Help with WiFi password parameters

Question 
Hello people, I've recently started getting into cybersecurity as an addition to my IT Technician course. I'm wondering if anyone could help me with some parameters using the hashcat command line in Windows so that I can search for numerical values and lowercase alphanumerical values. I've referenced the masking page, but I am still a bit confused. If anyone could lay it out simply for me, that would be a huge help!

Previously successful in cracking my own TP-Link router using its hash, with this command line:

hashcat.exe -m 22000 hash.hc22000 -a 3 --increment --increment-min 8 --increment-max 12 ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

I understand this command as running an increment from 00000000-999999999999, which was perfect for my specific use case as I knew the password for my own router already to be within that range and only contain numerical values.


The problem

Now I want to test my Vodafone network, I know it falls between the same increment range as my last crack attempt (between 8 and 12 digit passcode) but now I want to include lowercase letters to this and also have it run through all those combinations as brute force attack.

I'm assuming I can still use this prompt as is but I'm not sure what to add after that to be able to introduce those lowercase alphanumerical values too:

hashcat.exe -m 22000 hash.hc22000

Thank you for the quick response and a link to the appropriate help page!
