AT&T Default Router Passwords

This page lists 4 confirmed default credentials for AT&T equipment, covering 4 models.

Entries are reachable over http. All of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.

On most AT&T equipment the admin password is printed on the device itself, on its label or settings card. If it has been changed and you cannot recall it, a reset returns it to the printed one. Know a AT&T model we are missing? Add it.

About AT&T

AT&T supplies its own gateways, including the BGW320 All-Fi Hub and the BGW210, with its fibre and internet service. The AT&T records here run across the BGW- and NVG- lines.

Reaching the login page

The admin page on most AT&T units answers at http://192.168.1.254. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.

AT&T gateways do not use a username and password pair. Settings changes ask for the Device Access Code printed on a sticker on the gateway.

What the AT&T defaults look like

None of them ask for a username; the field is left empty. On 4 entries the password is unique to each unit and printed on its label. All of them are reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.

Where AT&T prints the admin password

Device Access Code is printed on a sticker on the gateway (on the side of the BGW210 and NVG589). It is not the Wi-Fi password, even when both are on the same label.Drawn from AT&T’s own description. The real label looks different and carries other details.

Where the Device Access Code is

It is printed on a sticker on the gateway itself: on the BGW210 and NVG589 that sticker is on the side. It is a different code from the Wi-Fi password printed nearby, so check which line you are reading.

If the code is not accepted

Someone may have changed it. AT&T says holding the gateway’s reset button returns the Device Access Code to its factory value, the one on the sticker. A reset also clears any settings you made, including the Wi-Fi name and password if they were changed.

AT&T firmware and known issues

AT&T says its gateways pick up software updates when they restart, and lists no version numbers or release notes. AT&T support article

Checked 4 October 2026. AT&T updates its equipment itself, so the firmware on yours may already be newer.

If the AT&T password has already been changed

There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.

The catch with an ISP-supplied unit is that a reset also clears the broadband credentials, and on some lines the router will not reconnect until those are re-entered. Find them before you press anything, or be ready to ring the provider.
