Hub swapping

Robel67 · ‎01-07-2026

I upgraded to fibre two years ago, I was with BT so I kept my BT hub which works fine despite receiving a smart hub 6 and the 4g plug in box, the reason being I didn’t want the hassle of swapping my hub and the re-adding my many peripherals / devices to the new hub name. I’ve now renewed and EE are sending me a smart hub 7, question, can I just rename the new hub to the existing hub name so I don’t have to to re-add all my devices to a new hub name
