Just to be clear on this, it has paired quite happily with the SH+ but I am getting the red flashing bars of doom for the signal.</P> Wed, 13 Mar 2024 22:44:06 GMT Kyrrra 2024-03-13T22:44:06Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Broadband-Landline/Smart-Hybrid-Connect-with-a-non-SH-router/m-p/1367606#M90559 <P>Recently switched from BT to EE, got sent all the new router faff.<BR /><BR />However, I recently picked up an&nbsp; Asus AiMesh router and a plethora of mesh nodes to blanket the home in glorious high-speed radiation.<BR /><BR />We got the SH+, Smart Hybrid Connect and a mesh node in the post from EE.<BR />As the router only delivers WiFi 6, and has a fairly major lack of configuration options, I've simply left the SH+ in the box and set the Asus router up via PPPoE.<BR /><BR />Now, I'd like to use the Smart Hybrid Connect - always good to have redundancy for worst-case scenarios. We notice if the network is down in a matter of minutes, the whole house is 'smart'.<BR /><BR />My tests so far only seem to show the SHC connecting to the SH+ and refusing in any way, shape or form to connect to the Asus-provided network. It sits there blinking in fail-to-pair mode vs with the SH+ where it connects in a few minutes.<BR /><BR />What I'd like to understand is... is there a way to make use of the SHC without the SH+? And by extension, the mesh node from EE, or do I just have a bunch of&nbsp; new hardware to shove in a cupboard/return?<BR /><BR /><BR /></P> Wed, 13 Mar 2024 00:29:27 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Broadband-Landline/Smart-Hybrid-Connect-with-a-non-SH-router/m-p/1367606#M90559 Kyrrra 2024-03-13T00:29:27Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Broadband-Landline/Smart-Hybrid-Connect-with-a-non-SH-router/m-p/1367890#M90583 <P>As an update to any who are interested:<BR />- Asus router set as primary connected to web via PPPoE<BR />- SH+ connected LAN to Asus LAN<BR />- Asus router configured to dual-WAN setup: SH+ set as 'Ethernet LAN' and left as auto-ip WAN connection type.
