Your wireless details are supplied on the magnetic
Wi-Fi Security Card and can also be found underneath your
modem.
• Open your wireless connections on your device and
search for the Wi-Fi Network Name. You can connect
to the 2.4 or 5Ghz connection depending on what type
of connection is supported by your devices.

The 5GHz network provides higher transfer
rates, we recommend that you use the 5GHz if
visible.
Your 2.4 GHz network has slower speeds but
greater range. If you are experiencing issues at
the edge of your house, or are using an older
device that can only see this network – this is the
one to use.
TIP
Step
7Connecting via Ethernet
Connect the yellow ethernet cable to one of the yellow
LAN ports on the back of the Wi-Fi Hub+ and connect the
other end into the ethernet port on your device.
Connecting via an ethernet cable will provide
you with faster speeds than when you connect
via Wi-Fi. You can connect up to 4 devices
directly to the Wi-Fi Hub+ via an ethernet cable.
