HH3 just received is there a user manual available...

Question

Hi, I'm having Infinity 2 installed Thursday ( hopefully ) but I just wanted to know if there's a full configuration manual for the HH3 available anywhere. I've tried Googling to no avail.
Basically I hope to change the following, after install:
SSID
WPA code
INternal ip address ( from 192.168.1 254 to 192.168.0.254)
I want to set fixed IP addresses to some internal devices such as Printers for which I use IP printing. It'll be easier to be able to set them within their existing .0.254 ranges rather than visiting each PC and changing the printer ip addy.
Also I'd like to not use the Smart wireless thing and set the channel myself. We live in reasonably secluded area and channel 6 has served me well for the last 4 years.
If I can't do all fo this I'll just use my existing Billion 7800N but wanted to give the HH3 a try.
Thanks for any replies and sorry to have droaned on for so long.

Hi graystreet,
Couldn't find a manual on all the settings but here's the trouble shooting guide (this is the ADSL version, but most apply to you as well) BT Home Hub 3 - BT Total Broadband troubleshooting guide (self installed)
Also I have done some quick steps for you:
Key:
> is Go To
Letters in Bold are the menu titles to click on
1) Logging into your HomeHub 3 for the first time
To get to your HH's GUI you can either go to http://bthomehub.home or http://192.168.1.254 or http://api.home
Once you have opened up the GUI then it will ask you to re create a password to prevent your settings being changed without permission. Follow the onscreen instructions on how to find your default Admin password (found on the plastic pullout card on the back of the homehub) and create a new password.
If your HH gets reset the you will need to do this process again.
2) Changing SSID & Changing WPA2 Wireless Key aswell as Wifi Channels
SETTINGS > ADVANCED SETTINGS ( click continue to advanced settings) > Wireless
Here you can change the SSID and Wireless Key as well as the Wifi Channel
3) Changing DHCP IP Range
SETTINGS > ADVANCED SETTINGS ( click continue to advanced settings) >HOME NETWORK > IP ADDRESSES
You can select what range you want. I think there is already a predefined setting in that page to set the range to 
172.16.0.64 - 172.16.255.254
If your HomeHubs does get reset then all the settings will go back to defualt
Hope that helps,
Cheers
