Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume AT&T Is Down
- 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.

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