Fibre broadband

Just switched from BT to EE and had the router position moved to the middle of the bungalow to ensure better coverage as BT was at the rear. The signal hasn’t improved - is the EE router 360 degree or 180 degree?

WiFi should be spherical, 360 deg in all planes.

@Portamaris What are you using to see the improvement or not?

Just going by WiFi symbol on mobile phone and doing a speed test in each room. It’s much lower in the rooms to the rear of the hub. It’s an EE hub

@Portamaris Before you get to involved with switching everything over, you can also compare by putting the BT Router back on, and testing also. Are you a android or ios user. If android app called Netspot is very good at showing how the wireless signal is. Also there are some settings that may improve you EE Router, you need to let us know, model and also if you have any wifi booster's/extenders/powerline with wi-fi. Reported that the BT Smarthub2 is better than the EE Smarthub+, they are not apples to apples, so some plus points and some negative, important also have you now changed/landline to DV or not using at all. You could easily position a router few feet left/right/up/down and have a better experience, do keep that in mind...
