What are the control buttons?

On-off switch – push the button that is underneath the unit on the right-hand side. The unit is on when the button is pressed in.

• Wireless button – this can be found on the bottom left of the front panel and will be illuminated when the unit is switched on. The wireless button has two functions:
• It is used to switch the wireless network access on or off. The default mode for wireless is ‘on’. To switch the wireless (WLAN) off, press and hold the wireless button for 1 to 2 seconds. The wireless LED indicator will go out when the wireless is switched off. To switch the wireless back on, simply press and hold this button for a further 20 to 30 seconds. Please note that the wireless can also be disabled from the graphical user interface
• It can be used for the pairing of wireless devices using WPS. This function is described in the section called Adding a WPS Client.

What is the reset switch?

On the left-side of the Super Hub, there's a small hole with the word RESET. To activate, the RESET switch must be depressed for 1 minute. This will restore the unit to the original factory setting. This means that all other settings will be lost and the set-up process will need to be repeated.
