✅ Just Released! AT&T Internet Air 5G Home Internet Service - Speed Test, Setup, ALL Settings Shown

Here's me setting up and testing AT&T's Internet Air CGW450 gateway. I show the phone app, advance web interface (with ALL the settings possible), internet speed test and other features. Its a long video since I show every step along the way and all the tabs in the settings. I plan to do many more videos on this service so stay tuned! I was not aware of their bundling but they offer this for $35 when bundled with a qualifying cell phone plan.

Att should’ve made their device bigger so it takes up all our space.

[@KillerRaptorr]

Better then T-mobiles fails. Their home internet boxes have NO fans. And overheats like a piss and slows down. Or just not respond. People mention having to restart the thing almost 20times a day. Atleast ATT waited to profect their device before going "WERE THE FIRST TO BE HOME INTERNET BABY!!!"

[@nino714]

Its size probably has to do with the included fan and maybe a better antenna.

that is so they can say, look how big our stuff it, so we need to charge more money in a month

I've been using AT&T Internet Air for a week and it is amazing. My download speed went from 18mbps to 140mbps which is stellar. The setup was straight forward and basically glitch free. Because of the number of wi fi devices I have it took about two hours to get them all connected. The app is nice and so far glitch free. The modem/router combo is large but esthetically it is pleasing to look at so I keep it in the open. I am extremely pleased with this system and pray that no serious problems arise down the road.

[@NaterTater]

great to hear! A comment on wifi devices, next time just change the wifi SSID and password on your new gateway/wifi router to match your old/existing one. Then all your devices will just automatically connect to your new gateway thinking its the old one.

[@aday1637]

Until there's network crowding. Then it's anyone's guess what the speed will be. ATT prioritizes depending on the number of users, and throttles almost everything they touch. 140mbps when? All the time? Non-sense and you know it.

[@kingkobra1956]

@aday1637 Yeah, I've been dealing with AT&T for as long as I can remember and have dealt with their BS over the course of time. The download speeds fluctuate wildly and their isn't any constant. The Air download speed has been from over 200 and down to 18. I constantly monitor it to see what's going on. When I had DSL my speed was 18 period so believe me I'm over the moon with Air.

[@kingkobra1956]

Oh yeah by the way, no where in my comment did I state that 140 was constant.

[@WR5RR]

I had the ATT Egg and had great speed, up to 300 mb down. I am only .2 mile from the tower. The problem I had was too many dropouts. It might reboot itself, but not always, sometime a power reboot. I stream a couple of audio channels and it would go off during the night like 4 AM, so it would be off several hours. I fired the egg and have a service, radio internet link from the same tower, lower speed but has not shutdown.

[@richardkonsky]

that could be a defective unit or if you want to try and lower the signal because it could be interfering with the tower put the unit in the closet while powered on to lower the signal manually.

[@nabuceht]

just installed. 10 minute setup turned into an extra 30 minutes with ATT on the phone and extra time trying locations. Desktop is landline, so fairly limited on location. I had major speaker interference with it. Finally found a spot that works better and has no speaker interference. Speeds are better than my Uverse/DSL, but they are highly variable... getting between 15 and 50 on back to back tests. still cheaper than 83/month for 10 though.

[@NaterTater]

What kind of speaker was causing interference?

[@nabuceht]

@@NaterTater Just a basic 5.1 wired surround sound. It was sitting about 8 inches above the subwoofer. when i lifted it up to about 16 inches it stopped. It was subtle at idle. While downloading, it would feed loud noise through all the speakers like crazy while it was drawing in data.

[@pinkfreud62]

I'm still on U-verse & $83 a month is just b.s. to pay. But I'm one that started out at $25 for AOL back in the day, lol. Just wondering, does this accommodate security cams that only operate at 2.4K? I just bought a couple a few months ago & it would suck if they won't work with this new Air router.

[@ronaldvargo4113]

Great initial review. I see they reduced the number and type of ports when comparing to what was sent to the FCC. I would be interesting if you could try to setup bridge mode with your router to see how IPv6 prefixing works along with how / if they support IPv4 NAT for the bridge. Strange how the UI for this is the same as AT&T's residential gateways for U-verse, DSL, and Fiber services. I guess they don't want to run into having to support multiple methods of managing. With their bonded VDSL they do have IPv4 bridge (well as close as you can get) along with giving 8 subnets of IPv6. I have no clue why a /60 subnet of IPv6 on AT&T devices doesn't give the full 16 subnets.

