Hi all. Simple question.
If I wanted to get rid of my smart hub white ee router altogether and replace it with a third party router is this possible?
I have the small box on the wall with thr fibre coming in which then connects to the back of the smart hub via ethernet cable.

Hey @djmat56 that would not be a problem, EE even have a handy help page with all the info you need to do so. Just make sure you get the right type of router.

The white EE router is the Smart Router. You may replace it with practicably any router that has a WAN Ethernet port for its BB input..
