EE Hub firmware versions

James_B — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 09:25:12 GMT

We regularly update your Smart Hub to keep your broadband secure, stable, and performing at its best, often adding new features and behind-the-scenes fixes.

Hub name	Model	Current firmware version	Notes
Smart Hub 6 Plus	SH30A	r4.26.3
Smart Hub 6 Plus	SH31B/SH32B	r4.26.3
Smart Hub 7 Plus	SH35A	r4.27.1
Smart Hub Pro	SH40J	r4.29.1

⚠️ It can take a number of weeks for everybody's hub to be upgraded to a new firmware when it becomes available. The table above reflects the most recent software version that has been rolled out to everybody. This means that your hub may be running a more recent version (higher number) but should never be running an older version (lower number).

If you’ve just set up a new hub, leave it switched on and connected to the internet for 24 hours. This gives it time to download and install the latest update.

How can I check my hub’s firmware version?

Web browser

Open the Hub Manager in a web browser by going to the address http://192.168.1.254
When you visit 192.168.1.254 to access your EE Hub Manager, your web browser might display a message saying your connection isn’t private or secure. This can seem worrying—but it’s completely normal and safe in this case. Security warning when accessing the Hub Manager
Go to 'Status' and enter Hub admin password when prompted
Firmware version is listed there. Note it will be in a longer format e.g. r5.3.0-R-1805084-PROD-1 = r5.3.0

EE App

Open EE App
Navigate to Manage > Broadband
Pair your hub to the App if you haven't already
Tap Settings icon under the image of your hub
