Please note the following points about your new passphrase, which will help to
make it more secure:
•
it should include a mix of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and punctuation
•
it should be unique
•
it should not be easy for someone else to guess
•
it should not be your company name, location etc

Set up MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering. Every wireless and network
device has a unique identifier, called a MAC address. Your Fibre Hub uses the
MAC address to report on the devices that are connected to it. By setting up
MAC address filtering, you can choose which devices you’d like to connect to
your Fibre Hub and also block any devices that you don’t wish to allow access.

You have a choice of security levels. For extra security, you can change all your
devices or adapters to WPA2.
To configure your wireless settings:
1
open your web browser, type
http://home
or
http://192.168.1.254
(for your
Fibre Hub Manager) in the address bar and press
Enter
or your return key, or
double-click the
Hub Manager
icon on your desktop
2
click on the
Wireless
icon – the
Wireless Configuration
screen will appear
When you’ve made your changes, click
Save
before you close the window. You may
be asked to enter your password – if you haven’t changed it, the default password
is the same as the serial number on the bottom of your Fibre Hub. Please note: any
custom encryption key entered is shown as ••••••••••.
If you change your Fibre Hub’s Wi-Fi key or network name/SSID, all your
wireless devices will lose their connection to your Fibre Hub. You’ll need to
reset each device to match the new wireless settings.
You can get more help on changing and configuring your wireless settings using
your set-up CD.
