Computer Joe,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Maybe a bit more explanation will explain what I am getting at.

 

I understand the two separate modem concept and have the modem for both the cable feed as well as (obviously) the UVersre. I also have my house CAT-6 hardwired independent of Uverse, with all computers plugged in to the network.

 

In answer to the dual service question, I am sort of a redundancy type of guy and would like to keep the Uverse as a backup. (it was a severe test of my undiagnosed OCD to lose the landline for my phone)

 

I guess my question should more be asked as such. If I plug my cable modem into my network and add it to the same subnet as the rest of my network, will Uverse freak out if I set it up as a separate gateway? Would/should I have to set up an additional router (with the cable modem on one subnet and the Uverse world on another?)

 

I hope that clarifies my question better.

 

Thanks again

I get ya now, redundancy.
Well, your cleanest solution would be a Dual WAN Router like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124160
