How do i get into my bt homehub 2.1 to change the network name and code?

go to start all programs, hub managerHow do i get into my bt homehub 2.1 to change the network name and code?
Normally they provide a series of instructions to connect to the homehub (and any other router)



Last time i checked it was 192.168.1.254 the address to access the router (type this in internet explorer/Firefox), with

Admin, admin, Administrator or administrator as the user

and

Admin, admin, Administrator, administrator or password as the password



The one that usually works is Administrator as user and Administrator or password as the password





Then once youre in you click Home network, WLAN, configure, change the settings you want





Hope that helps!

:D







PS

If that address didnt work what you can do is find the Default Gateway Address

In XP

Go to My Network Places%26gt;View Network Connections%26gt;Right click Local Area Connection%26gt;Status%26gt;Support Tab



Now it should say Default Gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx

type that number into the web browser with the dots



In Vista

Go to Control Panel%26gt; Network and sharing center%26gt;Click view status%26gt;click details

Now it should say Default Gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx

type that number into the web browser with the dots
