tried resetting it, no luck. I got it from ATT u-verse.
I had it when i first plugged it in but afterwards, it just disappeared


Hey Pteroduck

I used to work for ATT as an install tech.
Try doing this.

Go to 192.168.1.1 in a web browser
Enter the key displayed on the bottom back of your 2wire router to gain access to the settings portion

What your going to need to do is change the wireless protection settings from whatever the settings are on (WPA/PSK/WEP/Others) to a different type of encryption.
This sometimes solves a drop in connection or failing to connect on certain types of wireless adapters or on board wireless card.

Now if the 2wire router is just not even giving a wireless signal(not showing up on your available wireless connections) then it is possible you have a bad RG (2wire Router).
If that is the case call up ATT and tell them your RG is bad and not giving a wireless connection.
They will send a tech out and do to it being an ATT equipment issue, you should not be billed for it. But if it is some settings you changed, they will bill you, so make sure to change settings and then do a complete reset before calling.


P.S. Keep me updated please Edited by SoulZ

i cant find the wifi signal

I tried changing the encryption,but that didnt work. I dont think its bad because it originally worked when i got it at first. Like when i first set it up and didnt do anything it worked with everything.

Did you disable SSID broadcasting?

 

My 2Wire modem/router also from ATT Uverse is just as bad...I use another router behind it and set the 2wire router to DMZ the other router. It's complicated but 10000% better than using the ATT router directly. :lol:

no SSID isnt disabled, its still enabled :P

Ok next step is this.

 

Find another wireless device, either a laptop or a smartphone and try to pick up the wireless signal. If you can not find it on any wireless devices, then your RG is bad and need to call up ATT and ask them to replace it.

 

A lot of the RG's in circulation for ATT uverse are refurbished and could be that it was never fixed properly.

 

Best Regard,

My ipod cant find it either but it could before when i first had it a day ago


Ipod cant pick it up,
K great this really helps.
It is on the side of ATT.
Either somewhere in their systems, they have the wireless locked on disable (a problem I had run into several times in the field) or the RG unfortunately shorted out right after it was installed. Either way its on ATT's end. So you are going to have to get ATT back out there to fix it, since it is so close to install date, they should be able to get a tech out fairly quickly.

The tech should have left his business card, try giving him a call and ask if he can talk to his manager to let him go back and fix the issue real quick.
^ Would be the quickest way to possibly get the tech to go out there quicker

-or-
Call the 1800 number that is on the card to talk to tech support and tell them the wireless has not worked since the tech left.


Good Luck!

I have had my 2Wire for about 3 years and have also installed several others

From your browser, in the internet address, type in 192.168.1.254 - this will take you to the 2Wire Firmware

 

After you have logged in - on some models that is not necessary - click on the 'Home Network' icon at the top

There is a box that says 'Wireless Settings - click on 'Edit'

You will be required to enter a password - usually this is 'admin' - on some you just hit enter

You are now on the 'Configure the Wireless Network' screen

Under 'Identify Network' you must enable 'SSID Broadcast' - the router will fill in the Network Name and you can use channel 1

Under 'Wireless Security' you must enable 'Wireless Network Security' - Authentication = WPA2-PSK (highest security/WEP-Open is lowest)

Select 'Use Custom Pass Phrase' and then enter your pass code - you will require this code on your wireless devices.

You do not need MAC Filtering

Additional Settings (defaults recommended) will set themselves

 

Good Luck
