How to set up and get connected
1 Connect
•
Plug the broadband cable (grey
ends) into your Hub and the
other end into your master
phone socket.
•
A master socket is the main
socket for the phone line in your
home. It’s not an extension socket.
•
Depending on your socket type,
you might need to use a filter.
2 Plug in power
•
Slide the two parts of the Hub’s
power plug together until they
click into place.
•
Connect the power cable to your
Hub, plug it in at the wall and
switch the socket on.
3 Turn Hub on
•
Press the
Power
button on the
back of the Hub.
•
The light on the front will
change colours while your Hub
sets itself up.
This takes a few
minutes.
4 You’re online
•
Your Hub is ready when the
light turns steady blue.
•
If it isn’t blue, see page 8 for
help with connecting.
Set up your Hub
We’ll email or text you when your broadband is ready. You can then set up your BT Smart Hub.
To get the fastest possible speed with the new Hub: unplug all your old broadband kit, including the old power plug, filters and Ethernet cables.

including BT Parental Controls.
