Set up internet backup

Stay online if your fiber network goes down with the Smart Home Manager app and your AT&T unlimited wireless data.


Requirements

  • AT&T Fiber® and eligible AT&T Wireless℠ service with an unlimited data plan1
  • BGW320 or BGW620 AT&T All-Fi Hub®
  • AT&T Smart Home Manager app using a device on your AT&T Wireless account

How it works

If you experience a fiber outage, internet backup connects your All-Fi Hub to a device on your AT&T Wireless account. This keeps your hub and all connected devices online. (You should turn off any non-AT&T extenders during an outage to avoid interruptions. AT&T Extended Wi-Fi Coverage Service shouldn’t affect your backup.)

Once set up, Smart Home Manager sends a push notification if your internet backup is activated during an outage. When this happens, your hub connects to a participating mobile device in your home to keep you online until fiber services are restored. This takes less than a minute. Be sure to keep the mobile device charged so you don’t lose service.

Once fiber service is restored, your internet backup automatically turns off.

FYI: Internet backup deactivates if you cancel AT&T Fiber or AT&T Wireless, change your AT&T Wireless to a limited plan, or remove the Smart Home Manager app.

  1. Open the Smart Home Manager app.
  2. Tap Let’s go on the Internet Backup card.
