The wi-fi powerline name (SSID) and 
wireless key can be found on the 
sticker attached to this user guide 
and on the labels on the top and 
back of the wi-fi powerline.

To connect using wi-fi

The wi-fi powerline 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 wi-fi powerline.

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 wi-fi powerline in the list and 

select it; it’s called BTEssentials-XXX.

3

  Enter your wi-fi powerline’s wireless key  

printed on the sticker on this user guide.

4

  Complete the connection on your device.

Your new wi-fi powerline 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.
