Common Problems and Solutions

1.I don’t hear a dial tone, and the Phone 1 LED is not lit. Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:

•Make sure the telephone is plugged into the Phone 1 port.

•Disconnect and re-connect the RJ-11 telephone cable between the Router and telephone.

•Make sure your telephone is set to its tone setting (not pulse).

•Make sure your network has an active Internet connection. Try to access the Internet, and check to see if the Router’s Internet LED is lit. If you do not have a connection, power off your network devices, including the Router and cable/DSL modem. Wait 30 seconds, and power on the cable/DSL modem first. Then power on the Router and other network devices.

•Verify your account information and confirm that the phone line is registered with AT&T.

•If none of the above works, contact AT&T at 1-866-596-8464.

3.I reset the Router to its factory default settings. How do I configure the settings for my Internet phone service?

If your Internet phone service account is active, the Router will automatically download its Internet phone service settings once it is connected to the Internet again.
