Advice please. Need to connect existing cable internet connection to new computer

[hackneyuser]

I have searched site and cant find info.

So after many years I am getting a new Windows computer.

Apart from loss of connection last year (eventually sorted) hub and computer connection all working.

But I realise I have no idea how to connect I new computer.

Do I just plug in the cable currently connected to my old computer into my new computer. Or ... ?

If there is a help page about this happy to try and follow but cant find anything on VM website.

Thanks

Generally, yes. For wired (Ethernet) devices you can simply unplug the Ethernet cable from your old computer and plug it into your new computer.

Should work straight away.

For your wireless (Wi-Fi) devices you'll need your Wi-Fi password which is usually printed somewhere on your Hub.

Many thanks for your reply.

I sort of assumed that, and I do have a wired connection.

Which is just as well as I have no idea what my wi-fi password is!

Unless you've made a change the WiFi SSID and password are on a label on the hub.

Thanks for that info about password.

I should have realised as I have used that to link a set top (tv) box to my hub!
