Default NOW Broadband password and how to change it
nowtv (lowercase, fixed default in help docs). You will usually find it in the NOW help documentation. Change from the published nowtv default immediately
Under the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act, in force since 29 April 2024, universal default passwords are banned on new kit sold in the UK, so modern hubs ship with a unique password printed on a label. Always change any default to a strong password of your own.
NOW Broadband hub light meanings
A steady blue, green or white light almost always means your NOW Broadband hub is online and healthy. Flashing usually means it is starting up or updating, which can take up to about 15 minutes. Orange, red or purple generally means a broadband or connection fault, so check your cables at the master socket first, then reboot the hub before contacting your provider.
How to factory reset your NOW Broadband hub
- Find the recessed Reset pinhole on the back or base of the hub.
- With the hub powered on, press and hold it with a paperclip for about 10 seconds.
- Release when the lights blink, then wait for the hub to restart fully.
- The hub usually re-pulls its configuration, and the label credentials apply again.
A reset erases any custom Wi-Fi name, password or settings. The 30-30-30 reset is a myth on modern hubs, so a single 10 second hold is all you need.
