Tado Internet Bridge won't connect to EE Router

Hi All.

I've just changed my internet provider to EE. I was struggling to connect the Tado Internet Bridge to the EE Router i.e. No power, No LED's lite on the bridge.

I read other people's suggestions & ordered a TP-Link LS1005G 5 port switch from EE £11.

It took a couple of days to arrive. I quickly connected it to the router and power supply however, it didn't work....arrggghhh !

I then noticed a USB port on the rear of the EE Router...... would this provide enough power to complete the circuit ?

I disconnected the TP-Link LS1005G 5 port switch and connected the Tado Internet Bridge directly to the EE Router USB port and it worked straight away.

Blimey.... what a faff, heating back online YAY !

Hope this is of some use to you.

@Russ_EE_2025 : Well, it wasn't gonna power up by Ethernet or WiFi alone. So you had to find the only powered outlet of the router. Either that or plug it in the mains.

XraySpex - The Tado Internet Bridge was connected to the mains via the adapter..... it wasn't working..... Hence why I suggested using the USB on the router.
