If you replace your existing modem or router with the BT Hub you may
experience a temporary discontinuation in service until your network
is restored. To ensure that you successfully install the BT Hub it is
recommended that you:
• Allow plenty of time
• Plan your network set up and installation of the BT Hub when
the discontinuation of service will have least impact to your business
• For help and advice with planning your set up, call BT Customer Services
on
0800 678 1030 or email [e-mail]
Things to do before you install the BT Hub
1 Make a note of your IP address range and default gateway address
of your existing modem or router
• This can be found by going to the Start menu on your computer,
then click
Run
• Type in cmd and click OK
• At the c:\> prompt, type in ipconfig and press return. If the IP address
range is
192.168.1.x and your default gateway is 192.168.1.1 the
BT Hub will seamlessly replace your existing router. If it is different
e.g.
192.168.2.x or another range you may need to check that all
computers and devices on your network are set to receive an
automatic IP address. It is not recommended that you use static
IP addressing in a local network.
2 Ensure all computers and devices on your existing network
are configured to accept an automatic IP address
• On your computer click the Start menu from the bottom left corner,
then
Control Panel
• Click either Network Connections (Windows
®
XP) or Network
and Dialup Connections
(Windows
