The entry point for your fiber connection. Converts the fiber-optic signal arriving at your home into a format your router and connected devices can use. The technician installs, mounts, and fully activates this unit during the appointment.
A Wi-Fi gateway that combines your router and modem into a single device. Supports dual-band Wi-Fi and is fully managed through the AT&T Smart Home Manager app — full control over your home network from your smartphone.
For larger Metairie homes where a single gateway may not deliver a strong signal to every room, the technician can discuss AT&T's Wi-Fi extender options during the visit to ensure consistent coverage on every floor.
Understanding what work happens outside and inside your home helps you prepare properly for installation day and ensures the appointment runs smoothly.
The technician runs a fiber-optic cable from the AT&T network connection point on your street or nearby utility infrastructure directly to the exterior wall of your Metairie home. In most cases this involves minimal drilling and is completed cleanly.
Once the exterior line is secured, the technician installs the ONT at an agreed-upon interior location, connects and configures the Wi-Fi gateway, and runs a speed test to confirm your AT&T Fiber service is live and performing at full speed.
Make sure an adult aged 18 or older is present for the full duration of the appointment. Ensure the technician has clear, unobstructed access to the areas of your home where equipment will be installed, including any utility entry points.
