EE Knowledge Specialist

Taking control of the tech and connectivity in your home can help you get the very best from your WiFi. Our WiFi Controls makes it a doddle to get everything set up, just the way you want it.

You’ll find WiFi Controls in the EE app and it lets you take charge of every aspect of your digital life at home.

Switch off, and drift off

If online gaming or social media scrolling is getting in the way of homework or chores, you can pause the internet at any time, or schedule a WiFi freeze, for undisturbed family time. Stay in control of your home’s connected devices with device management. Here, you can create groups of devices and control their online status or even turn off all the grouped devices that are assigned to a specific room. It’s every teenager’s nightmare.

We’ll also help protect you from viruses, scams and phishing attacks with Web Protect, by warning you if you're about to visit a dodgy website.

Get visitors set up quickly

Give your family and friends speedy access to your WiFi by either sharing a QR code or by sending the password link from the WiFi Controls.

If you’ve got a Smart Hub Plus or Pro, boost your broadband with Work Mode and Game Mode

With WiFi Enhancer, you can activate Work Mode and Game Mode to boost your broadband and prioritise online traffic to those activities, getting the best from your connection.

Protect your family

The internet is awesome for kids, but there’s stuff out there you might not want them seeing. Advanced Web Protect keeps you safer than ever. It protects every connected device on your network—you can even check out any blocked threats in the EE app.

Device-level Parental Controls lets you easily control what they have access to online. And because every child is different, you can tailor access at device or profile level.

And to help keep an eye on screen time, Device Usage lets you view the time your devices have spent online in the last week and check your device time trends. It's perfect for checking family device usage, seeing which are online the most, and monitoring your kids' screen time.

Prefer to keep your main connection private? Use guest WiFi to give visitors their own connection, keeping yours secure.
