Is my AT&T modem also a router?

Your AT&T modem/router is required for your internet connection to work. You have the option to connect your own router. When a secondary router is connected to the AT&T modem/router it will be important to set up an IP Passthrough.

3. You will then be directed to a login page.
4. Once done, you will find your router’s web interface and access the Settings.

NOTE

The default admin login is attadmin. The admin login can be found at the bottom of the device.

What’s the difference between a router and a modem?

Your modem is a box that connects your home network to the wider Internet. A router is a box that lets all of your wired and wireless devices use that Internet connection at once and also allows them to talk to one another without having to do so over the Internet.

Often, your Internet service provider will give you one box that serves as both modem and router (just as AT&T router here) but they’re still different technologies. Do note that, not all modems include routers and not all routers have modems.

With the aforesaid, you need both router/modem, integrated or not, in order to provide an Internet connection for all the devices in your home. We also hope you’ve found your way through accessing your AT&T router at this point.
