The username and password on the back of the shub are the credentials you enter on the shub login page (http:192.168.0.1) to authenticate yourself and access the GUI. From there you can setup your wireless network and configure the SSID and more importantly your password. You can then tell your blu ray player to scan for wireless networks, picks your up, enter your password and all the info it needs for ip, default gateway etc etc should be sent automatically.
If you have any problems with your wireless keep dropping out (which I am sure you will) use a wired connection. You can get a 20m cat5e cable for a few £ and tack it round the wall.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, wired is not an option here because the superhub is upstairs and the Blu-Ray is downstairs. Also, can't remember if I changed the password when I first got the superhub, but I've reset it twice (holding reset for 30 seconds until the lights turn blue) and the 'admin/changeme' default password is not recognised. Initially I was using the passphrase and WPS pin with the Blu- Ray but they don't work with the device.
Right now, I'm trying to get through with typing the SSID manually. It gives me the following options
Open
WEP
WPAPSK (TKIP)
WPAPSK (AES)
WPAPSK (TKIP/AES)
WPA2PSK (TKIP)
WPA2PSK (AES)
WPA2PSK (TKIP/AES)
Will any one of the above options work with the passphrase or WEP password at the back? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm seriously out of my depth here.
