EE Broadband APP WifI Controls not working

Mart30
Explorer

I have recently signed up to EE Broadband.   My broadband is working fine, however the APP WiFi controls feature and the Wifi enhancer are not available on the app or via the website.   An error message appears and states it is a problem with EE.  I  have spoken with the technical team at EE on two occasions and they have recommended i reinstall the APP and restart the router.  I have now done this many times and the APP features are still not working.   This is very very VERY frustrating!    I am going in circles with the EE technical team and it is not clear how or if this will be resolved.  EE is not living up to expectations.  If there is an issue, i would prefer EE acknowledge the fault and advise when it will be fixed rather than directing me to do the same thing over and over again (i.e reinstall the app).   Can anybody help?   Is this new feature just a myth?

Hi @Spitfire400 

Welcome to the Community.

I think the advice above from @JimM11 to delete the app and reinstall is a great starting point. Please let us know if this changes your experience at all.

What router are you using?
How long has this not worked as expected for you?

Have you logged this with our team over the phone, and if so, what was the advice?

Speak soon,
Linzi

Hi @Linzi_H 

The router being used as provided by EE is the Smart Hub Pro running app version 2.34.2 and firmware r2.64.7-R-1303938-PROD-1. This has not been working now for at least 6 months, since the app was last updated through the App Store on my iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS version 18.5.

I have logged it with said team over the phone multiple times, the same team who have not yet been able to remove an old number as previously I had other profiles setup when I tried to order the 1.6Gbps service at an address already serviced under a BT fibre connection, creating lots of user profiles. The profile I use for this broadband connection might have been one of them but I have successfully attached my account number to that profile, which took about 3 weeks to get setup also due to inconsistencies in the EE website. I can log in online via ee.co.uk and manage the usual stuff on the website but the app refuses to open it's goodies for me to use such as speed test, ping optimiser, safe search, work mode, geo filter etc. The main problem seems to be that I can't see the speed coming to my hub either on app or web portal Hub Manager.

I have signed out the app, deleted the app, rebooted my phone, left it a week then re-installed app, re-paired smart hub pro with app, copied settings over from the smart hub pro to the smart hub pro, setup the smart wifi plus device upstairs. None of this works when the problem is with the actual app and how it connects me to EE's own services.

Logging it with the team on the phone normally either ends with "we will pass it over to the team who can fix it, they will promise a callback that never happens" or "can you hold please while I chase this up for you", then they disconnect the call. Today they even called back after this and hung up as soon as I answered. It's not their fault they can't fix it. They should have an escalation path, but clearly don't or don't know what it is.

@Spitfire400 Try the www.fast.com speed test, it is a 2 hit test, so allow it to run for a few minutes, when you see the update appear click on it and it will throw out all the values....
