What range extender?

StuV — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 18:54:58 GMT

I have the Smart hub, but need to boost range to the rear of my house, any recommendations for what extender to buy? Is there something specific for the smart hub?

@StuV Just try to get something wi-fi mode similar to your EE Router spec, not sure what that EE Smarthub is but more than likely wi-fi5! If speed is not that important you can also consider wireless wi-fi powerline devices! Linked the EE stuff below not sure if your router will be covered by them though!

There are many variants of the EE Smart Hub. Which 1 do you have (read label or post a pix)? What is the name of the EE BB plan are you on including its speed?
