I have contacted EE to stop the EE wifi hot-spot that others use to piggy back on my router. But it's not been stopped 3x. I tried everything. Even logging on to the router 192.168.1.254 and disabling WIFI. But that's not stopping the EE WIFI hot-spot on my router. It's a very strong signal that anyone can use on my router. I work in the government and need not only security but all available network. I heard a firmware update is behind this. It wasn't on older BT routers. Can you help please?

@Parasurfer49 : In your online EE a/c under Manage > Plans & Subs > Manage broadband > EE WiFi (at bottom) > Learn more about EE WiFi > Opt Out . This will also stop your own access to EE WiFi.

Thanks. The EE WIFI link isn't coming up on my device now. Thats super. Is it just a normal WiFi signal. It seems very very strong. Previously nothing could stop it or is it the phone itself that shows its strong when it's blocked by foil ?

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.

It will be strong. It's coming from your router. I'll be as strong as your 2,4 GHz own signal.

I'm trying to go into a professional FINANCIAL  business and value my routers security integrity. Work in the government is not the main  point of focus here. I need the EE WIFI HOTPOT OFF STRAIGHT AWAY please. How?
