Turn EE Smart Hub Router into DHCP Server

wottonearth — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:58:08 GMT

Hi

To extend my current Wifi signal to other parts of the house I have bought Wireless wall plate access points - Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAPs) .

To setup an EAP my EE Smart Hub router needs to be a DHCP server. Where do I enable DHCP within my broadband settings?

Under the advanced settings I can set the DNS type to maunal, but I dont know what the DNS should be for primary and secondary.

The EE SH is a DHCP server.

Are you confusing DHCP with DNS?

DHCP is for dishing out local IPs to your local LAN.
DNS is for looking up Net domains for their remote public IPs.

You'll find the DHCP settings on the same page as the DNS.

@wottonearth what devices have you actually got? It is far easier to advise when we know the device you have.

It sounds like WiFi extenders with a fancy name - maybe the marketing people looking for a new way to describe them, although I am aware they meet defined protocols/standards.
