How to manage Wi-Fi networks on a Home Hub 2000 modem

LIMITED WARRANTY – BATTERY FOR BELL FIBRE EQUIPMENT

Limited Warranty. Bell Canada (including Bell Aliant, a division of Bell Canada) (“Bell”) warrants to you as the original purchaser (“Purchaser” or “you”) the battery purchased for the Fibre Equipment (“Original Battery”) for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase of the Original Battery from Bell (“Warranty Period”) when used in the Fibre Equipment (“Warranty”). “Fibre Equipment” means the Home Hub 3000 modem or UPS (uninterruptible power supply), as applicable, provided by Bell in connection with certain of your Bell services. If the Original Battery fails due to a defect during the Warranty Period, Bell will replace the Original Battery with a new or refurbished battery (“Replacement Battery”). Any warranty coverage that remains during the Warranty Period on the Original Battery (when replaced with a Replacement Battery under this Warranty) will apply to the Replacement Battery. No Replacement Battery has any new or separate warranty coverage. Bell reserves the right to limit the number of Replacement Batteries provided to Purchaser during the Warranty Period.

My Battery Isn’t Working. What Should I Do? Ontario and Québec residents please call Bell at 1 866 310 BELL (2355) and residents of the Atlantic provinces please call 1 866 342-7367, so that Bell can confirm that the Original Battery is within the Warranty Period and attempt to diagnose and correct the malfunction over the telephone. Be sure to keep your proof of purchase to establish the date of purchase of the Original Battery; otherwise Bell may have to estimate the date of purchase.

Limited Warranty Exclusions. This Warranty does not cover any Original Battery or Replacement Battery (each, a Battery) that is:

  • damaged due to: abuse, neglect, misuse, accident, theft, vandalism, force majeure events (e.g. fire, flooding, infestation, freezing, power-surge), overcharging or alteration; improper or unauthorized repair, maintenance, installation, set-up or storage; or accessories, wiring or cabling;
  • merely discharged and can be recharged and returned to service;
  • in Fibre Equipment at a location other than a Bell service address or in a modem or device other than the Fibre Equipment; or
  • not owned by the Purchaser.

Exclusive Warranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law (which may vary province to province) and except where prohibited for Québec residents, this Warranty is exclusive and is in lieu of all other warranties, representations, guarantees, terms and conditions, express and/or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In addition to the rights described in this Warranty, Purchaser may also have other legal rights (which may vary province to province).

Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law and except where prohibited for Quebec residents, Bell's total cumulative maximum liability for negligence, breach of contract, tort or any other claims or causes of action, including fundamental breach, in connection with any Battery or this Warranty is limited to payment, upon request, for actual and direct damages up to a maximum amount equal to the purchase price of the Original Battery, and all other damages, including without limitation indirect, special, consequential, incidental, economic, exemplary or punitive damages, are excluded. You may also be subject to other limitations and exclusions of liability, and obligations, as set out in any Bell terms of service that apply to you. These terms survive the expiry of the Warranty.

Severability; Assignment; Effective Date; Agreement. If any provision of this Warranty is unenforceable, all remaining provisions of this Warranty remain in full force and effect. This Warranty is not assignable by Purchaser. Original Warranty applies only to batteries purchased on or after April 23, 2017 until amended or superceded by Bell. You accept the terms of this Warranty on the earlier of the date you receive a copy or use the Original Battery. If you do not agree with the terms of this Warranty, you have 30 days from the date of your original purchase to return the Original Battery to Bell, unused, for a refund.

More Information. For more information, Ontario and Québec residents should visit www.bell.ca/battery or call Bell at 1 866 310 BELL (2355). Atlantic residents please visit www.bellaliant.ca/battery or call 1 866 342 7367.

Recycling instructions
Bell supports provincial battery recycling programs by remitting Environmental Handling Fees for designated products. For more information about the designated battery types and recycling depot locations, please visit the Call2recycle web-site http://www.call2recycle.ca/.

Edit your primary Wi-Fi network’s settings (advanced)

When in the basic view, click the Advanced view button at the top of the screen to access the advanced settings for your primary Wi-Fi network.

In addition to the settings found in the basic view, you can now configure the following:

Network tab

  • Broadcast SSID
    Displays your network name (SSID) so Wi-Fi devices can detect your network. If you turn it off, you will need to enter the network name manually on each device that wishes to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
  • Security mode
    Choose the encryption type to use. Devices will need to use the same encryption type to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
  • Transmit power
    You can set the power level of the antennas used to transmit the Wi-Fi signal. By default, it is set to 100% to ensure the best possible Wi-Fi coverage in your home.

