Your Three Mobile Broadband Wi-Fi hub allows
you to create a secure Wi-Fi connection using
your USB dongle. This means you can now
connect multiple devices to your dongle, like
laptops, tablets, games consoles and even
smartphones, all at the same time.

Our network is an advanced 3G
network designed to give you
a faster, smoother experience
when using Mobile Broadband.
And we have the UK’s biggest
3G network so you’ll get a 3G
signal more often and in more
places than on other networks.
It’s important to position
your hub where you have the
strongest signal, as this is
where Mobile Broadband works
best – like upstairs near a
window. The Wi-Fi means that
you can be online wherever you
like nearby, so you’re not tied to
using a cable.

Security.
Your Mobile Broadband Wi-Fi Hub is password
protected with unique codes so that no-one else
can use your Wi-Fi connection. This is so you can
keep your details safe when you’re online.
The unique codes are called SSID
(Mobile Broadband Wi-Fi Hub name) and
Wi-Fi Key (unique password). You’ll find
them on a sticker attached to the base of
your Wi-Fi hub.

The easiest way to manage your account
online is to plug your dongle directly into the
