By default, the TV-Hub’s wireless settings are 
configured for the following:

• Wireless Mode: AP (Access Point)

• SSID: TV-Hub-<TV-Hub serial number>

• IP Address: 172.16.0.1

• Security  Mode:  Off

KVH strongly advises that you select the 

WPA_PSK

 security mode as shown in Figure 34 

and assign a unique password to prevent 
unauthorized access to the TV-Hub (at the web 
interface, go to Settings > Network Settings). If 
you keep the default settings, you’re allowing 
anyone to access the TV-Hub with their mobile 
device.

Figure 34:  TV-Hub Security and Password Setting

KVH strongly recommends that you keep the 
TV-Hub set to AP (Access Point) wireless 
mode. If you select IF (Infrastructure) mode to 
connect the TV-Hub to your vehicle’s 
network, you will no longer be able to access 
the TV-Hub’s web interface directly.

IMPORTANT!

Secure the Wi-Fi Connection