[@NaterTater]

Oh interesting, i didnt know this is the same as all their gateways! I will do some more testing

[@KillerRaptorr]

Bigger sometimes can be helpful in reducing heat. Unlike the cramp box T-mobile has that has no fan and people need to restart it consistently. Plus it has really no setting features whatsoever. o.O???? Least ATT waited to profect their device before being like T-mobile to rush the ballgame and disappoint their customers.

Great review. Would it be safe to say 10 miles away from att tower be to far away? We use a we boost & get cell phone service with it.

[@ex8722]

Depennds.. you can get full bars and not have a high signal. It's like grading on a curve.. Get the network cell info app. It's meter goes from red yellow and green. You'll see that 4 -5 bars may be in the yellow... The better that signal the better chance you'll get faster speed. Also, not all towers have high speed internet like fiber going to them. You'll most likely connect to a closer tower. GPS will give you to a closer tower...

[@NaterTater]

10 miles is far. speed and connection would depend on your specific location relative to the tower.

[@rmstark1966]

so, the more devices the slower the speed? Im on a good area for this but as you said when games are connected and say someone is watching streaming off the TV etc...would that significantly effect performance? Right now my Spectrum cable doesnt really drop when both of those are going at the same time

the same principle applies for cable as this so if the overall speed is similar then you'll notice (or not) the same on multiple devices.

The major downside is proprietary charging, while T-mobile and Verizon's gateways are USB-C, also it appears slower as its max 140 mbps while Verizons can get up to 300 mbps and T-Mobiles 275 mbps. However ATT's design is best out of all 3 home internet options!

[@NaterTater]

Verizon 5g home is limited to 100mbps now, where do you see the 275mbps throttle for t-mobile?

[@FATHOLLYWOODB123]

@@NaterTater ah sorry, I must have gotten it confused with FIOS home internet! As for the tmobile 275 mbps speed, I saw it on a disclaimer at the bottom of there web page about the 5G home internet, there was a a tab with an answer to “how fast is tmobile home internet”, if I remember correctly the exact speeds given were 45-272 mbps

[@KillerRaptorr]

It's not a 'Charging port'. It's a 'POWER PORT'. Have you not heard of Barrel connectors? Proprietary is called a 'SPECIAL CABLE'. Barrel connectors aren't 'SPECIAL'. Nor is USB ports. So just cause it's Barrel port vs USB-C (Which you can easily convert with a adapter. Barrel to usb-C). Doesn't mean it's much different in suppling power. Plus there might be a reason why it's Barrel connector vs a USB-C port. As USB-C isn't standard. It's a flux voltage system from 5volts all the way up to 20volts. So expecting to power a device off 5volts that is purely for 12volts and you're using a 5volt only usb A to usb-C it won't work. Compared to barrel plugs that normally run off 12volts and above. You're not expecting to plug a barrel plug into a 5volt only device. But thing i question in some peoples logic in this. Is why's it matter if it's barrel jacked or usb-C? you can't use the USB-C from the device to your phone. Nor would you do your phone to the device.... And if you're thinking 'well it's easily replaceable.' So is a barrel jack. So that logic flies out the door. Plus Barrel jacks will have better thermal stay systems then a usb-c block due to a larger resister system that's converting 110/120/220/240volts to 12volts/etc. Then a thinner usb-c block that isn't as thick for supporting high loads for large period of time. ATT is also pushing this at a low start. Which they have a large push on their 5G low band performance. So the Air seeing 140mbps on low band 5G isn't to bad. Compared to T-mobile that pushed so hard on their Mid-band and launched their device to try hard to make speeds on Mid-band. Getting just around 300 on mid-band is pretty bland. But there are some who's seen almost up to 700mbps. But that is differ depending on users of the same tower flux. Att's focusing more on stability so granting Air on 5G low band as a stepping stone to get a stability look at how it performs before throwing it on a more massive scale of mid-band or MMwave as both T-mobile and Verizon both had trouble doing. It's good ATT started last to understand their network stresses compared to shipping onto the wagon and failing hard like the other two companies.

[@RogerPack]

Guess it says "T-Mobile 5G Home Internet customers receive consistent broadband speeds and see typical download speeds between 72 - 245 Mbps" but some have reported more...if you get lucky :)

I am in a garden apartment of a brick building in a major city full of brick buildings. Mobile service is generally pretty bad in my apartment. I'm willing to give it a shot, but am scared it will not work well and not switching back smoothly.

[@NaterTater]

I wouldn't cancel your existing service until confirming this at&t internet air works for you.

[@KillerRaptorr]

If you're getting poor cell service with your ATT phones or devices. It's VERY unlikely it'd perform better with the air. Since the AIR does run on the exact same network system as mobile devices do. So if you are using a ATT phone and it's on 5G and you're getting crappy performance under 18mbps or so. I'd avoid the Air and stick with what you got now.

