Hi all, I’ve recently upgraded my broadband with EE which goes live tomorrow. The issue is that whiles upgrading my broadband they said they be sending me a new router which was due to be delivered on Saturday or Monday which has still not been delivered. Will I be able to run my upgrades internet on my old current router or will it only work on the new upgraded router ?

I’m unsure on what the upgrade is all I know is it’s unlimited. The router is a few years all it the WiFi intelligent one.

Can't help you unless you can be more specific. How can I tell if your current router is suitable w/out knowing what router it is & what BB you're on.

 

The router will have a label on it with its model name.

 

Look up your Plan in your MyEE for BB.

 

All Home BB is unlimited usage.
