I had a new Router from EE about 12 months ago, did not use it as I did not want to change all my devices logins I am thinking of going to FF so would have to use the new router
After a lot of research I decided to "bite the bullet"
Changed all the settings to compatible WiFi, Wap2/ 3 etc accepted insecure password and everything works except my cctv cameras, 3 in total
I have now spent 2 days and they will NOT connect to the system except the Guest WiFi
Is it OK to leave them on this and why
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@Mike11 Your choice, just keep the EE one then and do as you need to for connecting all your devices that do not work.

All solved, connected the old BT router as a slave, put it in the front loft, fitted a TP Link repeater in back loft and everything started working.
Seems the new EE router is not as powerful as the old BT one regardless of what the EE tech guys say
Thanks for all your help

@Mike11 As long as it's all working that is your main requirement and doing so you will have more wifi about with the additional hub piggy backed on the connection.
