Elevate Your Business with AT&T Business Fiber: The Ultimate Guide to High-Speed Internet Equipment
As a small business owner, I understand the importance of reliable, high-speed internet. It’s the backbone of our operations, enabling us to connect with customers, collaborate with team members, and stay competitive at the moment.
That’s why I’ve chosen AT&T Business Fiber, and I’m excited to share my experience with their top-notch equipment.
The Heart of Your Internet Connection: The Wi-Fi Gateway
At the core of your AT&T Business Fiber setup is the Wi-Fi gateway. This powerful device connects your business to AT&T’s broadband network, providing lightning-fast internet speeds. Common models include the BGW320, BGW210, Pace 5268, NVG599, and NVG589. The gateway also serves as your Wi-Fi hub, ensuring strong, reliable wireless coverage throughout your workspace.
One thing to keep in mind: if you ever decide to cancel your internet service, you’ll need to return the Wi-Fi gateway and its power supply to AT&T.
Extending Your Reach: Wi-Fi Extenders and Boosters
For businesses with larger spaces or challenging layouts, AT&T offers Extended Wi-Fi Service. This add-on includes the AirTies 4971 Wi-Fi extender, designed to provide coverage to hard-to-reach areas. If you opt for AT&T Internet Air, you’ll receive the All-Fi Booster instead. Both devices work seamlessly with your Wi-Fi gateway to eliminate dead zones and ensure consistent connectivity.
Remember, if you cancel your internet service, you’ll need to return any provided extenders or boosters, along with their power supplies.
The Unsung Hero: Ethernet Cables
While wireless connectivity is essential, wired connections still play a crucial role in many business setups. AT&T provides Cat6 Ethernet cables with their internet equipment, ensuring optimal performance for your wired devices. If you ever need to replace a cable, make sure to choose Category 6 or better for the best results.
Behind the Scenes: The Optical Network Terminal (ONT)
For businesses with AT&T Fiber, an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is installed to convert fiber light waves into electrical signals. This device is typically located outside your building or in a utility area, and it’s essential for providing internet to your premises. The ONT connects to a fiber jack, which our technicians install during the initial setup.
In some cases, an Ethernet jack may also be installed to connect your ONT to the Wi-Fi gateway, especially if the two devices are not in close proximity.
Copper-Based Internet: The AT&T Branded Jack
For businesses using AT&T’s copper-based internet, our technicians may install an AT&T Branded Jack. This device connects to your RG (Residential Gateway) and should never be removed.
