Mr Whippy - 28/4/09 at 04:08 PM

just bought a new laptop but I don't know how to get the password for connecting it to next doors BTHomeHub (they've said I can use it, in fact I'm typing this on it right now...I don't have a landline btw)

The laptop is Vista and the homehub computer is XP but I can't see how I even find the blasted password my laptops saying it needs? why don't they ever make these things easy to use!!!

anyone know how to do this? please

there should be a little silver sticker on the back on the home hub

i had to ring them in the end, after an hour of fiddling, the call was 45 minutes so i would ask them to call you back, i can't remember whether the call was free or not.

yep, you need the network key from the back of the homehub.
