This sounds like a scam. The frequencies used by cell phones, and those used by WiFi routers, are (a) different, and (b) the subject of much study, with the conclusion that there's no prospect of interference between then.

If someone from AT&T really intended to fight with you about your router, it would be national headlines, because it would imply that the FCC got it wrong. In fact, if this were true, it should be national headlines.

Not to oversimplify, but cell phones don't require access to the same frequencies that are used by WiFi routers.

Thanks man, the guy mentioned baby monitors going rogue and interfering and I had the same thought, if the FCC sends a new father to prison for not letting a dude in to go after his baby monitor, that would definitely be a headline
