How to set up your Wi-Fi Hub
1. Place your Wi-Fi Hub in a location that is away from direct sunlight, metal equipment
and other devices that may interfere or cause Wi-Fi signal loss (e.g. microwave ovens,
cordless phone). If you can, place your Wi-Fi Hub in an elevated position as Wi-Fi
signals spread out and towards the ground, not upwards.
2. Connect the Wi-Fi Hub to its power adapter and plug it into a power supply.
3. Press the Power button to power on the Wi-Fi hub. The front LED lights on the Wi-Fi
Hub should light up with the Power light eventually turning a solid green.
Setting Up: Basics
Note:
• First make sure that your Internet connection has been set up and working properly. Your ONT
should be connected to your bre Termination Point (TP) and turned on for at least 2 minutes
before setting up your Wi-Fi Hub. There should also be no red or yellow lights on your ONT.
11Setting Up: Basics
4. Plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the red WAN port at the back of the Wi-Fi
Hub.
5. Plug the other end of your Ethernet cable into the ONT’s active Internet port (the ONT
active port is usually Port 1, unless you have more than 1 broadband subscription in
your house, then it might be Port 2).
5. The light in the top-left corner of the Wi-Fi Hub’s LAN port should blink green once an
Internet connection has been established.
6. If you look at the front of the Wi-Fi Hub, the WAN LED light should start blinking green,
indicating that the Internet connection is active and data is being transmitted.