General tab

  • Interface type
    You can select one of the available 802.11 standards (b, g, n, ac). It is set to Auto by default so that the modem can choose which Wi-Fi standard is right for the device that is connecting to your network.
  • Channel
    Setting the channel to the Auto mode allows the modem to automatically select the best available channel. When it detects too much interference with a channel it will move to another one (called channel hopping).
  • Channel bandwidth
    If left in Auto, your modem may be able to use larger channel bandwidth based on your Wi-Fi environment, which may increase speeds for some devices.
  • WMM
    Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) prioritizes traffic according to four access categories: voice, video, best effort and background. It is enabled by default.

Key features of your Wi-Fi network

Key features of your Wi-Fi network

The Home Hub 2000 is a premium modem and router that includes the latest Wi-Fi technology and features.

Wireless AC technology

The Home Hub 2000 supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac, so you can enjoy the fastest speeds and the best coverage. Because it also supports previous standards (802.11 a, b, g, n), nearly all Wi-Fi devices will be able to connect to your network.

Dual band

Your Home Hub 2000 modem can transmit its Wi-Fi signal on both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz wireless bands. It can transmit both at the same time to optimize your Wi-Fi performance or you can choose to use one or the other.

The 2.4 GHz band gives you the longest Wi-Fi range. Since many wireless products (cordless phones, baby monitors) also use the 2.4 GHz frequency, your Wi-Fi network can pick up interference from these devices, causing slower speeds and possible disconnects.

The 5 GHz band is faster and less likely to become congested. Because it is absorbed more by obstructions such as walls and floors, it doesn’t have as long a range as the 2.5 GHz band, yet still more than enough range to cover the area of a typical home.

Guest Wi-Fi network

You can set up a guest Wi-Fi network for visitors to your home. The guest network only provides access to the Internet. Guests don’t have access to the other devices on your network and cannot change your network’s settings.


Edit your primary Wi-Fi network’s settings (basic)

Edit your primary Wi-Fi network’s settings (basic)

To access the settings for your primary Wi-Fi network:

  1. Open your web browser.
  2. Enter bell.ca/homehub (or 192.168.2.1) in the address bar.
  3. Enter your administrator password. Unless you have changed it, the default password is “admin”.
  4. Click Log in.
  5. Click on the Wi-Fi settings button.

On the Wi-Fi settings page, you can edit the following:

Turning on your Wi-Fi network

To turn your Wi-Fi network on, set the Primary Wi-Fi network near the top of the screen to the ON position.

Once your primary network is on, you can turn on or off individual bands (2.4 or 5 GHz). For best coverage, set both to the ON position.

Network name (SSID) and password

The network name (SSID) is used to identify (or name) your network. When connecting with a device, you will see this name in the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Once your network is selected, you will need to enter its password from the device.

A network name and password are already provided and you will find them on a sticker on the back of the modem. You can also create your own to more easily identify your network.

IMPORTANT: When changing the network name or password, existing Wi-Fi devices will no longer find your network. Each device will need to reconnect to your network using the new settings.

Keep a common network name (SSID) and password for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

If you check this box (recommended), you’ll use a common network name (SSID) and password for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This allows the connecting device to choose the best network.

If you leave it unchecked, you’ll configure two unique network names (SSID) and passwords so that you can distinguish the two bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and decide which one to connect to.

  1. Open your web browser.
  2. Enter bell.ca/homehub (or 192.168.2.1) in the address bar.
  3. Enter your administrator password. Unless you have changed it, the default password is “admin”.
  4. Click Log in.
  5. Set the Guest setting to the ON position.

    Note: if you cannot turn on the guest network, you must first turn on the 2.4 GHz primary network above it.

Your guests can now connect to your Wi-Fi network using the network name (SSID) and the password displayed on the home screen.

To edit your guest Wi-Fi network’s settings:

  1. From your Home Hub’s home page, click the Wi-Fi settings button.
  2. In the left menu, click Guest.
  3. You can now edit the following settings:

      Note: The guest Wi-Fi uses the same network name for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Devices will connect to the proper band automatically.

    • Broadcast SSID
      Displays your network name (SSID) so Wi-Fi devices can detect your network. If you turn it off, you will need to enter the network name manually on each device that wishes to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

    • Security mode (advanced view only)
      Choose the encryption type to use. Devices will need to use the same encryption type to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
