I still don’t get how you are retrieving the username and password. Are you obtaining this from EE over the phone, or is it generated from within the router itself?

@Phoenix407 : Neither! It's published by EE in Using and configuring a third party router & boils down to:

BB Username = bthomehub@btbroadband.com

BB Pwd = BT (or leave blank)

This over year-old thread discusses an older & alternative method of deriving them.

Hmm…

Tried that and it doesn’t like it. I’ve been using a Draytek router on a sky broadband connection for around 8 years now. Tried to adjust its settings according to what EE have published but to no avail.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

@Phoenix407 : Show us its WAN Settings page.

Which EE BB product have you bought?
