My Iphone Will Not Connect To My Microcell

My iPhone Will Not Connect to My MicroCell


The AT&T MicroCell is a product designed to boost cell phone reception for those who have poor indoor cell service. The MicroCell uses your home's broadband connection to route cell phone calls through the Internet, ensuring you can make and receive calls even if AT&T's signal can't penetrate your walls. Apple's iPhone has been known to have issues connecting to the MicroCell, but these problems can usually be remedied in a few steps.


Instructions


1. Power cycle the AT&T MicroCell. This requires unplugging the device and waiting approximately 30 seconds.


2. Plug the MicroCell back in and check your iPhone to see if a connection can be made. If not, continue to Step 3.


3. Tap the "Settings" icon on your iPhone, then select "General" and choose "Network." Turn on "Airplane Mode" by tapping the switch and wait approximately 30 seconds.


4. Turn "Airplane Mode" off and wait for your iPhone to regain a cell signal. The iPhone should now detect the MicroCell. If you still can't connect to the MicroCell, you may need to take the device back to AT&T for an exchange.
