Smart Wi-Fi Plus and Wi-Fi Enhancer

Coz21 — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 22:10:03 GMT

I've just ordered full fibre with Smart Wi-Fi Plus and Wi-Fi Enhancer. Please reassure me that these two extras can be used in conjunction wuth each other and that it won't be a waste of time getting both extras?

Will they need to do any drilling upstairs if the Smart Wi-Fi Plus booster is going in the bedrrom? Does it just plug into the mains and work wirelessly with the router that will be downstairs?

Where will the WiFi enhancer go? Downstairs next to the main router?

Smart WiFi can be paired with the hub using either an ethernet cable or 'over the air' (assuming it's within decent Wi-Fi coverage of the main hub). It does require mains.

WiFi Enhancer is a software feature/service of the hub and there is no additional physical device associated with it.

Is it easy to set it all up? I had the option of paying £30 for someone to set it all up after installation, but I figured I'd be able to do it myself.

Hi, did you mean that wifi enhancer is a software of the main hub or of the extra Smart WiFi Plus?

WiFi Enhancer is a setting of the router performed thro' the EE app.

Ah right. So would everyone in the house need to set this feature on the app on the phones?

No, just the owner of the BB.
