I can confirm that I bought an EE Smart Hub Pro recently from eBay. What a fantastic piece of kit this is.
Turned it into a wireless access point. Basically, turned off the DHCP server in advanced settings -> IPv4 Configuration, and then connected a LAN cable to LAN Port 1 and then connected it to my fibre router (from another provider). Configured the wireless with a different name and off I went.
Getting between 700 - 900 Mbps on 5GHz on download speeds on a 910 Mbps service, haven't got anything bad to say about the router save for the following: The router has the option to switch off the status light, but this doesn't work when its setup like this. The status light on the front (the key hole on the front), continues to blink orange forever. Basically had to apply an adhesive label over the front to hide this.
But £45 for a WiFi 7 router that I can turn in to an Access Point? What a fantastic piece of kit EE produced. Shame the UI is locked down as much as it is, because this is a seriously good piece of kit.
Can however confirm this config works for anyone who is interested.
