Do i need to install anything when i get a new box for internet service?
My old 2wire box recently broke I'm going to buy a new one from at&t do you know if I need to install or do anything on my computer or just connect it and that's it. I'm not even really going to use it on the computer I'm mainly going to use the wifi thanks.

You won't be required to install anything on your computer, but you will need to connect to the new wifi name (SSID). ATT normally puts the wifi name and password on a label on the side of the modem/router.

After you plug the new one in, you may want to wait approximately 5 to 10 minutes before connecting via wifi. The modem may need to download any firmware updates, and may possible reboot within that period.
