Smart Hub Plus SH31B - does not support PSTN phone (BT Smart Hub 2 did)

I was persuaded to 'upgrade' from BT Smart Hub 2 (FTTP) to EE Smart Hub SH31B.  All good expect my PSTN wireless phones can no longer receive calls (can make call fine). They replugged directly in to the Phone socket on back on hub.

 

Seems like the EE Smart Hub SH31B is not an upgrade at all?

It's not down to the router but the whole infrastructure of EE's Digital Home Phone system. There are other EE users experiencing similar issues. When you were on the BT SH2 there were not such issues with BT DV.

I have exactly the same issue - a Beocomm 6000 phone that I want to keep and a new EE hub . The phone is plugged into the hub, will make outgoing calls, as you say , but incoming it just rings once then disconnects . Prev BT hub worked perfectly . Was persuaded by EE to change as they said BT was now only for business customers but wish U hadn’t now as can’t receive incoming calls ( which has recently been an issue)

Is there no work round at all?

I tried all suggestions I could find, including a spitter to include a normal fixed line handset, different adaptors 2 to 4 pin etc and even a wireless adapter to force a delay in ring reponse time.  noting worked so I have continued to use by BT Hub and left the EE hub in its box. B&O were no help.
