Hi @IainBissell,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Are you logging to your router using 'admin' as the username and password?

I am having the same problem with trying to link my 4Gee mobile wifi so I can check how much I have in my account.

You need to login to your router to read the SMS sent to it. Its admin pwd isn't your MyEE pwd but its own written on the label found on it.

Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin" or with the admin password found under the battery cover.

Welcome to the EE Community, @Baylen23

To view your text inbox, log in to your router at http://192.168.1.1/.

You can find the username and password on your 'keep me card'.

Hope this helps.

@Baylen23 : Most mobile routers can receive texts. Login to it & look for the SMS Section/Inbox.

I was able to log into the router but can't find any way of receiving/reading SMS texts on it - there doesn't seem to be any option available, and no alert appeared when sending the text. What do I do now? Is there a way of sending the text somewhere else? Or do I have to spend 30+ mins on the EE helpline :=(

@ADN-226 : Which model of mobile router have you?

Hi - I'm not sure what model of router it is, but anyway I sorted the problem by temporarily putting the SIM into an old phone just to receive the code by text. Not very elegant solution but it worked and I'm up and running. Thanks for getting back anyway
