Hello,
I recently upgraded my fibre broadband to the fibre broadband plus, and as part of the process I was asked if i wanted a new router. When I asked if I needed one I was told the old one was compatible.... but to me that sounded as though there was a newer model. Therefore, i requested a new one.
However, the new equipment / router that I have received is exactly the same as the current model that I have – do I need to change it, or do I simply send back the one you have just sent me?
Thanks

@ChrisD2 you could send it back, or simply keep it as a spare in case of a fault.

On the page Home BB Routers do they look like the EE Smart Hub or the EE BrightBox 1R (but is actually the BrightBox 2 {EE's lost its help page})? Either will work on both EE Fibre BBs with the EE Smart Hub having slightly better WiFi but drastically weaker functionality.
