Connect computer using wireless without the CD
1 If your computer is already connected to your BT Business Hub using an Ethernet cable,
unplug this cable.
2 Place your computer close to the Hub for a good wireless signal.
3 If you haven’t already, install your wireless adapter in your computer using the adapter
manufacturer’s instructions. If you’re using a laptop with built-in wireless, turn wireless on
by either using the wireless switch (if your computer has one) or activating wireless from
within your wireless software. Your wireless adapter must be 802.11b or g compatible.
4 Find your Hub’s preset wireless network name/SSID and Wi-Fi key. These are printed on your
wireless settings card (found in your BT Business Hub’s box) and also on the bottom of your Hub.
5 Follow the instructions for your computer’s operating system below or, if your wireless
adapter has its own software, use this to set up your wireless connection – its help function
may be useful if you aren’t sure how to do this.
