@TROOTERDIV There are no guarantees with anything, what you get today, may not work next week, at least having all EE there is somewhere you can go, after my last experience with EE that is fairly good advice! Price would work out about the same so just way the pro's and con's....

Think you're right, pal. If I were to purchase the ee Smart WiFi Plus, will this still work with my older devices without WiFi 6 compatibility?

@TROOTERDIV The general answer to that is yes, if working with the plus then should be fine with the smart plus mesh.

@TROOTERDIV With all the new FW patches that were going on with the Plus/BT/Pro range the only 3 things you need to watch with the smart wireless are 

1. The range may just not be as expected for the wireless wi-fi signal, do not care about "speed" mesh is to extend the network so somethings have to give/take for operation, stability is the must.....

2. The Guest network does not work passing to the smart wireless, no doubt that is on the todo EE fix list?

3. There is a compatible network feature that does as far as i am aware work through all the unit's but have never used any smart wireless extenders so cannot fully comment how good/bad, does not seem to get many issue thrown up on that feature so you have to say user's deploying said are not getting trouble with it, have advised a few to use and all have worked out ok .
