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.
