Signal indicator lights

  • Green (solid): The number of lights indicates your signal. If you only have one or two green lights, you should check for a better location.
  • Amber (chasing): Your hub is looking for the best signal tower.
  • Amber (blinking): Your hub has an error. Count the number of blinking lights to determine your error code.
    • One (E004): No IP address
    • Two (E400): SIM error
    • Three (E403): Authentication failure
    • Four (E013): DNS down
  • Off: If all signal indicator lights are off and the power button is red, there’s no connection to the 5G network (E405).

FYI: If you’ve found your error code, use the Error code FAQ to help find a fix.

Wi-Fi button light

This light indicates the status of your Wi-Fi.

  • Green means Wi-Fi is turned on.
  • No light means Wi-Fi is turned off. Press the button to turn it on.

Power light

  • Green (solid): Your hub has power.
  • Red (solid): Your hub has an error. Check the signal indicator lights to find the error code.

You can turn your Wi-Fi on or off by pressing the Wi-Fi button on the front of your All-Fi-Hub. Turning off Wi-Fi will disconnect all devices connected to your All-Fi Hub.

Find Wi-Fi info

Get your Wi-Fi name and password in three simple ways:

  • All-Fi Hub: Look for a sticker with your Wi-Fi name and password.
  • QR code: Use your mobile device to automatically connect devices to your hub.
  • Smart Home Manager: Open Smart Home Manager and look for the My Wi-Fi card. Don’t have the Smart Home Manager app yet? Download the app from the Apple App store or Google Play store.

Change Wi-Fi name

  1. Sign in to Smart Home Manager.
  2. Scroll to the My Wi-Fi card and choose Change next to the name or password.
  3. Select X to clear existing info, then enter a new name or password.
  4. Select Save.

Once you finish making changes, reconnect your devices with the updated network info.

FYI: You can also update your Wi-Fi from your All-Fi Hub settings.

Manage Wi-Fi security

Your BGW530 comes with the security On and set to WPA-2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II). If you or someone else turned the security Off, learn how to turn it back on.

  1. Go to your All-Fi Hub settings.
  2. Select Home Network, then Wi-Fi.
  3. Enter the Device Access Code on your hub.
  4. Select Advanced Options.
  5. Do the following for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi Configuration sections:
    • To use the default password, select WPA – Default Password from the Security options.
    • To use a custom password or a password you changed, choose WPA from the Security options.
    • In the WPA Version section, select WPA-2 for maximum compatibility.
    • Enter a new 10-character password. Use a longer or more complex password for better security.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Update your Wi-Fi devices with your new password info.

FYI: Your 2.4 and 5.0GHz radios may have different network names and passwords. For the best Wi-Fi experience, we recommend you use the same Wi-Fi network name and password for both radios.

Hide Wi-Fi info

Important: Before proceeding with this process, be sure to store your Wi-Fi network name and password in a safe location. You’ll have to manually enter them after your network name is hidden. Then, choose your equipment type to get detailed instructions.

  1. Go to your All-Fi Hub settings.
  2. Select Home Network, then Wi-Fi.
  3. Enter the Device Access Code on your hub.
  4. Select Home Network, then Wi-Fi.
  5. Select Continue.
  6. Select Home Network, then Wi-Fi.
  7. Choose Advanced Options in the Wi-Fi section.
  8. Scroll to the 2.4Hz Radio or 5.0Hz Radio section.
  9. Next to Hide Network Name, choose On from the dropdown.
  10. Select Save.

Mac address filtering

Set up your All-Fi Hub so that it only connects to devices by MAC address. This makes your connections more secure. When you turn on MAC address filtering, only devices that you select can connect to your network.

FYI: Make sure you have the MAC address for each device you want to access your Wi-Fi home network. Every device will have its own process to find its MAC address. Check your service documentation or manufacturer’s website for detailed instructions.

  1. Go to your All-Fi Hub settings.
  2. Select Home Network, then Mac Filtering.
  3. Enter the Device Access Code from your hub.
  4. Go to the MAC Filtering section and select Enabled for the radio you want to turn on MAC Filtering.
  5. In Mac Filter Entry, either:
    • Select your devices’ MAC addresses
    • Enter the MAC address in the Manual Entry field (repeat as needed)
  6. Choose Add.
  7. Select Save.

Port forwarding

Important: Use port forwarding with caution. It may allow others to access devices in your home without your knowledge.

  1. Go to your All-Fi Hub settings.
  2. Select the Firewall tab.
  3. Enter the Device Access Code on your hub.
  4. Select NAT/Gaming. Get a warning message? Go to the AT&T Port Forwarding tool to enable port forwarding on your account. Then, you can continue with these steps.
  5. From the Service dropdown, select the application for port forwarding. If your application isn't in the list, or you are setting up port forwarding for a device:
    • Select Custom Services.
    • In the Service Name area, enter the name for the application or device.
    • For Global Port Range, enter the port(s) you want to open. We recommend that you create a separate service entry for each port rather than using a port range. In this case, the port number should be the same in the Global Port Range fields.
    • In Base Host Port, enter the port number used for the first Global Port Range section.
    • Choose the appropriate Protocol from the drop-down for the application or device you are adding.
    • Select Add.
    • Repeat for more applications and devices.
    • When all applications or devices have been added, select Return to NAT/Gaming. Your new applications or devices will display in the Applications list.
  6. From the Needed by Device dropdown, choose the device name or IP address of the device to open the port.
  7. Select Add.
  8. When your selections display in Hosted Applications, select Save.
