Materials You’ll Need:
- Cox Homelife Hub

- Access the Hub’s User Interface:
- Open a web browser on a computer or mobile device that’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want to connect the hub to.
- Enter the Hub’s IP Address:
- In the web browser’s address bar, enter the IP address of your Cox Homelife Hub. The IP address can usually be found in the user manual or setup instructions that came with the hub.
- Log In:
- You will be prompted to log in to the hub’s user interface. Use the provided username and password, which should also be in the user manual or setup instructions. If you haven’t changed the default login credentials, they are typically set to something like “admin” for the username and “password” for the password.

- Select Your Wi-Fi Network:
- After the scan, a list of available Wi-Fi networks should appear. Locate and select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
- Enter Wi-Fi Credentials:
- You will be prompted to enter the Wi-Fi network’s name (SSID) and password. Ensure that you enter this information correctly.
- Connect to Wi-Fi:
- After entering the Wi-Fi credentials, confirm the settings, and the Cox Homelife Hub should attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network. This process may take a moment.
- Verify Connection:
- Once connected, you should see an indication in the hub’s user interface that it is successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network.
- Test the Connection:
- To ensure the connection is working correctly, you can test the hub by accessing its features through the Cox Homelife app or web portal.
