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 ••••••••.

Wi-Fi - WPS
WPS, or Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is a standard that allows easy
establishment of a secure wireless home network. This feature
is set to Enable by default. If you change these settings, existing
connected devices may lose their connection.
WPS: You may Enable or Disable WPS by selecting the desired
option and clicking "Apply." When enabled, the following secondary
options will appear:
WPS Mode: You may select either PIN or PBC (Push-Button
Connection) by selecting the desired option and clicking "Apply."
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.
Note: Refer to your connecting device's documentation for specific
information on how to complete the WPS process on the desired
device.
