Broadband 'Repeater' Discs

Redcap01

I recently changed my BT router for an EE router. With my BT router, I had a 'repeater' disc linked to the router in order to extend my WiFi home coverage. My current BT disc does not appear to link with my EE router, is there a solution to this?. My broadband coverage for home working is now suffering as a result.

The black BT Complete WiFi discs don't work with the current EE Smart Hub Plus/Pro routers. It's only the white BT "High St." Whole Home discs that do.

You may order Smart WiFi and Smart WiFi Plus for £7 pm & get up to 3 Smart WiFi Plus extenders to cover the house.

@Redcap01   a couple of things you could do.

1. Go back to using your BT Router and extender.

2. Take out a Smart Wifi  subscription - more info here https://ee.co.uk/broadband/wifi-products
