How do I set up my BT Business Smart Hub 2 (Fibre Basic)?

It’s easy to get everything up and running, just follow the step-by-step instructions.

Engineer visit
If you’ve got an engineer coming to set-up your broadband, it’s even easier and you can sit back and relax. Just have your Hub ready for when they arrive.  

If you’ve ordered a Hybrid Connect device then you can get connected and online straight away without waiting for your broadband being activated. Just plug in your hub and add your device as shown on the packaging or read the setting up Hybrid Connect page.

How to install it yourself:

1. Remove your old hub

If you have one, switch off and unplug your existing hub before installing your new Business Smart Hub 2.

Unplug your old hub.

2. Check your phone socket

Use the master phone socket to make sure you get the best broadband connection.

3. Plug your hub into your phone socket

Plug one end of your broadband cable (the one with the grey ends) into your new hub and the other into the master socket or filter (if you're using one).

  • Use the broadband cable with grey ends.

5. Wait for a solid blue light

When you see this, your hub is ready. It can take a few minutes, so why not make yourself a cuppa in the meantime?
