Plug things in

Unplug any existing broadband kit, then:
1. Connect your new Hub directly to your master phone socket 

using the broadband cable (light grey ends) and filter

2. Slide the two parts of the power supply together, connect 

power cable and switch on at the socket

3. Press the Power button on the back of the Hub to turn it on.
4. Wait a couple of minutes. Coloured lights will flash while 

the Hub tests itself and your broadband. A steady blue light 

means your broadband’s ready to use. If the light doesn’t turn 

blue, carry on to step 2 and the Hub will help you fix things.

If you’ve got a double socket like one of these, you don’t 
need to use a filter.
