Starting out with new technology and gadgets is always so exciting. I remember when I first changed the password of my own Wi-Fi. Even though I had read a lot about routers and Wi-Fis. I was still…nervous.

Those who are using AT&T as their ISPs and have also installed Netgear Nighthawk devices might be wondering how exactly to make it a smooth sail mastering both together.

In this topic we will discuss things like accessing router settings in Netgear Nighthawk, specifying the basic wireless settings in your Netgear Nighthawk for better security and internet connection.

And lastly, accessing attwifimanager with your Netgear Nighthawk!

And don’t get scared with all those technical sounding big words, I’ll explain everything easily and then you’ll be like – ‘huh, that was no biggie!’

What is Netgear?

This is a company’s name and these guys make networking hardware. Like surveillance IP cameras, wireless access points, DSL/cable gateways. 

But for the sake of this article all you should know is that they make some of the most advanced routers in USA.

What is Netgear Nighthawk?

Nighthawk is a product series name for the routers manufactured by Netgear brand. You can buy it from Amazon with discounted rate.

How to Modify your Netgear Nighthawk Router Settings for Better Performance?

Everything is perfectly preset in your Netgear Nighthawk router settings, the company recommends that you do not make any changes and leave them be.

But if you feel like you must change your network name, password, channel and mode for your personal satisfaction and maybe a slight bit better performance.

Here is how to do those things

  1. Open a browser from your device that is connected with this router.
  2. Either type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com 
  3. Enter username (admin) and password (password)
  4. Pick Wireless
  5. In Region list, select your region (you can’t change it in some locations)
  6. Select Enable SSID Broadcast 
  7. To change your network name, type a new one in Name (SSID) field
  8. To change the channel, select any number from the Channel list
  9. From Mode list, pick your mode
  10. Click on Apply

Get out and connect wirelessly to the network with the new settings.

Setting up Netgear Nighthawk with your AT&T Internet

Usually, people go for a Netgear Nighthawk router even after purchasing an AT&T connection because their devices are reported to be slower and cluttery by users.

These routers are pretty powerful third-party routers and so it’s been making a mark in hardware networking market since its inception.

It works great with Xfinity and it can also work with AT&T Fiber and AT&T U-Verse.

Here is How you Set Up your Netgear Nighthawk with AT&T Internet

Set Up Netgear Nighthawk with AT&T Internet
Set Up Netgear Nighthawk with AT&T Internet
  1. Make sure your computer is connected with AT&T gateway wither via Wi-Fi or an ethernet cable.
  2. Open your internet browser
  3. Type in 192.168.1.254
  4. The login credentials are always written on your AT&T gateway, use them to get in
  5. Now, stick one end of your ethernet cable from your AT&T’s LAN port (there are four, select any one of them) and the other into the WAN port of your Netgear Nighthawk.
  6. If you have a PACE modem type, go to the Firewall in your gateway settings you just logged into
  7. And select Netgear Nighthawk from the connected devices list in Applications, Pinholes and DMZ.
  8. It should be there as the only wired connection in that list, now click upon Allow All Applications to enable DMZplus mode.
  9. Restart all devices
  10. If you have an Arris BGW gateway, you will have to enable the IP Passthrough option so go to Firewall
  11. It will be located here, you will be now prompted to enter the access code of the device
  12. The code is printed on the modem itself.
  13. After entering, select DHCP Fixed and click upon your router.
  14. Save your settings
  15. Restart all devices

This whole process will ‘bridge’ your AT&T gateway to work only as a modem.

Make your Netgear Nighthawk Faster and More Stable

  • Access the gateway settings as previously described
  • Go to Wi-Fi
  • Here, disable both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi
  • Save and restart

By doing this you will allow your Netgear Nighthawk to not get interrupted by your AT&T gateway.

In case your AT&T gateway is blinking red now, restart it.
