Your Hub includes the seventh generation of Wi-Fi tech - an improvement on Wi-Fi 6 and 6E. Wi-Fi 7 provides a faster connection with lower latency, and the ability to manage more connected devices more securely.
Get to know your hub:
Setting up your router
Setting up your router
Our engineers will set up your brsk equipment during installation. However, if you ever need to do this yourself, follow these steps:
Connect the Ethernet cable:
Plug one end into the “ETHERNET” port on our fibre connection box (ONT).
Plug the other end into the red “WAN 2.5G port” port on the brsk hub.
Power up the devices:
Plug in the power cables and switch on both the fibre connection box (ONT) and the router.
Check the indicators:
Power light should be "white."
The “white” internet light on the router indicates that your service is live.
the WPS light should be blinking and "white" and WI-FI light should also be "white."
Will my devices work with Wi-Fi 7?
Will my devices work with Wi-Fi 7?
The latest devices (2023 onwards) are built to work on Wi-Fi 7, so you’ll feel the benefits immediately. If you have older phones, tablets, TVs, or smart gadgets, they’re still compatible with your Hub, but may won’t recognise the Wi-Fi 7 signal.
Here's why:
Older hardware doesn’t have the latest parts that understand Wi-Fi 7.
Different security rules - Wi-Fi 7 uses an upgraded security system called WPA3; older devices will only recognise WPA2.
New frequency bands – Wi-Fi 7 introduces a new, faster lane for data (6 GHz). Older devices use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz lanes, so they will only be able to see those.
Connect your devices to your router

To connect a mobile device to your Wi-Fi, scan the QR code on the back of the Hub. You can also connect devices via their Settings menu. Find your Wi-Fi network name and enter the password (Wi-Fi Key).
To connect older devices to your Wi-Fi
When you plug in your Hub, it will receive a software update to enable the ‘_legacy’ Wi-Fi network (SSID), which will support your older devices.
Go to your device’s Wi-Fi settings menu and select the network that includes ‘_legacy’ in the name to connect to.
Enter the password (Wi-Fi Key) found on the back of your Hub.

Simple steps to connect your home phone:
