I’ve lived with this AT&T Internet Air along side my Verizon and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet for a few months. AT&T released a new All-Fi Hub, the BGW530-900 gateway, I compare it to the older CGW450 gateway. This is great for rural customers who have few other options for broadband internet, especially ones with no data caps or throttling based on data usage. I plan to do many more videos on this service so stay tuned!

  1. I've been with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet since 11/19/21 and still like them. I use a VPN and a free virus ware setup and I have a Chromebook, a MacBook, cell phone and LG Smart Monitor and my speeds are really quite consistent and I've never had any lagging or drops in service. I'm mainly a streamer and a browser but all of the above makes me quite happy. Of course, it's only me that is using this device, however, my internet is very fast and can accommodate more devices if I need to. Thanks for sharing, unfortunately, that system is not available in my area. Many people in my area have Xfiniti and when I first moved here in 2022, T-Mobile wasn't available in this area but I was moving from Fall River where I had excellent signals but I set it up where I moved and I mostly get just three bars but it seems to be enough as my speeds are very decent. Thanks for your insight and review of this new system with AT & T.

  2. I’ve ordered both the personal AIR and the Business AIR, my requirement is to get IP Passthrough to work to an external Router/NAT. I saw in the setup a link to request a public ipv4 address. Does that work? My router has OpenVPN that I use to access my private network, will that work on the personal Air. Can ip forwarding be set to one of the Ethernet ports?

  3. You would need to put a be civil label on your comments. Google decided your video was a setup tutorial for this device. I can't speak Spanish and the setup video on att is in Spanish. This was more than mildly annoying.

  4. This video is far better than what was on the AT&T app. Thanks for the in-depth explanations. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can get my HP air printer to connect? The router doesn’t seem to have a WPS button. I’ve tried all the methods suggested on my HP app. Thank you for any suggestions.

  5. Any advise to improve mu upload?
    I just installed the waveform Quadpro, wires are in 1,3,2,4 order as suggested on your other video. I'm getting amazing 260 mb down and 9 to 10 upload. I know where my tower is 7 miles away no LOS. Antenna pointed in that direction of cell tower.
    Mode is NR SA
    Band 77

    I get 100 rsrp
    Rsrq -11
    Sinr 12

    Without antenna speeds were 12 down 1 up.
    Since 12

  6. I see 2 things happening by 2050. One is 5G services like this, become the new mainstream for broadband, because of people's incomes. I also see cellphones becoming a replacement for desktop and laptop computers, were you just rest your phone in a dock or connect to a usb cable. And let it charge while you watch a movie or game. Data loss is prevented in the cloud, if you're interested. If you need a monitor or keyboard, you can use them separate with something similar to Bluetooth.

  7. How can I add more ethernet points onto my Att air router it only has two ports, and I want to use extra ports

  8. So I guess the USB port on the back is useless for an external antenna. Why don't companies provide a way to add antennas for better coverage??? Without tearing them apart?

  9. Thank you for this video. 77 yr old wi-fi dummy here. I suggest that you might consider doing a "short form" video on this router. I am having a hell of a time just getting my new 530 to do a basic connection. The discussion of options was very detailed and yet I had trouble understanding what-goes-where to get the router working on my Dell PC. I'm sure it is easy once you know how to do it! My first try at using Smart Home Manager ended in disaster.

  10. Hi Nate, I set up my internet today, and ive restarted it several times to try to get the custom SSID and password I set in the app to stick, but it wont show up anywhere but the app. Not changing on any devices. Also, my 2.4 ghz devices won't connect. Do you know how I can fix this?

  11. 8:42 I need to connect my old printer (HP Envy 6300e), but I cannot find the WPS button on the All-Fi Hub. I got to this screen (8:42), but that WPS Virtual Pushbutton does not work. Anyone can help me, please? Thank.

  12. You’re always great about answering questions. Thank you. I have the first generation Att air and they mounted a directional antenna on mine. It was 4 lte. They just replaced it with 5g and I have the egg router you’re are showing. Is there anyway I can hook that antenna to it? It’s made by Att. Thank you.

  13. I have only 4g in my area
    They said we had to up grade from old one with antenna outside..or they would cut it of this month.will i work but on 4g?.

  14. Thanks for the informative video! Just hooked this up yesterday and loving it so far. Is there a WPS button on the unit? I've searched and don't see one. Having issues getting my printer to communicate with the hub. Thanks!

