att.com/smarthomemanager: Easy AT&T Internet Installation Guide

The AT&T Internet Installation Guide provides users with an easy-to-follow, three-step process to set up their internet service. Before starting, users should ensure that all items are included in their kit, including the Wi-Fi Gateway and phone filters if required. The first step involves registering for the internet service by downloading the AT&T Smart Home Manager app on a mobile device or visiting att.com/SmartHomeManager to complete the registration process. The second step involves installing phone filters for traditional home phone service, while the third step is to connect the Gateway to the appropriate ports and wait for it to power up and update. Once the Gateway is connected, users can personalize their Wi-Fi network name and password through the Smart Home Manager app. The troubleshooting section provides solutions to common issues such as not having a smartphone or tablet to download the app or if the Power or Broadband lights do not turn solid green during power-up. For additional support, users can visit att.com/smarthomemanager or call 800.288.2020.
