EE Mobile Broadband Device - Comp

[Kezza_8212]

When trying to connect to my wi -fi a new setting has appeared with my wi-fi name followed by comp

I have not noticed this previously and do not know what it is. My internet also keeps losing connection and then showing as connected with no connection to the internet making me think that potentially I may have an unwanted visitor to my system. The device has been restarted numerous times along with a full factory reset but this is still happening. Any ideas? Also causing huge issues for me with the connectivity of the device overall as I work full time from home and so far today have lost over 2 hours trying to sort the issue with connectivity.

I think there might be a connection outage...I have the same issue. I don't have a comp name on my WiFi settings (I don't know what that is if I'm completely honest) however my Internet is acting in the same way "Connected without Internet". Restarted the router done all the roles lol but still no connection...I've noticed this has happened before so keep that in mind. We'll have to wait and see! Hopefully it'll be fixed sooner rather than later👍🏻

Becoming silly now the amount it seems to be happening. Pay £50 a month as can't get normal internet where I live. 

Where I say comp after the name I mean when you try to connect a device to wifi you get a list of available networks to join. I can see my network name with - comp after it as well as my normal network. Like it has been duplicated for some reason.

@Kezza_8212 : What EE router & WiFi extenders do you have (read label or post a pix)?

It sounds to as tho' you are on fixed Home BB, not mobile, & the router is showing its Compatibility network SSID as well as its main network.

Hi @XRaySpeX  its the EE Smart Hub 5G router HH20c

[XRaySpeX]

Ah, OK, that is a mobile router. Maybe they too have a Compatibility mode. Have a look among its Wireless Settings.

Thank you, so it doesnt look like its a hacker tagged onto my device. So much for plug in and go lol. Thank you again for your help re the comp profile. Just need to sort out why the connection keeps dropping.
