We're here to help get your printer connected, @kevinsvoboda!


If you are only seeing one Network Name to connect to, this means that bandsteering is enabled, and you may need to disable it to further troubleshoot. Bandsteering uses the AT&T Gateway to combine both channels and connect you to the best Wi-Fi channel for you automatically. To disable it, simply follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Smart Home Manager.

  2. Select My Wi-Fi.

  3. Choose Edit next to the name or password.

  4. Select X to clear existing info, then enter a new name or password. Make sure that both Wi-Fi names are different, otherwise bandsteering will remain enabled.

  5. Select Save.

  6. Reconnect your devices with the updated network info.

We also suggest using the Smart Home Manager's Network Health Check tool to see if there is anything occurring between the printer and the Gateway. It will automatically let you know if something is causing interference.


Let us know if this helps!
