If you’ve a wired device
Simply plug its Ethernet cable
(yellow ends) into one of the spare
Ethernet (yellow) ports on the
back of your Hub.
To get the best speed possible on
connections that support 80Mb
speeds or over, we recommend
you use the GigE socket (port 4).
You’ll then need to check your network login
details in your Hub Manager (see page 13).
If you’ve a wireless device such as laptop, netbook or smartphone
Use its wireless feature to connect to your Hub. You’ll need your Hub’s wireless network
name and wireless key. You can find these on your Hub’s handy pull-out (see page 12)
– there’s a space on page 23 for you to keep a note of these details. Once you’ve found
these, follow the instructions that came with your device – for the Hub, read on.
If you’re trying to connect a computer or a device, turn on its wireless – there’s usually
some sort of switch. Then try hovering your mouse or cursor over the icons in your
computer’s system tray or status bar, and look for a wireless icon. If you’re using
Windows Vista or XP, you can also try clicking Start then Connect to… .
If your computer’s got a wireless connection, find your Hub’s wireless network name
in any list displayed (it will start with ‘BTHub3...’), highlight it and click Connect. If you
need to, type in your Hub’s wireless key.
You’ll then need to check your network login details in your Hub Manager (see page 13).
