Hi
Is there a way of switching off the wireless network temporary to stop kids using it all the time? Only wanting it off sometimes not all the time so would have to be a easy way and not upset any settings?

    While connected via an Ethernet cable, open your web browser and type bthomehub.home into the address bar and press enter. The default username and password for the Hub Manager are:

    Hub Manager username: admin
    Hub Manager password: admin

    Navigate to the wireless page and disable the wireless. Changed settings are stored automatically whenever you click ‘Apply’.

    you can only turn it off, the hub does not support scheduling like some routers (you can turn off access from specific machines at set times )
