3 Connect your devices

You can connect your devices using wi-fi or the ethernet cable.

The hotspot can support separate devices connected to the ethernet ports and wi-fi
at the same time.

To connect using wi-fi

The hotspot supports easy wi-fi connection with its WPS button. If your device
also supports WPS, you can use it instead of manually connecting your device.
Just follow the instructions on the device you’re trying to connect to the hotspot.

1 Use the wireless connection software

or settings on your device to display
the list of available wireless networks
in your area.

2 Find your hotspot in the list and select it;

it’s called BTHomeSpot-XXX.

3 Enter your hotspot’s wireless key

The hotspot name (SSID) and wireless
key can be found on the pull-out
card at the back of the hotspot.

Wireless network/SSID:

BTHomeSpot-XXX

Wireless key:

XXXXXXXX

printed on the pull-out card.

Admin password:

4 Complete the connection on your device.

XXXXXXX

Your device will work on both hotspots
as they have the same name (SSID) and
wireless key.

Your new Wi-Fi Home Hotspot and your existing wireless broadband router will
show up as two separate networks. If your device shows both networks, it’s worth
giving both of them a go as one might be faster and more reliable than the other.

Wi-Fi cloning optional feature

The hotspot supports an additional wi-fi cloning feature that enables it to clone
your router’s name (SSID) and wireless key. If your device (e.g. laptop) is already
configured to connect to your router, it will automatically connect to your new
hotspot. This feature requires your router to support WPS; most recent routers do
e.g. BT Home Hub 3 and later.

1 Plug the hotspot into a power socket near your broadband wireless router (e.g. in the

same room). Wait until the Wireless light is steady green.

2 Press the WPS button on your router.
3 Within 2 minutes, press and hold the WPS/Link button on the hotspot for at least

15 seconds, until the Wireless light flashes orange and green.

4 Wait until the Wireless light returns to steady green. Now plug the hotspot back in

where you want to extend coverage and wait for it to restart.

5 When in range, your wi-fi device will automatically connect to the hotspot.
