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.

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.
