CONTINUALLY REBOOTING THE ATT HOMEBASE?
This is my third year with ATT homebase. I have replaced the unit once, early last summer. Now, I am having the same problems which caused me to return the first one (which was NOT an easy procedure!):
A. Seemless -60 to -70 dBm most of the time, but
B. 5-10 times a day (from 06:00 until 23:30, most days) suddenly slows down, stops, no email, no phone service, no internet connection. Check the ATT HOMEBASE SOFTWARE settings/network, only to find strength has deteriorated to -92 to -95 dBm.
C. Unplug HOMEBASE, turn off, remove battery, replace, plug in, turn on.
D. Wait 3-4 minutes for reboot.
E. Back to -62 dBm, for awhile.
F. FIVE TO 10 TIMES A DAY!!! Up the stairs, down the stairs.
G. Is ATT slowing down my connection during peak hours???
Fun fun fun!!!!

Well...so much for assistance with this ATT HOMEBASE PROBLEM! I guess that it is simply another good idea which wasn't tested enough prior to release. I will look for another solution, from another provider.
