AT&T Fiber Installation in Ravenna, OH

Getting AT&T Fiber in Ravenna is straightforward. A professional installer will usually visit your home to set up the equipment, which typically takes 4–6 hours. The technician first determines the best place for the AT&T Wi-Fi gateway (the combined modem/router) and brings the fiber line into your house. They will run a new fiber drop from the outside network to the gateway. Then they hook up the cables and power – for example, connecting the optical network terminal (ONT) if needed – and power on the gateway. Finally, the installer checks that the lights turn solid green, sets up your Wi-Fi network, and helps you verify your devices can connect. (AT&T notes that someone 18 or older must be present for the install.)

Scheduling Your Installation

You can schedule the tech visit when you sign up (online or by phone). AT&T advertises same-day or next-day appointments for Fiber installation, so many Ravenna customers can get a slot within a few days, depending on local availability. In practice, you’ll be offered specific dates and times; availability may range from a few days up to a week or two. Make sure you or another adult is home at that time. You can manage or reschedule the appointment later via the AT&T website if needed.

Installation and Activation Fees

AT&T’s standard one-time installation fee for Fiber is $99, often called a “setup” fee. However, many promotions waive this fee. In fact, AT&T now calls it “Internet setup”: if you choose self-install, the company ships the equipment free with no install charge. Even with professional installation, keep an eye out for promotions (some deals cover or credit the setup fee). Aside from this setup charge, there’s no separate activation fee – just normal taxes and any local state surcharges. Equipment is included at no extra cost (AT&T includes the Wi-Fi gateway in your plan), and there are no monthly rental fees for the hardware.

Promotions and Offers

AT&T often runs attractive sign-up deals. For example, new AT&T Fiber customers in Ravenna get a Visa® Reward Card when they order online – up to $150 on the Gigabit (1000 Mbps) plan, $100 on 500 Mbps, or $50 on 300 Mbps. (You may also stack promo codes or bundle offers for extra reward cards.) Bundling with AT&T Wireless can add savings: eligible wireless plans give you 20% off your fiber bill or even 6 months free fiber service. Unlike many providers, AT&T has no annual contract and no equipment fees. Promotions change regularly, so it’s smart to ask the sales rep or check AT&T’s website for any current deal that waives installation costs or gives extra rewards.

Self-Installation Option

In some cases you can set up AT&T Fiber yourself. Self-install (AT&T calls it “internet setup”) is only available if your home is already wired for AT&T Fiber (for example, if there’s an existing AT&T fiber jack or ONT from prior service). When you sign up online, AT&T will indicate if self-install is an option. If eligible, AT&T will ship you a free self-installation kit with everything you need. The kit includes the AT&T Wi-Fi gateway (modem/router), color-coded cables (Ethernet, power, and phone-line cable), and instructions.

Setting it up is largely plug-and-play. You mount or place the gateway near the wall jack or ONT, then connect the provided cables: for example, plug the green fiber/data cable (if included) into the wall jack or ONT, plug the red Ethernet cable into the gateway’s ONT port, and connect the black power cord to an outlet. (If you have AT&T phone service, you’d also plug the gray phone cable into the gateway.) Once powered on, wait about 10 minutes for the gateway’s lights to turn solid green. At that point, use a computer or smartphone to join the new Wi-Fi network (name/Password are on the gateway) and follow AT&T’s on-screen registration instructions (or go to att.com/activate) to complete setup. Because AT&T calls this a self-install, there is no installation fee charged.

If your home is not already equipped for fiber, AT&T will require the technician visit instead. In general, most Ravenna addresses with AT&T Fiber plans will need the professional install (unless they already had AT&T Fiber before).

Older Homes and Wiring Considerations

If you live in an older home, note that AT&T Fiber uses completely new cabling. Legacy copper phone or DSL wiring cannot carry the fiber signal. The technician will simply install a new fiber drop. In fact, AT&T often replaces any old copper wiring with the fiber line during install. In modern homes built with conduit or a central wiring panel, the fiber can be fed indoors neatly. But in very old homes without conduit, expect the installer to run the fiber line through the side of the house, basement, or attic. (Sometimes they will leave the new cable on the lawn temporarily until it can be buried.) Inside, the installer will mount the gateway and connect it to the new fiber line. If you have traditional analog phone sets, you may need to install the provided DSL filter on your phone jacks, or simply plug your phone into the gateway’s phone port as instructed.

In summary, AT&T’s tech will adapt to your home: they won’t touch your old DSL lines, but will bring fiber directly to the new equipment. After installation, you’ll have a fresh fiber-based connection and a new AT&T gateway delivering gigabit-speed internet (with much higher upload speeds than old DSL or cable had).
