The AT&T router will arrive in a box with the router and all wirings needed to connect the router in the house. Also, all the instructions about how to connect and all will be given inside the box.
So we have to follow the instructions given and connect the router to our home.
2. Turn on the AT&T Router
Once the router is set and connected to the house, we can turn the switch on. After that, we can just wait to get it connected.
It will take near about 10 minutes to start working. Once the green light starts blinking on the router we can say that the router has been turned on.

After getting the router connected and turning it on, we will be able to start using it. To connect it to our mobile device, we have to use the wireless network name and password which will be listed on the side of the router.
On the mobile device, we have to first go to the WiFi setting. Then find the name of our WiFi. Once we find it we have to enter the password of our router.
In the case of the computer, we have to plug in an extra wire in the router and the same wire we have to join to our computer. Once we do this the WiFi will be automatically connected to our computer.
4. Open a Web Browser

Mostly for AT&T Routers, the default IP addresses are the same such as 192.168.1.254, etc.
6. Enter the AT&T Router Default Username and Password
Once the router’s main menu appears, commonly this particular router won’t ask for any default username or password. If in any case a default username and password is given there, we will have to enter the same.
In the other case, if there is no default password or username, we can try the following few steps.
- Login Username: admin or (leave blank)

If any login prompt arrives, we have to not worry. All we have to do is reset the device.
