So, let's get started. Various equipment combinations are used by AT&T for the hardware. Currently, the company is selling equipment that is high-performing and robust.
The only drawback here is that every router device does not have the same interface. However, it does have hardware diversity. This increases compatibility with the supported hardware. Note the hardware that you received when you started with the AT&T service.
Change in the security settings is the first thing that one needs to do after you start with the service. The password needs to be changed whenever you start using a new internet service. This secures your network from unauthorized access.
Below are the steps that you need to carry out to change the AT&T password.
Step 1: Go to the side of the modem and look at the sticker. There, you will see the IP address that you need to enter for the configuration purpose.
