Hello. I have a 4g mobile ee router that shows the supply as normal... ie the aqua light stays on ...but there is no connection to my laptop. It does this 'shutting down' at least every 24 hours. I have to restart it every time. I have complained about this so many times and got nowhere with 150 staff. Eventually I was told the quality of service 'is what it is' and I must live with it. Tell me ee.... how can you boast that you are the best broadband supplier??? I keep getting spam text messages to the router now and the thing flashes all night keeping me awake. There is no way to block the numbers it seems. Something else for ee to be proud of. Anyone here got a solution to these problems?

Hi @rosie2222
Welcome to the community.
Which 4G router do you have? Do you have a problem with the router connecting to any of your other devices?
Could you check your coverage on our coverage checker please? Also, please check to see if there are any known issues in your area on our network status checker.
With the text message issue, it may be worth speaking to our Customer Support team to see if there's a way to turn off text messages from our end, or get the number changed.

It is a standard issue smart 4g hub. Problem is with all connected devices. I have 4g and 5g coverage. Better outdoors; but then I can't work outdoors. There are never any known issues. I have spent HOURS on the phone to 150, your customer support team. There is no way to block the spam. I am left with your ee quote. 'It is what it is' ......and you claim you have awards for the best provider? The others must be pretty useless then. I cannot change provider because ee have locked me into this restrictive contract and anyway there is no other provider except starlink. Anyone out there actually got a solution for this??

Why change the number. It will just keep happening. That's no solution.
