Check if your Connection Hub is connected to the Internet

  1. Open your web browser.
  2. Type http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar and press Enter.

    Password: admin
  4. In the Services Connection Status section of the screen:
  • WAN Status should say Connected.
  • Internet Status should say Connected.
  • TV Status is related to Bell Fibe™ TV and does not affect your Internet connection
