BT Wi-Fi<\/a> disc helps you extend the internet signal to your whole house and makes the internet connection much better! But, before you start enjoying your new gadget, you\u2019ll need to set it up. Thankfully, if you follow our easy steps, you\u2019ll be able to make the most of your fast internet connection in no time!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Set Up the BT Wi-Fi Disc via the Ethernet Cable<\/h2>\n

The first way you can set the BT Wi-Fi Disc up is via the Ethernet cable<\/a> that came with your BT hub. In case yours is damaged, you shouldn\u2019t try to use it, as that can be pretty dangerous. Simply go to the nearest store or order a new one online. <\/span><\/p>\n

Connecting the BT Disc<\/h3>\n

Once you have the Ethernet cable, you should plug one end into the yellow socket that\u2019s on the back of the disc. The socket will have \u201cEthernet\u201d written above it. Then, you\u2019ll have to connect the BT disc to the power outlet. <\/span><\/p>\n

The other end of the Ethernet cable should go into the BT hub. You\u2019ll then have to wait for a few seconds for the connection to be made. You\u2019ll know that the hub and the disc are successfully linked once you see a solid blue light on the BT disc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ethernet<\/p>\n

Your next step will be unplugging the disc from the cable. Then, move it to a more suitable location in your home. The blue light will inform you when the disc is at its optimal place. If you don\u2019t want to spend too much time trying to find the best place to put your BT disc, we have some tips you might find useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, you should try placing the disc halfway between the hub and the room where you\u2019ll need the strongest internet signal. In case you need the stronger signal upstairs<\/a>, and the hub is on the ground floor, the disc should be near the top of the ceiling of the ground floor or near the floor of the second one. But you should never place the BT disc on the ground. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to find some type of stand to place the disc on. That\u2019s because the floor can mess up the internet connection<\/a>. In addition, the BT disc shouldn\u2019t be near any other electrical devices. Moreover, it\u2019s best to place it in a room that you ventilate more often.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Set Up the BT Wi-Fi Disc via the Mobile App<\/h2>\n

The BT Mobile app now goes under the name \u201cMy BT.\u201d You should switch to the My BT if you already have an app, as the original app will be closing pretty soon. Thankfully, My BT is so much easier to manage. <\/span><\/p>\n

The new version will allow you to quickly check the mobile allowance and data usage. What\u2019s more, you will be able to check, download, as well as pay your bills. Furthermore, you\u2019ll have the option to track orders and faults. Finally, the My BT app will let you test the speed and check BT services in the area where you live.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting Up the My BT app<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not the mobile account holder, you will need to ask the original holder to create a separate ID for your part of the account. We should mention that, once you receive the BT ID, you\u2019ll only see your own BT usage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re the BT account holder, you should log into your account with your username and password<\/a>. If you forgot your info, you\u2019d easily be able to get them on the official BT website<\/a>. Those without an account will also have to visit the BT site to set it up. You\u2019ll need to put your BT phone number and postcode to create it.<\/span><\/p>\n
