Hi. I swapped from BT to EE for braodband and landline last week, this was motivated entirely by the ability to turn my children's wifi on and off. I also have two ee mobile contracts for myself and one daughter.
The smart hub came, (New black hub with EE logo on the front) when I scanned the QR code for set up it took my straight to my ee utilities app, no broadband account registered. So I followed the paper set up instructions. I had been dreading the switch over as have had constant problems with BT wifi and my Sky mini Q box, but no, both my Sky boxes and 3 smart tv's did not need wifi re-installed, bizarre but fine. The wifi works brilliantly and everyone is happy. However, trawling through ee to find out how to access wifi controls I see the QR code should have taken me to the EE Home app.
After downloading the app it could not link to the hub, I followed all the help steps, no joy. After trawling this community I reinstalled the app. Still no joy and yes the hub has been re-started several times, wiped off devices, reinstalled. So I called EE. After several attempts my account was found, my iphone 14 is up to date, no vpn installed, the app does not work on any of our apple devices, so they concluded it must be because they are apple devices and not android. I pointed out this couldn't be possible or they would have had thousands of calls by now. I am now waiting for a call back but have 8 days left of my cooling off period before I am stuck with this for 24 months.
Any ideas gratefully received.

@Spirituk1 Router can only do its own upgrade, you can have absolutely NO influence on it, App was updated 7th June to version 5.39.0 for both android/ios as far as i can see. If you login to the router with web interface 192.168.1.254 and click on status, will show you the FW version. r 1 . 3 4 . 1 - R - 1 0 5 5 4 1 7 - PROD - 83002 is the current up to date version. And i assume you have the latest hub. And also there are 2 different EE apps, only one works with the latest hubs so hope you got the right one!

@Spirituk1 : You don't use the EE Home app for the EE SH+. You need to get the EE app.

Unfortunately when I use that. It displays a blank screen. Click on mobile and displays my phone number etc. but click manage> broadband. Shows a yellow wheel for a few seconds then a blank screen. Only thing I can do is click back

@Spirituk1 Please look on the back of your router and post the model number, or take a picture of the router and post it....

Yep it’s version1.43 etc. and neither app works. Ee home says I’m not connected, even though I am. And the other EE app just shows a blank screen after showing a wheel for a few seconds.
It’s annoying as I really do need to control the devices.
really appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi, I am having the same issues and I don't think it is anything to do with iPhone or android, I have tried everything and still nothing. I called up, spoke with some Indian guy and had no clue whatsoever and eventually he hang up the line. I will be calling them again in the morning. Any one else have act tips?

Has this issue been resolved yet? I have similar issue with my IPhone 15 pro max.
on the App I am unable to set up the WiFi controls as won’t connect to router even though broadband working perfectly on all connected devices wirelessly or via network cable. IPhone 15 has WiFi connection to router also.

@Johnpostill : Are you trying to use the EE Home app? That only works with the white EE Smart Router. Which router have you?
