Is the Smart Hub Plus Router a mesh system?

I've tried looking for information but for some reason EE likes to hide information like it's an escape room.

I have a Smart Hub Plus Router right now. I'm wondering if I can contact EE to get a mesh system. Do I need to upgrade the router I all ready have to one that is capable of doing that like the Smart Hub Pro/ Smart WiFi Pro or the Smart WiFi Plus, or is the Smart Hub Plus Router capable of doing that and I just need to contact EE for a Mesh AP to connect to it.

The Smart Hub Plus is not in itself a mesh system but just a router. You can get for it up to 3 Smart WiFi Plus extenders. If they're not included in your package they will be £10 pm.

Hi @XRaySpeX,

Just to add on to your info.

Since the launch of WiFi 7 on Full Fibre plans at an additional £10pm, the cost of Smart WiFi Plus seems to have been reduced to £7 pm on all plans (inc FTTC where Wifi 7 is not available).
