I got ATT Fiber Installed Today..

Plug your computer directly into the router and test the internet. Your result is why fiber is so great.

Your experience beyond that point is predicated on your equipment, which has nothing to do with fiber. If I had to guess, your “extenders” aren’t configured correctly. Call and annoy ATT about it.

“extenders”

That's why I tell everybody on this board to just drop cable anywhere and everywhere. Interference issues with neighbors, shitty configs, backhaul usage... Just no. You waste more time troubleshooting and trying to explain to a phone rep that whenever your neighbor cooks microwave popcorn you lose signal (leaky microwaves when using 2.4Ghz).

Should be really simple. They make these very user friendly. The app will pretty much do it for you.

Will it also require extenders?

It comes with 3 mesh points. Just spread those out throughout house and you will have even signal throughout. You can even add more later. Probably unnecessary unless you're pushing like 5k sf.

Thanks. Bot it. Stay tuned

That's fine. Probably shouldn't complain about your "fiber internet" though, in that case

So dont call AT&T and bug them about it?

the extenders are blinking red

So you know what kind of extenders they gave you?

If they are the AirTies they gave you outdated equipment. A firmware update a few months ago to A&T gateways (at least for Uverse customers) bricked the AirTies extenders.

Tell me why Fiber internet is so great again.

your first mistake was using ATT for extenders instead of buying a cheap, rock-solid mesh system on amazon.

eta and like the other person said, hardwire everywhere possible especially for devices at the opposite end of the house. i dont own a single device with an ethernet port that i don't have plugged in.

I have ATT fiber as well. One easy way to tell whether the problem is on their end or yours is to do a speed test from the router itself. If the speed test from the router is showing your advertised speed, then you know the problem is on your end. It's probably flaky Wifi.

I would never use Wifi for gaming, I don't care what router is being used. Wi-Fi is not reliable and introduces latency.

Wi-Fi is fine for connecting your phone or using it for Netflix on a TV. But I would never use it for a desktop PC or gaming console.

If the router is too far away from your console to hard wire it, well go run you some cat6 cable baw.
