Change Settings in an AT&T U-Verse Router:

AT&T u-verse is a fibre optic cable TV, digital phone and high-speed internet service line which currently runs one residential gateway and one wireless router branded for use with AT&T high-speed internet service. AT&T has been constantly providing quality service for its internet users and mobile devices and one such example is the U-Verse which allows their client to have telephone line cable and internet access using only one router. 

Accessing your AT&T router login will help you to open the web interface of your router where you can change some basic and advanced Wi-Fi settings along with configuring proper username and password for security purposes. 

The gateway is a device similar to a router used to connect multiple internet-ready devices to the same network and you must access the graphic user interface of the device to change the settings on your AT&T u-verse gateway or router. There are two types of AT&T u-verse router namely-

  • 2 wire DSL gateway model 27018HG – B
  • Motorola Wi-Fi business router model 3347

1. 2 Wire Gateway

Step 1: Go to the primary computer in your network where the gateway was initially hooked up to and connect to the gateway with an ethernet cable.

Step 2: Launch the web browser of the computer

Step 3: Type 192.168.1.254 in the address bar of your browser and press enter to open the user interface of the gateway

Step 4: To suit your preferences modify the settings of the gateway. For example- To change the security key (WEP) and the network name (SSID) of the device you need to go to the home network tab and click on the wireless setting to make your modifications.

2. For Motorola Netopia 3347

Step 1: Go to the primary computer in your network where the router was initially hooked up and connect the router with the ethernet cable

Step 2: Launch the web browser of the computer

Step 3: Type 192.168.1.254 in the address bar of the browser and press enter. Type admin in the username field and admin in the password option if you are prompted to enter a username and password and press enter to open the user interface of the router.

Step 4: Modify the settings of the router to suit your preferences. For example- Click on the wireless link to change the security key (WEP) and the network name (SSID) of the device. If prompted to make modifications, check the box next to enable wireless and click the yellow triangle in the top right corner and again click on save and restart.

Changing the Default Login Credential

Your AT&T u-verse router comes with a default username and password and you should change it so that you don't get exposed to hacking or other security issues.

Step 1: To access your web interface login into your AT&T router

Step 2: Choose LAN and then Wi-Fi option by going to the settings tab

Step 3: After scrolling down select the user network option

Step 4: Click on the box next to the Wi-Fi network name SSID to change the name of the router and then enter your preferred Wi-Fi password or username combination.

Step 5: To apply the changes you have made click on the Save button.
