I got the new AT&T version of the modem today.  It practically worked
out of the box.  It has IPv6 info in several places, including the
ability to turn IPv6 off. 

A little tip.  If you buy a used modem with user/password info already
there, it does connect and look like it is internet active but it
isn't.  With old user/password it connects but it doesn't allow any
connections.  Sort of weird but once I put in my user/password info, it
worked like it should.  Didn't expect it to connect at all really. 

The router will be here Monday I think. 

Thanks to all who helped on this.
