Your Bt hub has an in-built security system that scrambles the signal it sends.
It does this with an encryption code, so the signal doesn’t make any sense to other computers.
We then give you a unique code (called a wireless key) to enter into your computer so you’re the only one who can pick up your Hub’s signal.
