Trying to hook VLANs into a non-working circuit will be a hopeless mess.

Well I did figure it out, 1 it helps to make sure the VLAN enabled checkbox is enabled.
Also the modem and the router can't just be restarted they most be power cycled so that it clears whatever junk is still in the memory.
So thank thank you!

Thank you, just needed a second opinion and to remember to check a check box.
the way I have it set is:
cable connection: Cisco DPC3825 lan port 192.168.1.1 -> my router wan port management address 10.0.0.1 -> network (10.x.x.x network)

@keeblerjp - Thank you and I was happy to help. MY RV325 works well and I use it for site to site tunnels as well.

Is there a setting on the RV325 to make sure the VLANs are getting the correct WAN port connection, i havent messed with those as I thought default eveything would talk with everything else.
