A quick setup guide for the Optify MediaHub 3

A MediaHub provides the following benefits:

• You get your own private and secure Wi-Fi network.
• You will be able to access the Optify network with multiple devices, as the MediaHub adds 4 wired ports in addition to Wi-Fi.
• Your connection won't be affected by other traffic, so Wi-Fi speed should be better.

For more information, see our MediaHub page.

You can buy a MediaHub by visiting My Account or through Customer Care.

Don't forget that MediaHubs will only work at certain Optify sites. See our MediaHub page for more details.

Yes. Our MediaHubs come with a 12-month warranty.

We can arrange for a new one to be sent out to you free of charge only if:

• it is within the 12-month warranty period,
• it is faulty beyond repair, and
• the damage has not been caused by accident.

If the MediaHub is out of warranty, you will have to pay the full price for a replacement.

Once logged in, just follow these simple steps to change your Wi-Fi password:

1. Click on “configuration”, click on “Wireless” and then click “Security”.
2. In “Manual Setup”, select the SSID for which you want to change the password.

Port forwarding is the way of making a computer on your home network accessible to computers on the internet even though it is behind a router.

We have written a short guide to setting up port forwarding on your Home Hub. You can find it here.

It is a bit of a technical process, so if you're having trouble, contact our Customer Care team and they will be happy to help you.
