I have EE Smart Hub Plus (SH32B)
Which is Dual Band Wifi 2.4GHz, 5GHz
I know EE have brought out a newer Smart Hub with WiFi 7
That adds 6GHz (I know it was also in 6E) , in practise I assume few devices are currently WiFi 7 .... so is there much benefit to having the WiFi 7 router ?

@Posiedon If you wish to future proof your network then wi-fi7, if not then the previous wi-fi 6 is fine. Devices that are wi-fi 6e/7 capable are few and expensive at present, but there would be a benefit if you were also using extenders in a wireless backhaul mode as it would be clear. Unless you are looking at the 1.6Gb/s package then go wi-fi Plus.

Sorry for this ... but what is WiFi Plus .... they mention Wifi 6 and WiFi 7 not wifi Plus
I have the Smart Hub Plus with Wifi 6, and a couple of the EE Extenders ... these are referred to as Smart WiFi Plus ... is what you mean ?

@Posiedon Below are the two help reference for the Router and the Smart wireless so you have them. With the SH32B that you have only can be used with a FF connection, you will also have the SW30A Smart Wireless Plus extenders. What is the package speed on the FF that you have from EE?
