Plug in your BT Business Smart Hub as soon as you can, so we can get your new connection up and running. We'll email or text you to confirm when your broadband's ready.
If we've arranged for an engineer to set up your broadband, just give them your new BT Business Smart Hub – and relax!

Step 1: Connect your BT Business Smart Hub to the phone socket

Plug your broadband cable (the one with grey ends) into your Smart Hub.
Plug the other end into your phone lines master socket. It can't be an extension socket.
If the cable doesn't fit the socket, use the filter we've sent with the Smart Hub.

You don't need an Openreach modem, just plug the line cord of the hub into the BT socket, plug the mains adapter in, and switch on. Use a filter if you don't have a double socket.

Step 2: Plug in and switch on

Slide the two parts of the Smart Hub's plug together until they click into place.
Connect the power cable to the Smart Hub and plug it in.
Switch on your Smart Hub and it'll light up after a few minutes, the light will turn blue.
You've set up your BT Business Broadband and it's working fine!

Step 3: Now you're online, connect your devices

In the wi-fi options on your device select the name of your Smart Hub (it’s on the back of it).
Enter the password that's on the back of your Smart Hub.
When you’re connected, open a web browser on your device and use Smart Setup to manage your Business Extras.

If your device has WPS, just press the WPS button on the back of the Smart Hub to connect without a password.

Prefer a wired connection? Use the Ethernet cable (yellow ends) to connect your device to the yellow Ethernet ports on the back of the Smart Hub.

Connect to your Hub's Wireless by selecting your Wireless Nertwork, then entering your password or key which are case sensitive. The WPS button is on the side of the hub.
