I have purchased the Orbi 973 system which is working well when hardwired to the EE Smarthub. However the wiring on the EE Smarthub restricts the wifi to 1gb (I have the 1.6gb EE ftp plan). Does anyone know how I can set up the Orbi system to replace the EE Smarthub so I can get 1.6gb around my house? I have googled this many times but cannot find a step by step guide to set the Orbi router up to replace the EE Smarthub.

I should have added that the Orbi's are currently connected via the 1gb Lan on the EE smarthub. I also do not have any phones connected so just need to know the settings to put into the Orbi for it to connect directly to the EE GPON

@Suffolkref1 You probably wont find a step by step guide, but here is the link you need for the EE settings that are required to be put on the Orbi system. And i will assume that you have NO landline, or EE TV also, as this will only work with the EE router in place...

@Suffolkref1 You just need to set your master Orbi with the following settings:
Connection type: | Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) |
---|---|
Broadband username or login name: | bthomehub@btbroadband.com |
Broadband password: | BT (or leave blank) |
Authentication: | CHAP |
DNS: |
Auto or Obtain from ISP (we'll automatically provide these when you connect)

@Suffolkref1 its hard to read on my screen, but I think it looks ok, connect it up to the ONT with a Cat5c or better cable and see if it works.
No harm in giving it a go.
