Setting up the Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub – step by step
- Connect the Wi-Fi Hub to your NBN connection (the correct port depends on your NBN type – WAN/Internet for FTTP/HFC, DSL for FTTN).
- Plug in the supplied power adapter and switch it on.
- Wait about 20 minutes – the Hub boots and auto-configures itself the first time. Don’t unplug it during this step.
- When the Power, Internet and Wi-Fi lights are solid green, you’re online.
- Join Wi-Fi using the network name and password on the label underneath the Hub.

| Internet not green after 20 min | Still configuring or a connection fault |
| 4G / LTE light on | Running on mobile backup, not the fixed line |
| Red / no internet light | No connection – needs troubleshooting |
To change settings, go to 192.168.1.1 and log in with the password on the Hub’s underside label.
