11. Is the NetComm Smart Hub 4G secure; can other people access my wireless network?
The NetComm Smart Hub 4G comes configured with WPA-PSK Wi-Fi security enabled. When access the Internet for the
first time enter 192.168.20.1 into the address bar of a web browser. The wizard will pop up to help you configure your
wireless devices (such as laptops and mobile phones) to connect with the WPA-PSK security setting (please see the Quick
Start Guide for more information on connecting your data devices to the NetComm Smart Hub 4G). Only those people you
allow will be able to connect to the NetComm Smart Hub 4G the router using the wireless security key, ensuring your
connection is secure and safe.
12. Can I change the name and password of my wireless network?
Yes. You can change your NetComm Smart Hub 4G settings from the browser user interface by typing 192.168.20.1 into
the address bar of your Web browser. You can change the SSID (Service Set Identifier or wireless network name), wireless
security standard (WPA, WPA2, WEP) and your Wi-Fi password.
13. How do I share my Internet connection, using the NetComm Smart Hub 4G, with other users?
Provide any users you want to share your Wi-Fi Internet connection with, the SSID (Service Set Identifier) and Wi-Fi
network password for your NetComm Smart Hub 4G router. Each user will need to select the NetComm Smart Hub 4G
SSID, on their Wi-Fi enabled computer or device and enter the network password you provide.
14. What is the difference between upload and download speeds and why do they differ?
Upload describes when data packets are sent (e.g. emails) from your computer and download describes when data
packets are received via the Internet. For most people, downloading data for information retrieval (such as viewing a
website) is the primary function of their internet connection so most Internet service Providers will assign a higher
download bandwidth (equating to a higher speed) than that assigned for uploading data. The speeds at which upload and
download operate depend on the way you use the Internet and the size of files you send and receive.
15. Do I need to attach an antenna on this device?
Yes. Your NetComm Smart Hub 4G comes equipped with an antenna; you will need to attach the 4G antenna to send and
receive data using the 4G network broadcast signal.
16. I have lost the security card that came with the setup instructions. What can I do?
If you have lost your security card, and forgotten the wireless security details (SSID and Wi-Fi network password), there is a
label stuck to the base of your NetComm Smart Hub 4G with all your original security details. If the label is unreadable or
has been removed, the Wi-Fi network password can be viewed/reset by logging in to the Management Console using an
Ethernet Cable connected to the LAN port of the NetComm Smart Hub 4G.
17. I forgot my Management Console password. What can I do?

will flash when your device is reset. After a factory reset, use the default Wi-Fi settings (SSID and WPA key) to access the
router via wireless. These settings can be found on the base of your NetComm Smart Hub 4G. (Note - this will also reset
any custom settings and passwords you may have already set up).
