Tips to restore incoming calls

  • Make sure any cordless phones have power.
  • Check that all cords are securely connected to your Wi-Fi® gateway.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi gateway by unplugging it from the power source (this will temporarily interrupt your AT&T Internet and TV services). Plug the power cord back in and wait for the gateway to power up.
  • If you’re able to call out, have a friend call your phone as a test.
