What’s BT Connection Manager?

BT Connection Manager allows you to connect your laptop to

the Internet using Ethernet, Wi-Fi (including your BT Home

Hub, BT Openzone, and BT FON) and the BT Mobile network

(HSPA, 3G, GPRS).

It searches for the best available network in your location and

allows you to connect to the internet.

If necessary, use the enclosed

USB cable to connect in

conned spaces.

You have a choice of how to make this rst connection to complete

the setup.

i. If you’re in range of a Wi-Fi network, you can connect using Wi-Fi.

connect to the BT Mobile network using your starter credit.

Either way it will only take a few minutes.

Connect using Wi-Fi

1. Make sure you’re in range of your BT Home Hub (or similar wireless

router); also ensure it’s switched on and working. Make a note of the
