Network
These settings affect the connection to the mobile (wide area) network or WAN.
Network - Connections
The AT&T Home Base automatically selects the optimal mobile network. In some
cases, you can also select a network manually (Manual Network Selection). This
feature is only useful if multiple networks are available. If this setting is enabled, the
device connects only to the specified network.
WAN (Wide Area Network) Connection Mode: Indicates if Automatic or Manual
Network Selection is in use. If you want to select Manual, you must first click the
"Turn Internet Off" button on the AT&T Home Base Manager Home screen to
disconnect from the Internet. Then, return to this section and select Manual and
click "Apply." Note: You will need to return to the Home screen and click "Turn
Internet On" to re-enable your Internet connection.
Signal Strength: Indicates the type of network connection the AT&T Home Base
is currently using. There is also a Signal Strength value based on current conditions.
