5 Ways to Get More from Your AT&T Home Wi-Fi

Simple tips for stronger coverage and faster speeds

Got AT&T Fiber or Internet at home? These practical tips help you get the most from your Wi-Fi network and the free AT&T Smart Home Manager app.

1. Place your gateway centrally

Your AT&T All-Fi™ gateway works best in a central location, elevated off the floor, away from thick walls and large metal objects.

2. Use Smart Home Manager

Download the AT&T Smart Home Manager app to see who's connected, pause Wi-Fi for specific devices, run speed tests, and set parental controls.

3. Consider All-Fi extenders

Large homes or multi-story layouts may benefit from AT&T All-Fi extenders to eliminate dead zones in bedrooms, garages, or home offices.

4. Wire critical devices when possible

Gaming consoles, desktop PCs, and smart TVs often perform best with an Ethernet connection — freeing Wi-Fi bandwidth for phones and tablets.

5. Upgrade your plan if needed

If multiple people stream 4K video, game online, and work from home simultaneously, a higher-speed Fiber plan (500 Mbps or 1 GIG) may be worth it. Our agents can help you decide.