  15. My parents recently gotten fat design does it require eitheplug into the phonejack but u can do it wireless with out the eitherplug

  16. I just setup Att internet air 4 days ago, free trial period. So far so good. It's only connecting to 4G but download speeds average around 230, uploads 25. I have 9 devices connected to it. Everything is working great. No slow downs or buffering while watching videos. I was having too many issues with Comcast, slowing down, dropping out too often. Had numerous service tech visits. It never got better. And to top it all off ATT is about half the price of Comcast.

  17. My att air is absolute garbage. When it works temporarily it is fast but I have to constantly reset it say I'm using internet for an hour or so I may have to reset it 3-4 times. I've yet to have a single day where I haven't had to reset the thing multiple times. Some days I leave it unplugged out of frustration with it. Several times I'll have all green lights but it fails the ip address. This is the second hub aswell…… customer service is absolutely terrible aswell.

  18. Have you tried using a cellular booster for improving signal inside the house? Like a Wilson. Wondering if improves speed.

  19. Just received mine today. Setup process is still janky for whatever reason it's not taking my code so I'm waiting for customer care to solve that for me. But as far as the speeds it covers my apartment. Well wish me luck on gaming 😁

  20. My question is this I tried previously speed were fine. Managed mine that handle. My device is fine. My only question was when I tried to manage things from the app. It kept on telling me that it was not available when I wanted to change certain settings for example switching from WPA two to WPA three. I’m wondering if there is a setting in my iPhone that could be preventing this any thoughts? I also noted when I typed in the address on the back of the router to go to the web interface and said I was on a public site not a private so I wasn’t sure if that would cause additional issues as well. Interested in your thoughts thanks

  21. Can I connect an ethernet cable to it and run it to a different router? I currently do that with my AT&t modem because I have a workshop far out in the yard that I run in underground cable to

  22. can i just connect my current home network router to this thing via ethernet and not have to change any wifi settings anywhere?

  23. I am trying to get the NAT/Gaming or Pass-through set up. When I go to both tabs, the instructions send me to a link. The link takes me to an at&t page that says, Get a public IP address. You need a public IP address for any network hardware that can be used by the public. I click the continue and it says We received your request and to close this page and to go back to my hub settings and refresh the page but nothing changes. I am trying to play mario kart on the switch and I get the 2618-0513 error code. Any help would be appreciated.

  24. My at&t internet air is great it's fast and the ping is excellent for online games like cod but today I had to reset my router cuz it got to hot and the ping went up to 102 but I'm assuming it changes all the time 👍

  25. Hey! I purchased this for my first home, works well for iPhones and connects to our smart watches. Had issues trying to connect it to our Vizio smart tv last night, tried a bunch of options including changing the password, restarting both the tv, and box. Any thoughts?

  26. I have had the BGW539-900 for a few months now and the speeds are very consistent, I clock about 220 down and 15 to 18 up. I was wondering if anyone had a wiring diagram for installing a Waveform antenna to the BGW530-900? I know I can increase the speed with a directional antenna. I do live remote, so I was surprised by the speeds I am getting.

  27. great video, I've had this modem/gateway for about 6 months and its pretty good at first my average downstream speed was around 500mbps up was around 80mbps it does go up and down alot in speed i also have a waveform outdoor non directional antenna hooked up to it and im about half a mile from the att tower so glad to see u got a chance to make a video about this gateway

  28. Just got this one. What is the usb c port in the back for? Can you use the ethernet ports to connect devices imstead of using the wifi connection?

  29. So I have an elsys and have T-mobile. Att recently started offering internet air at my location and I've thought about switching because I have ATT cell phone service and their 5g+ band get crazy good speeds compared to what I get with T-mobile, however when I do a band search on my Elsys ultra, it only shows that ATT 4g is available, even though on my phone I'm getting 5g with ATT at the same location. Is the Elsys compatible with ATT 5g?

  30. Hi Nate, great video. A few questions: 1) what latency/ping are you measuring with the BGW530? You mentioned it was better than the egg, but I didn't catch the measurement. I'm currently getting ~30ms with my vdsl 100/20. 2) Staff at my local ATT store said that only their wifi extenders will work with the BGW530. Is that true? 3) Newbie here – with wifi extenders, can you connect the wifi extender to the gateway via ethernet/cat 5e? Thanks, JB
