EE smart router with discs and FTTP

frankthesurf — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 14:30:22 GMT

I'm considering upgrading to FTTP. I have been told that the new router for the FTTP is not compatible with the 'white discs' that I am currently using. I need these as we have an old cottage and getting the wifi in some places is impossible.

Can the EE router I already have ( oblong EE smart router with turquoise light in middle) be used as the router for the FTTP as opposed to the one that I will likely receive OR can someone comfirm my first statement?.

Thanks Frank

@frankthesurf Is it the white smart router you have?

Also what speed of FTTP are you thinking of getting?

If your current router has a WAN post, which I beleive it has you should be able to configure the WAN port, however it will be restricted if you plan to go for the top speeds, and of coulrse you will not get the features available on the later router.

The newer router does come with discs, but can add to your monthly costs.

@frankthesurf Also you need to mention if you currently use a landline phone, and if so do you still wish to do so? Edit: link to XRaySpeX chart below is also a guide for units.

The old white EE Smart WiFi discs that went with the white EE Smart Router are not compatible with the new black EE Smart Hub Plus.
