Securing your wireless gateway/router

Close
One of the most important things you can do to manage your usage is to secure your wireless gateway or router. If you use Wi-Fi at home and you have not secured it with a password, someone with a computer or Wi-Fi-enabled device nearby could access your home network, and their use of your High Speed Internet Service would count towards your data plan.

If you connect to the internet with AT&T-provided Wi-Fi equipment, your connection is likely already secured with your 10-digit Wi-Fi Network Password(WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access). For AT&T provided equipment, look on the back of your gateway for the 10-digit password.

If you are unable to wirelessly connect to the Internet, here are the steps to get connected and to start surfing with Wi-Fi:


You should now be safely connected to wireless Internet. More detailed instructions can be found in our online self-help. If you use a third party Wi-Fi router with an AT&T modem, please refer to their technical materials on how to secure Wi-Fi with a password. These materials are typically online and available at your manufacturer's support website.
