You can just apply for unlocking by using the Unlocking your device form and giving its IMEI no.

That doesn’t work. I did try

keep saying something went wrong and to try later. I tried many times and nothing.

Did you obtain the IMEI from the router's System Settings?

It’s on the router sticker and on the box

If I use some online IMEI check system it does recognise the imei and name of the router.

when I put on EE website is says there is a problem. So I’m confused

But is it the same in its actual settings? It would be a sanity check to be sure. IMEIs come in ranges for a particular device model & so would be recognised even if it were wrong.

I don’t know how to get to the settings.

could you advise please?

Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin" or with the admin password found under the battery cover. Then look for its System Settings.
