Data Only SIM

I am in a rural area with 11 Mb/s broadband (FTTC).

I think I could do better with mobile broadband. Does EE allow the use of my own mobile broadband router (Archer MR2000 or something a bit better) with its data SIM or do they only allow use of their SIMs with one of their own services?

Can I buy a Monthly data SIM direct from EE or do I need to go to a retailer?

If EE sells them a link would be useful as I'm going round in circles at the moment 🙂
