Tips
•
You can connect a phone and Hub to the same ADSL filter.
•
You can connect two phones to the same ADSL filter if you use a
socket doubler.
•
An ADSL filter should be at one or the other end of an extension lead only,
not both.
•
If you’re using an extension lead for your Hub, the ADSL filter must be
fitted at the same end as the Hub.
•
If you’ve a socket, but there’s nothing plugged into it, you don’t need
an ADSL filter.

Q
How do I make a connection to my computer without using the CD?
The steps to follow are slightly different depending on what you’re connecting (e.g.
a computer, games console or other device) and how you’re going to connect it
(e.g. are you going to use wireless or the Ethernet cable).
Choose what you want to connect. I want to connect my:
•
computer using wireless – go to
A
•
games console or other device using wireless – go to
B
•
computer using the Ethernet cable – go to
C
•
games console or other device using the Ethernet cable – go to
D
If you aren’t sure whether to use wireless or the Ethernet cable, see page 3.
A
I want to connect my computer using wireless
1
If your computer is already connected to your Hub using an Ethernet cable,
unplug this cable.
2
Place your computer close to your 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 on wireless 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, g or n compliant.
If you don’t have a wireless adapter or your computer isn’t wireless enabled,
see page 3.
4
Find your Hub’s preset network name/SSID and wireless key. These are printed
on your wireless settings card (found in your Hub’s box) and also on the back of
your Hub (see illustration on next page).

Find your Hub’s wireless settings and type them into your wireless device when

need to make any changes to your Hub – the connection should start working
