AT&T Wireless routers can set up Internet connections with numerous devices with the help of a wireless signal. But, ATT wireless routers may show certain errors which may hinder its speed and performance.

But before that, you must read further in order to gain a comprehensive knowledge of some of the common and frequent causes of ATT wireless router performance issues along with their solutions.

You require a network expander –

The Wireless network signals are capable of covering a plenty of areas. But, in case you find yourself on the edge of your coverage field, its performance can get affected. Wireless extenders or repeaters push up the signal strength and enhance its performance. You can purchase one if you find any trouble in the network coverage over the areas of your office or home.

Any software process, device or computer may strain network resources –

If you connect more than one device with a particular wireless network, you need to keep in mind that they all will share only one Internet connection. So, you can simply imagine what happens if one of those connected devices downloads large files or streams tons of media! Other devices connected on this network will feel a strain in the network. Thus, check all your devices in order to make sure that your Internet connection is not using up all resources.

You are not using any port forwarding –

A common performance related issue with the AT&T wireless routers is the inefficiency to run some of the programs including certain smartphone or tablet apps or multiplayer games. This may happen when the default security settings of an ATT router block the software or devices from making use of certain ports. So, the option of port forwarding may help you open these ports.

You have placed the router in a wrong location -

The position of the ATT wireless router may affect the connections of other devices. The router kept in one corner of your office or home finds it difficult to connect with different devices kept on the other side. You can use certain tools like Heatmapper for Windows to evenly distribute the strength of the signal throughout the area.

You have set your AT&T router to save power – Nowadays, manufacturers design newer AT&T wireless routers in such a way that they help in saving power by cutting back on the utility costs. Although it seems to be a nice theoretical idea, but the users may often face performance issues in the name of savings. This option is sometimes known as "Transmission Power" in the router settings." You have the option of selecting high, medium or low levels of the transmission power. In case your AT&T router setting is kept at "Auto," then make sure to switch it off.
