How do I turn my EE modem (Fibre) into a bridge

FrI
Explorer

I have a new router - TP Link - which supports WiFi6. How do I turn the EE modem into a bridge so that the new router becomes the 'leader'. 

Thanks!

Ah Ok, if your openreach box has lights on it, I presume you mean FTTP - Full Fibre.

In which case, if you can set up your new router with PPOE, then you can just connect that direct to the ONT - white Openreach box, and off you go.

You will just need your EE Broadband Username and Password -there is a help page showing how to use your own roter that explains it all.

Which router do you have? And which service?

You cant do that on the recent ones.

The router it's called EE Smart Router and it's plugged into the openreach box. The conection type is called "

External (FTTX).
