About the O2 Home Broadband advanced settings

The O2 Home Broadband advanced settings let you view and change settings that can't be altered using the set up CD. These include:

• Checking your connection speed accurately
• Seeing statistics for your connection
• Changing some of the security settings
• Returning to the O2 wireless box's standard settings
• Changing the name of your wireless network
• Viewing information about the computers connected to the O2 wireless box
  

The O2 Home Broadband advanced settings are stored on your O2 wireless box. You can access them through a web browser, so they're sometimes referred to as the 'web interface' or 'Router GUI'.

If you can, we recommend using the set up CD rather than the O2 Home Broadband advanced settings to make changes to your set up. This is because changing the advanced settings can affect your broadband if you’re not 100% sure on what you’re doing.

Most common tasks can be carried out using the set up CD, including adding computers to your connection and setting up a home network.
