Troubleshooting
I don’t have a smartphone or tablet to download Smart Home Manager.
Go to att.com/SmartHomeManager from any computer to register in the desktop version. You will need working internet to access the page.
I don’t have cellular data service to register in Smart Home Manager.
Once your Gateway is connected and powered up, you may register online using your home internet connection at att.net/Uverse
For wireless connections: Go to the Wireless Network Settings on your device or computer. Select your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and enter the 12-character password from the yellow sticker on your Gateway.
For wired connections: Plug the YELLOW Ethernet cord into the Gateway.
My Power light is amber. This is a normal part of the power-up process. Do not unplug any cables during this time. My Broadband light isn’t solid green during power-up. Check the service activation date. You can only set up your service after 2 p.m. on the activation date (see packing slip).
Check connections and power. Make sure the green data cable is plugged into a working wall jack and all cables and cords are connected properly and secured.
Unplug the power for 15 seconds and then plug it back in. Wait 15 minutes for the lights to turn solid green. If red, try another outlet or a different wall jack.
My Service light (if applicable) isn’t solid green during power-up. Unplug the power for 15 seconds and then plug back in. Wait 15 minutes for the lights to turn solid green. If still red, contact us for support.
My phone doesn’t have a dial tone. (for customers with digital phone service)
Check lights and phone cable. Broadband light and Service light (if applicable) should be solid green, and the gray phone cable should be plugged into the Phone Lines 1 & 2 port on the Gateway.
I hear static on my phone line. (for traditional phone service only)
Make sure filters are properly installed on all wall jacks with connected devices. (including wall-mounted phones)

FAQs AT&T 180450947
Can I put up my own AT&T internet?
It’s simple, so don’t worry! You may set up your internet by following our straightforward instructions. Both technical know-how and tools are not needed. Unpack your convenient kit, then use the provided wires to connect your new gateway. Connect your devices to your network once it has started.
Why won’t my AT&T internet connect?
Restart (power cycle) your AT&T gateway. Remove the gateway’s plug from the wall outlet, then wait two minutes before re-plugging it. Verify your connection has been restored once the Power, Broadband, and Service lights on your gateway turn green.
Can I connect to AT&T Internet without using their router?
Your internet connection won’t function without your AT&T modem/router. The option to connect your own router is available. It’s crucial to configure an IP Passthrough when using the AT&T modem/router with a second router.
Can I only use AT&T for my internet?
For qualified families, Access from AT&T offers affordable internet service with plans starting at $30 per month and download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Free installation, no yearly commitment, and in-home Wi-Fi® are all included.
How much time does ATT need to activate the Internet?
The whole installation of AT&T Fiber normally takes four to six hours. Installation may involve swapping out old copper wire for fresh fibre connections to provide you with the greatest possible internet connection.
Is Wi-Fi installed by AT&T?
Be aware: Your internet won’t be installed by one of our technicians. Simply have your gateway shipped to you without being activated so you may set it up on your own. Any wiring done inside will be your responsibility. You might need to connect phones to your wireless gateway rather than a phone jack if your phone jacks lack dial tones.
What tools are needed for AT&T fiber Internet?
You need a modem to connect your home to the internet if you want fiber internet. This is the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) for fibre internet that the AT&T technician will install in your house. In order for your devices to connect to the home network, you also need a Wi-Fi gateway.
What is the AT&T router’s brand name?
Arris BGW210-700 from AT&T When you decide to rent equipment from AT&T, you will receive a device called the AT&T Arris, which functions as both a modem and a router. This device features VDSL2 connectivity, which enables faster internet speeds and lossless connectivity, just like the TRENDnet modem.
Is a phone line necessary for AT&T internet?
No, getting internet access in remote locations does not require a landline phone. Several internet service providers once required a home phone in order to provide internet access (such as AT&T and CenturyLink). The only exception to this is dial-up internet (which still requires an active landline phone).
Is AT&T Wi-Fi available everywhere?
Study up on AT&T Wi-Fi. You can access high-speed Internet with AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in public locations including cafes, airports, and restaurants. They are accessible everywhere.
