Change Sky Max Hub Wifi name

[dantwilliams]

I've just had the Sky Max Hub installed and want to rename the Wifi SSID and password so I don't have to reconfigure all my devices to connect to a new SSID.

I tried logging in to http://192.168.0.1 but the option to change it is greyed out as it says "Wi-Fi Mode, Security Mode, Channel Selection, Channel Mode, and Channel Bandwidth are being managed automatically to help optimize your home Wi-Fi network and improve Wi-Fi coverage. To edit your Wi-Fi Network Name & Network password, please download the My Sky app."

I have the app already but don't see the Sky Max Hub under Product Settings as instructed at https://www.sky.com/help/articles/change-wifi-max-hub-settings.

It says if you can't see this option? You might not have completed the hub setup. Follow the steps to finish Setting up your Sky Max Hub

That link just tells you to download the app!!!

Why is it soo difficult just to change the Wifi name?!

Unfortunately you have run into one of the main annoyances of new Sky Max hub owners, the hub wont appear in the app until its been online for about 24-48hrs so you cant change your hubs SSID for the first 24-48hrs.

Looks like it's showing in the app now. Must have got lucky!
