AT&T Router Login
AT&T provides internet services (including U-verse and AT&T Fiber) in the US, typically using integrated gateways (modem/router combos). Accessing the gateway settings allows management of your home network.
How to Login to AT&T Router
Accessing your AT&T residential gateway settings is done via the default IP address 192.168.1.254. Unlike systems using username/password combinations, AT&T gateways require a specific Device Access Code to authorize configuration changes.
This Device Access Code is:
- A unique alphanumeric code.
- Printed on a sticker physically attached to your AT&T gateway (check all sides, bottom).
- Required only when you attempt to modify settings (like WiFi password, firewall rules), not just for viewing status information.
There is no generic default code; each gateway has its own unique code. Ensure you are connected to the AT&T network before navigating to 192.168.1.254. You can also manage some basic settings via the AT&T Smart Home Manager app, but the web UI offers more comprehensive options.
- Connect your computer or phone to the AT&T gateway's network via WiFi or Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and type 'http://192.168.1.254' into the address bar.
- The gateway interface will load, often showing status information first.
- To make changes (e.g., WiFi settings), you will be prompted for the 'Device Access Code'.
- Find the unique 10-digit Device Access Code printed on the sticker on the side or bottom of your AT&T gateway.
- Enter the Device Access Code when prompted.
- Click 'Submit' or 'Continue' to gain access to configurable settings.

Troubleshooting Issues with AT&T Router
Issues accessing or logging into your AT&T gateway at 192.168.1.254? Check these steps:
- Verify IP Address: Confirm you are using '192.168.1.254'.
- Check Connection: Ensure your device is connected to the AT&T gateway's network (WiFi or Ethernet).
- Find Device Access Code: Locate the correct code on the gateway's sticker. It's case-sensitive. Enter it accurately when prompted for changes.
- Browser Issues: Clear cache/cookies or use an incognito/private window. Try a different browser.
- Gateway Restart: Power cycle the AT&T gateway. Unplug its power cord (often green cable), wait 20-30 seconds, plug it back in. Wait several minutes for Broadband and Service lights to turn solid green.
- Factory Reset (Use Reset Button): If the gateway is malfunctioning or you suspect issues with the access code (highly unlikely it changes), find the red 'Reset' button (usually recessed). Press and hold it for at least 15-20 seconds. The gateway will reboot and restore factory settings. The Device Access Code remains the same (from the sticker). *Note: This erases custom WiFi names/passwords, firewall rules, etc.*
- Contact AT&T Support: If you cannot find the Device Access Code sticker or face persistent issues, contact AT&T technical support.
AT&T Router setup
Key tasks after accessing the AT&T gateway settings using the Device Access Code:
- Customize WiFi Network: Go to Home Network > Wi-Fi. Change the WiFi Network Name (SSID) and set a strong custom WiFi Password (Security Key). Manage 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands (often combined by default - 'Band Steering').
- Set Up Guest Network: Enable a separate Guest WiFi network under the Wi-Fi settings.
- Manage Firewall Settings: Go to Firewall > Settings. Adjust security levels or configure specific rules like Port Forwarding (NAT/Gaming).
- View Connected Devices: See devices currently connected under Home Network > Devices.
- Check Broadband Status: View connection statistics (sync rates, errors, uptime) under Broadband > Status.
- Update Firmware: Firmware updates are typically pushed automatically by AT&T. You can view the current version under System Information.
