Using a Vigor 166 G.fast modem with EE Fibre max 300

Hi,

 

I have just bought a Vigor 166 G.Fast Modem to use with my WiFi 6 router and EE Fibre max 300 connection.

 

My broadband username is readytoconnect@fs

 

The guide says for the broadband password "you'll need the login details or the password that came with your EE router" 

 

My question is does that mean the Wireless password/key or Admin password or something else? I do not have any other passwords other than my EE login to web account? 

 

Any help gratefully received.

As a matter of explanation :

 

The BB Username & pwd are for connecting to the EE network & being authenticated to be able to go on the Net. They are independent of the WiFi pwd/key & of the router's admin pwd which serve completely separate purposes.

 

Your BB Username is not "readytoconnect@fs". That's just the initial factory-set value until your EE router makes a full connection with BB & is authenticated thro' the EE network. After which it is fully populated with your true BB Username which you will now find  on the Advanced Settings/ Technical Log/ Information page, Your BB Username is of the form "PRODUCTIONHQNUN123456@fs".

Worked first time no issues, broadband speed is a tad faster than the EE smart hub and wifi is exceptional using an Asus rt-ax92u WiFi6 router recommend!
