3 To install your second hotspot, repeat steps 1 and 2.
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.
1Use the wireless connection software or settings on your device to display the list of available wireless networks in your area.
2Find your hotspot in the list and select it; it’s called BTHomeSpot-XXX.
3Enter your hotspot’s wireless key printed on the pull-out card.
4Complete the connection on your device. Your device will work on both hotspots as they have the same name (SSID) and wireless key.
The hotspot name (SSID) and wireless key can be found on the pull-out card at the back of the hotspot.
Wirelessnetwork/SSID:
BTHomeSpot-XXX
Wireless key:
XXXXXXXX
Admin password:
XXXXXXX
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.
1Plug 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.
3Within 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.
4Wait 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.