Nater how is the Att internet air so far and what speeds do you get right now?

[@NaterTater]

it's had some stumbles, typically around 80-100mbps down and 25mbps upload

[@CallMeMilenko]

This will be helpful for me as a device for uploading. I currently have UVerse, which doesn't have the best upload speeds. I've rough to Twitch stream and play multiplayer games. I currently use my phone hotspot as a second network that's dedicated to streaming. I'm willing to invest into a second home ISP if I can get some decent performance from this service.

[@NaterTater]

The upload has been very good. Often get 50 +Mbps up.

[@CallMeMilenko]

I'll look into giving them a shot. It's still a wireless connection so I'll still need my hotspot. BUT, I can use it for gaming and use Internet Air for streaming at a higher resolution. And it'll be cheaper than my current home service.@@NaterTater

[@CallMeMilenko]

@NaterTater well I've been using it for about 3 days now. Ping is a little high but it doesn't interfere with my online gaming. Downstream gets anywhere from 65Mb-200Mb. Upstream is around 35Mb-50Mb. It's enough for me to stream on Twitch as I only need an upstream of 6Mb for 1080p. Might be the area for me. I'm not in a rural area. Just a small town that's surrounded by bigger cities nearby.

Hey Nate why does the Internet air have a 1gig and a 10 gig ethernet connection? I have an iMac with an M1 chip. Is one connection better for my iMac?

[@NaterTater]

They're optimistic on their network performance perhaps...lol. either works the same for your Mac.

[@KillerRaptorr]

For 'Internet' either would do since you'll never gain gig network with this currently till maybe they improve their Mid-Band with over a gig networking. As for the 10-giga connection. That would mainly only be used if you'd sync many companies up to it via a switch so each computer would have a large ability to transfer files super fast. But as for internet. It wouldn't be any different to the normal single gig network. The only bonus is the 10 would be better for home network transfer filing.

I have ATT but it goes from fiber optic into the wired phone line & it drops the internet a lot here in Martinez, Ca., 33 miles NE of San Francisco.

[@nino714]

Is the fiber optic FTTP or is it FTTN? Meaning, is the fiber to the side of your home or is it just fiber to the box down the street? That makes a huge difference in speed availability. In either case what type of copper wire do you have connected in your home? If you have an older home odds are the old copper phone lines are not gonna work well. You need to have Cat5e or Cat6 inside wire from the side of your home going inside to your modem.

How reliable is this in comparison to their regular internet? Is it stable enough for streaming?

Hardline (aka "regular") internet in general is better and lower latency. If by streaming you mean streaming tv/movies yes this is great for that. If you mean streaming/uploading live videos then you might notice lag issues due to ping.

I have a stupid question. Is the ATT Internet Air using the cell phone wireless data plan? My modem is 25% the size of the egg. My streaming sites started buffering recently day or night, including KZbin. I was suspecting that ATT is doing it on purpose, so I have to swtich to Internet Air.

[@NaterTater]

It's a different plan, but it does use the same cellular service more or less. Depends on which bands your current modem supports. I dont think att is actively doing anything to slow down other modems to encourage the adoption of internet air. You might experience the same thing, especially if it's a network congestion or temporary issue in the area.

I have their Internet 100 plan. So just Internet but i pay $75.96. I just got the notification on the AT&T app about Internet Air. I mainly use the Internet for gaming and streaming. Would this be worth the switch? Wouldn't mind paying less.

[@NaterTater]

The cellular based internet air likely will have worse ping/latency than their wired service. I think they give you a 7 or 14 day free trial and you can return/cancel it if it doesnt meet your needs. Fine for streaming for sure.

[@KillerRaptorr]

Stick with your 'Wired' connection if you plan to play games and stream. Air runs on cellular network which is just like that little device in your palm. But since these home air pods that companies are trying to come out with. You're using 80% more data then you do on your phones which use lot less then normal and don't require fast pings as PC games do. So you'll run into quite a few itches if you went from wired to your wireless home air. Not to mention the fine print that ATT has right now. 'AT&T Internet Air limitations: AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy.' Which means if the tower the pod is connected to is being shuffled with the SHARED network of phone users that aren't slowed down yet. You'll likely take the hit first of being slowed from say 100 to 25mph or so depending on the congestion. Which also can sometimes hit pings abit. But as nater mentioned. Wouldn't be bad to take a trial run IF they allow for such. But if not. Don't bother. You may pay a 20$ higher price then air. But you'll take a HUGE amount of impact from the Air's performance difference compared to your internet 100 plan's wired network that is likely not taking any hits from slow down or performance degradation.
