Common AT&T Issues During Outages

Complete internet outage

No connection to any websites or services, gateway shows red broadband light or offline status.

Fiber service degradation

AT&T Fiber customers may experience reduced speeds, packet loss, or intermittent connectivity during outages.

DSL or U-verse issues

Older DSL and U-verse services may show sync problems, slow speeds, or frequent disconnections.

Regional or weather-related outages

Entire areas may lose service during infrastructure failures, severe weather, or fiber cuts.

Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume AT&T Is Down

  1. 1

    Restart your AT&T gateway

    Unplug the gateway for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait 3-5 minutes for all lights to stabilize.

  2. 2

    Check gateway lights

    Broadband light should be solid green. Red or flashing lights indicate line or service issues.

  3. 3

    Test with ethernet cable

    Connect directly to gateway via ethernet to rule out WiFi issues. If wired works, the problem is WiFi configuration.

  4. 4

    Check for local outages

    Visit att.com/outages or use the myAT&T app to see if there's a reported outage in your area.

  5. 5

    Contact AT&T support

    If troubleshooting fails and no outage is reported, contact AT&T support via app, website, or 1-800-288-2020.
