How to have separate 2.4g and 5g bands on the Smart hub plus

Go into hub manager. Turn off the 2.4GHz band for Main WiFi and save. Then go into Compatible WiFi turn off 5ghz band then give a new network name for the 2.4GHz band and select security type WPA2- Personal and add a new password and save.

@JeffT50 The EE Smarthub+ does not get the compatible wi-fi settings until the latest version of FW is applied to the router, so not everyone will have that feature as yet.

@JeffT50 And as you have posted multiple threads again.

Hi yes my Smarthub plus was supplied this month and came with the latest firmware r2.68. Thank you for your clarification.

@Matty1box If one off the latest EE Hubs, then web manager is https://192.168.1.254 to get there.

@Matty1box : Login to your EE Smart Hub/Router at http://192.168.1.254 with the admin password on the bottom of the slider label on the back of the router.

@JeffT50 That’s not separating the bands that’s creating a compatible WiFi connection.

You can have both ie 2.5 and 5Ghz and a compatible bandwidth all at the same time.
