Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Setting up your BT Mini Wi-Fi Home Hotspot 600 Kit is straightforward:
- Plug in the first adapter: Plug one of the BT Mini adapters directly into a wall power socket near your internet router. Avoid power strips or extension cords.
- Connect to your router: Use an Ethernet cable to connect this adapter to an available LAN port on your internet router.
- Plug in the second adapter: Take the second BT Mini adapter (the Wi-Fi hotspot unit) and plug it into a wall power socket in the room where you need extended Wi-Fi or wired access.
- Pairing: The adapters should automatically pair. If not, press the 'Pair' button on the first adapter, then within two minutes, press the 'Pair' button on the second adapter. The lights on both units should indicate a successful connection.
- Connect to Wi-Fi/Ethernet: Once paired, you can connect your Wi-Fi devices to the new hotspot (look for the network name and password on the adapter or included card) or connect a device via an Ethernet cable to the second adapter's port.
Compatibility
- Electrical Outlets: Compatible with standard electrical wall outlets. For best performance, always plug directly into the wall.
- Network Devices: Works with any Ethernet-enabled router and any Wi-Fi enabled device (smartphones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles, etc.).
- Existing Powerline: While generally compatible with other HomePlug AV standard powerline adapters, using adapters from the same brand and series is recommended for optimal performance and reliable pairing.
Care and Maintenance
- Placement: Ensure the adapters are plugged directly into wall outlets. Avoid covering them to allow for proper ventilation.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the adapters with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Environment: Keep the adapters away from excessive heat, cold, or humidity. Ensure they are in a well-ventilated area.
- Safety: Do not open the casing of the adapters. Refer any servicing to qualified personnel.
