Setup BT/EE Smart wifi

JimmyJimmy — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:51:32 GMT

I have received the EE Smart wifi hub today. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Do I retain my existing BT router (blue circle)? Is it just a booster for my existing router? I've tried pairing the smart wifi to my router but that doesn't work (red light displays on EE smart wifi hub, using WPS and ethernet) Thanks, James.

I've sorted it. So, it is just a wifi booster, adding range to my BT router. Some diagrams or some explanation with the delivered package would have been helpful. I was unable to pair the EE Smart wifi using WTP or ethernet cable, had to go to 192.168.1.254 and configure through Hub Manager. All's well now, kitchen is no longer a wifi dead zone, great.

There is usually a (very) short setup guide included with the device. Set up should be a breeze!
