About Your New Wireless Router

Your new AT&T Plug&Share™ Wireless Router gives you the freedom to share files, programs, storage devices, scanners, printers and even broadband Internet access among all the computers in your network — without the inconvenience and expense of a tangle of network cabling.

Designed for fast, easy setup and use, your new router transfers data at up to 54 Mbps (megabits per second). Built-in “firewall” capabilities help keep your network secure and protect your privacy.

The AT&T Plug&Share™ Wireless Router can be used with computers equipped with Windows® XP, 2000, Me or 98 SE operating systems and can also be integrated into a larger network.
