EE Smart Disc Ethernet Connectivity

[Mikebellows]

Hi,

Is it possible to connect a device to a smart disc using an ethernet cable?

Or is the port only suitable for pairing the disc to the router?

Thanks

Mike.

Hi @Mikebellows.

Where did you get the Smart discs?

Do they have ethernet ports built in?

One of our broadband experts might be able to shed more light on this.

Hi,

I have been issued the Smart Discs from EE.

They have ethernet ports for pairing to the router.

I was wondering if the same ports can be used to connect a device to instead of using Wifi.

Thanks

Are you having trouble using your device over WiFi, @Mikebellows?

Yes. An external security camera.

The camera is on the external wall and is around 3 metres away from the Smart Disc.

The camera switches from 50% to 90% signal strength. generally it is good, but at times, the signal drops completely out and thus I cannot view through the camera.

The camera has an ethernet port, so I was wondering if I could connect the Smart Disc directly to the camera and resolve the connectivity problem.

If not I will use TP link plugs.

@Jon_K, I feel like you've answered @Mikebellows's question with another question - twice.

Mike asked a simple question and I'd also like to know the answer; Can you connect to the ethernet port on the back of the Smart Disc, for getting signal to the connected device rather than just using it to initially connect to the router?

As in, I've used the ethernet port to connect my Smart Disc to my router, now I've moved my Smart Disc to the office - can I now connect my PC's ethernet to the back of the Smart Disc's ethernet?

Please just answer with a "Yes" or a "No", or something there abouts, do not try to follow up with a question - I have been very specific and do not require additional support.

Hi @Dacks_18.

I'm not sure if this is possible.

The best places to look would be our Smart Disk Help Page, or speaking with our Broadband Care team.

Hi Mike

Thank you
