Please note:

The instructions below work for Copper and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) customers, not those on Full Fibre.
The white Openreach box in the video was originally used by FTTC customers with the Home Hub 3 and 4. If you have the Home Hub 5 or later, you won't need the box, it's integrated into your hub.
