Check your equipment

Confirm BGW320 in your equipment information, including any suffix. AT&T’s gateway help covers BGW320 alongside some older models; use the BGW320 section for device-specific steps.

Open AT&T BGW320 settings

Connect to your gateway’s home network and open 192.168.1.254. AT&T’s BGW320 guidance links this address for gateway settings.

Which password does this screen need?

When prompted by the gateway, enter the current Device Access Code. AT&T identifies the original code on the gateway sticker. It is different from the Wi-Fi password and the AT&T account used in Smart Home Manager.

Wi-Fi settings

For a straightforward way to share access, open Smart Home Manager, choose My Wi-Fi, then Share Wi-Fi. This shares the wireless connection; it does not share administrator access to the gateway.

Internet-provider settings need separate care

A guide about Firewall or IP Passthrough is not a password-recovery procedure. Leave those settings alone while identifying a rejected access code. If another router provides Wi-Fi, distinguish its management screen from the BGW320 interface.

If you cannot sign in

Check a saved Device Access Code if the sticker’s original was changed. AT&T documents a factory reset for a lost changed code; read the applicable instructions and plan to restore settings before taking that step.

If the screen asks for a AT&T account, use account recovery in the official app or website. Confirm that account manages this network. Resetting the equipment is not a way to recover an online account.

If internet access fails too

Compare another device on the same network. One device failing and every device failing need different checks. Note any equipment error and consult your provider when the shared connection remains unavailable.
