EE smarthub plus and TP deco Mesh

[Stamfordgarden]

Hi

I am new to EE broadband

I have a FTTP fibre 67 service with an EE smarthub plus and a landline service (home phone adapter) but my long thin house with thick interior walls suffers poor wifi coverage☹️  (and physically relocating the router is  a problem)

A friend has offered a TP deco X60 mesh router 3 pack (very good price 2nd hand) and wondered how I can use this to replace the smarthub3 but keep the digital landline whilst eliminating my coverage dead spots

Is this possible and has anyone else used a 3rd party mesh router and kept digital voice?

@Stamfordgarden  that does not sound unreasonable - you mention ATA, but not sure if you mean the Digital Phone socket or you are connecting your phone another way? 

But other than switching the WiFi off on the SH I would leave it as is.

For the Mesh, if you set it with another IP range you can use it in Router mode - otherwise AP mode will use the SH ip range and DHCP..

But give it a go and see how you get on.
