AT&T has a firewall named Active Armor, which blocks our IP address. You will need to disable it using the Smart Home Manager app. Once the Egg Genius has connected to your Wi-Fi router, you can re-enable it.  You can disable AT&T ActiveAmor via Mobile App "Smart Home Manager" and tap on upper right for "Chat" icon, then send a message "disable activearmor", then "Yes'. 

The Egg Genius will only connect to a 2.4 GHz connection. Please be sure that your 2.4 GHz connection is enabled and discoverable. You may need to contact AT&T to confirm.
