First, we need to get you activated Make sure you have your account number and area reference handy. All done? Great! Let's start by getting your old kit uninstalled.

Connect one end of the ethernet cable to your new Hub Now, we can plug the power supply into a mains socket. Then connect the other end to your new Hub. Switch the mains socket on, and switch on your new Hub. Your new Hub will now download the latest software. After 3 minutes, you'll need to reboot the Hub... by switching the power off and on again. The lights on your Hub should flash and it may turn off and on again a few times. Once the white light at the base is solid, we can move on to the next step! This might take up to 30 minutes.
