No Internet Connection but Gateway is Green
I’m having issues connecting my at&t fiber internet. I recieved a Gateway and connect the red ont cord into the existing fiber service box in the ethernet port and then powered it on. Everything is green including broadband and it appears on my devices but then after connecting says “no internet connection”. Before I set up this internet, the pre existing fiber box had a cord connected into the ethernet port on the ont box and the other side was connect to a wall jack, not sure if that could be an issue? ( I already tried resetting gateway)

Are any of the yellow ports on the gateway connected to the wall jack with an Ethernet cable? If no, try plugging an Ethernet cable to the wall jack and the gateway.

It seems to me like @ddnmolina has connected the gateway to the ONT...
"connect the red ont cord into the existing fiber service box in the ethernet port and then powered it on"
...eliminating the wall jack.
But if that's not true, and the gateway isn't connected to the ONT, why is the Broadband light green?

WiFi lights are on. Everything is on like normal. I tried the factory reset which very much restored everything to factory settings. Still no connection. And I would try that with a computer, but any device I hook up to an Ethernet doesn’t even recognize the Ethernet is connected. PS4 for example will just say “connect LAN cable” when testing the connection. I’ve used multiple cables and none of them are recognized by a console or computer.

@ddnmolina Do you think you could post some pictures of the equipment so we could see exactly what's connected to what because I'm still fuzzy on what's going on.

@PhumeleleToniJose How about you start your own thread and give us as much detail as possible?

So how you said I eliminated the wall jack by plugging directly into ont box, I also plugged in my ethernet cable into the wall jack and my gateway (just to see if something would happen) turns out my wifi was working the whole time at&t just wanted me to register on their smart home app and without registering the wifi wouldnt activate! super waste of my time since I had it green and ready to go from the beginning, all just for then to tell me I have to download the smart home app anyways thanks for your help! @tonydi
