Connecting devices to Plusnet WiFi

Finding your wireless name and password
The wireless name is the wireless SSID and password is the wireless key. You’ll find the info you need on a sticker on the bottom or back of the router or on a pull-out tab. The SSID will look something like this: PLUSNET-1A2B3C or PlusnetWireless1A2B3C.
Your wireless key might sometimes be called the WPA PSK. The key is made up of a series of numbers and upper and lower case letters.
