Getting ready for your new broadband
We’ve arranged for an engineer to come and
set up your Hub. Here’s what you need to do
to get ready and what to do once they’ve got
you connected.
Your new equipment
Keep your new Smart Hub somewhere safe for when the engineer
comes to set up your broadband.
Installing Business Broadband at your premises
The engineer will help you decide the best place for your Hub.
They might also suggest installing some extra cabling to give you
the fastest speeds and best wireless coverage.
Power sockets
The engineer will usually t the Hub near a main phone socket.
So make sure you’ve got a spare power socket there or have an
extension cable available.
Alarms
If you’ve got an alarm on your phone line, please tell the alarm
provider that there might be a false alert while we’re installing
your broadband.
A blue light shows your Hub is ready.
Once everything’s set up
When your Hub is connected and your broadband is up and running,
the Hub’s light will glow blue.
Now you can connect your devices, nish setting up online with
Smart Setup and switch on Guest Wi-.

Switch on Guest Wi-Fi
Oer free, secure wi- for your guests – without the need
for a password.
You’ll like Guest Wi-Fi because:
your network is safe and secure
guests won’t need a password
they’ll be happier and stay longer
your private network is prioritised.
Note: Guest Wi-Fi can have up to 13 users at a time.
Performance will vary with your broadband speed.

feedback, head over to bt.com/business/guestwi

into the address bar to open your Hub Manager.
3Click on the Public Wi-Fi tile (beneath Wireless).
4Enter your Admin password (it’s on the card on the back of your
Hub – it’s not the same as your Wireless password).
5Toggle Guest Wi-Fi on and conrm you want to make the change.
6Once it’s ready BT_Guest_Wi-Fi will be shown as ‘Active’, but
sometimes it will appear in your devices’ available wi- networks
before the Hub Manager shows it is ready. It usually takes a few
minutes but can take up to 24 hours to turn on.
