Does this work with at&t wifi? null

Alden this is a Hardware Ethernet Switch that connections between a home router and any device you want to connect inboxed a hardwired fashion with RJ45 Ethernet cabling. If the AT&T Wi-FI Router supplied has Ethernet ports on the back the S8000 can allow additional ports to be connected.

This is a wired router. If you use the WiFi provided by the AT&T modem and plug the Ethernet cable from the AT&T modem into the nighthawk router, you can use the 8 Ethernet connections from the router to whatever you like. It will handle traffic to and from those eight connections independently from the WiFi provided by the cable modem. If that is the setup you are looking for, this is a great router to use. I use the nighthawk s8000 as the main router in my setup and turn off the WiFi provided by my comcast business modem. It runs directly to this router and from the router, I have an orbi mesh WiFi network set up and there are 49 connections to it including: run video doorbell, ring floodlight cameras, smart TVs, nest thermostats, nest smoke alarms, alexa devices, wireless controls for lighting, iPads, iPhones and laptops, etc. I also have my Xbox One x directly wired to it as well as a beefy desktop hosting a few websites (SaaS), databases and a plex server. With the WiFi, there are six people living in my house and a number of people seem to always be here using the orbi guest network. (Thank God I opted for Comcast business where there is no data cap). There is a LOT of traffic this router is directing. It has yet to let me down or show any signs of stress - slowing down, losing data packets, etc. with all that said, you definitely can use this router with pretty much any setup from a modem - you just need to plan how you want your network configured and where your WiFi will fit in your set up. Either you will use at&t’s built in WiFi which means the traffic from your WiFi is controlled at the modem’s level, or you can buy a wireless setup, like the orbis I used, and plug it into one of the Ethernet connections. The only benefit I have using this approach is that I am able to log, inspect, limit bandwidth and have more control locally with the WiFi traffic in my network.
