Having trouble?
Here are a few common issues to check:
What is your service activation date?
Do not attempt to install your services until 8pm
8pm
on the date provided to you by AT&T. You can
find this date on your packing slip.
Still having problems? Many issues can be resolved with three simple steps:
1. Check your connections.
Verify that cables and cords on all devices are connected as specified in steps 1A and 1B. Cables
usually make an audible "click" when secure. If connections are secure and you are still unable to
connect to the Internet, try another phone jack. Make sure the phone jack has a dial tone.
2. Power down, power up.
Shut down your computer, and unplug the battery backup unit and any other devices from the back
of the gateway. Wait 15 seconds and then plug devices back in, making sure the gateway's Power
light is on. You should see a solid green Power light indicating a successful power connection (if the
light is not on, try another power outlet). Then turn your computer back on.
Important: When you power down, you will temporarily lose your at&t U-verse tV service,
your tV/DVR connection, and your phone service (if you have at&t U-verse Digital Voice).
3. Wait for blinking indicator lights.
Wait for blinking indicator lights to turn solid green (may take up to two minutes), then attempt to
access the Internet.
Specific issues
I have a home security system, health alarm, or water
meter monitor.
You will need special installation assistance. Call 1.800.288.2020
to schedule an appointment with an AT&T U-verse service
technician or call your monitoring provider. Additional charges
will apply for professional installation services from an AT&T
U-verse service technician.
My Power indicator light turns amber during the
power up sequence.
Don't worry. This is a normal part of the power up sequence—
just remember not to unplug the battery backup unit or green data
cable when the light is still amber. At the end of the sequence, the
Broadband and Service indicator lights will be solid green.
