Replaced Smart Hub still drops connection, but TP link works with WIFI and cable

[Robin73]

6 months ago we got the New Smart Hub plus which was great until Wednesday when the signal dropped out all day.  During at least ten calls with EE and Guides I was told the "The router is working fine", despite no email or wifi anywhere.  Following an argument the EE value team agreed to send a replacement which arrived yesterday and was set up within ten minutes.  All worked fine until today - no Internet either Wifi or Ethernet.

But if I connect to my TP link range extender everything is fine.  What can be wrong?

I am quite savvy but this is a real puzzle.

@Robin73 It is hard to work out exactly what you are saying or trying to say with regards to your current problem.

Welcome to EE's Home Broadband Forum.

Post your full router stats:

• For a SmartHub: login and go to Advanced Settings > Technical Log > Information. Obscure your names & any numbers in the BB Username & also the SSIDs. Also post the Home > Status page.

Full router stats are key to any speed & connection issues.

That wasn't what I requested, That's the System Log that's adjacent to Information.
