Connections - AT&T Home Base User Manual

Wi-Fi - Security
Security settings will apply to all connected devices. If you change these settings,
existing connected devices may lose their connection.
Security Mode: Select the desired Wi-Fi security option.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is the latest and most secure method and should be
used if possible. No encryption allows other people to monitor your Wi-Fi
traffic and use your data plan to access the Internet. If at all possible, its use
should be avoided.
Wi-Fi Password (Network Key): If WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK was selected in the
Security Mode field, a Wi-Fi password is displayed. This password will need to be
entered on any device needing to connect to the AT&T Home Base via Wi-Fi. You
can change the Wi-Fi password by typing a new password directly into the text box.
Password Visibility: If this setting is enabled (On), the Wi-Fi password is readable
on the screen. If disabled (Off), the password appears as ••••••••.

PIN: If selected, you will need to specify a 4-digit or 8-digit PIN that other
devices will require to connect via this method. Enter the desired PIN
in the "Client PIN" field, then click "Apply."
PBC: If selected, this will act in the same way as manually pushing the
WPS button on the back of the AT&T Home Base. Within two (2) minutes,
you will need to activate WPS on the device you wish to connect to the
AT&T Home Base via a physical or virtual button in order to complete the
connection process.
