Connecting an additional computer
If you want to connect an additional computer to the Home Hub wirelessly:
1. Unplug any existing modem connections
2. Make sure that you that have a wireless adapter installed or that your built-in wireless is switched on
3. Insert the BT Total Broadband CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions
Setting up a wireless connection manually
We recommend that you use the BT Total Broadband CD to set up your computer's wireless connection to the Hub. However, in the unlikely event that the CD doesn't recognise your wireless adapter, or you want to connect a device that hasn't a CD drive (e.g. PDA, games console), follow the steps below to connect.
Before you start:
1. Check that the BT Home Hub is switched on
2. Place your computer close to the Home Hub so you are getting a good signal during setup
3. Unplug any USB or Ethernet cable currently connecting your computer to the Home Hub
4. Make sure that you that have a wireless adapter installed or that your built-in wireless is switched on
5. Read your Home Hub's SSID and wireless key from the label on the back. It will be useful to write these numbers down.
