I just had this router installed, replacing my BT business router, and let me tell you, this EE router is much better in terms of speed and reach.

Also be aware that this hub has 4 x 1GB outputs. If you go for a 1.6 Gb connection, you wont get the full bandwidth on a single cable output as the port will be a bottleneck (Due to being 1 Gbps port). Obviously it will be handy if you have multiple devices, but if your need a straight up 1.6Gb connection then you would have to buy a router with at least 2 x 2.5Gbps ports (One for the ONT and one for connecting to the device you are downloading with). Most wouldn't need to have a single cable download, but for my job as a software tester it would be a necessity as the apps would need to be downloaded quickly to be tested. EE should ship out a router with multiple 2.5 Gbps ports if they are selling the 1.6Gbps service, just in case someone needs to have the full 1.6Gbps for downloads.

This is an absolute joke of a hub it's literally been dumbed down with them removing the usb support and the router if it resets does not store the information in the event log it's always wiped as it's a confirmed memory leak and this router constantly restarts and I have had multiple replacements so I decided to buy 2 Asus tuf 3000 gaming router with 2.5gbs wan and 2 Lan agragation it's also WiFi 6 it cost me £93 each and it's been absolutely amazing and all WiFi speeds have tripled and no disconnects with very strong wifi

EE sent me that router I will not change my BT Router which is working fine

[@kevinlee9975]

ISP routers are never that good no matter what they say best way is to use your own

[@timdmx512]

not having 2.5gig lan ports is a deal breaker for me. i am paying for ee 1.3 gig down so the connection is faster than the router is the bottle neck

[@TheBadGuy1974]

Yes the red ended cables are cat 6. Nothing but complaints from the customers about the hub you are spot on.

[@wisteela]

I've had mine about a couple of months, and I've had no issues with it. I didn't know the WAN port is 2.5. That makes great sense given they offer 1.66.

[@StriaghtRight]

Plugged red wan into back of box and into open reach white box on the wall why is the light flashing orange still it’s been an hour ? The guy said you could plug it in and it’ll be up so why haven’t connected the red wan cable and openreach lan 1 red cable and still no internet? The smaller one, smart WiFi is blue and working so what’s stopping my router from working? Just cancelled community fibre for this shit and it don’t even work

[@samb999]

Thank you for head up. Don’t think my area ready for this hub cheers

[@mikecollins8640]

Had this router for one week since joining EE from Talktalk. Total pants. Your video was useful and reassuring as I thought it was just me going mad with the flakey behaviour. I'll check out your Asus setup video. Cheers!

[@ck_milly]

this helped me out alot the detail and explanation you gave was excellent and for a person who doesnt understand alot about internet i understood this 👍

[@googlefriend7685]

I'm using the ASUA zenwifi pro xt12 you reviewed great system my ISP router was absolutely rubbish

[@daisymay2303]

Very honest and detailed review clear voice and explanation 👍

[@farooqkhan7926]

Excellent review very detailed 👍👍

[@davefish8107]

Had BT but they wanted twice the price of this one so I swapped to EE, even though they are the same company?. Took me a couple of minutes to set it up and so far no issues.

[@davewardman1427]

Can you change the SSID & password on these routers, also can you control/block MAC address of devices logging on?

[@AliKhan-mc8ns]

Very technical review

[@PakFan786]

Does any one now how to set the Transmit Power down to 50% on Ee smart hub plus router.
