Cr@ppy Smart Hub 2

Well, if I got one, it would be in a cupboard so I don't care about the "ugly".

Didn't realise it was bigger though.  @chrisjp  you got the approx. measurements on that?

Almost absolutely bonkers that one can buy a brand new EE Smarthub 7 plus for less than 30 quid delivered from the bay of E.

This page lists some of the dimensions.

The Smarthub 3 is 280mm wide by 180mm high by 5mm deep.

@gg30340 Thanks for that.

So not much bigger than the SH2 then.  Main difference is the depth.  5cm is about twice the depth.  Not a problem.

Sorry, my typo. The SH3 is 50mm deep!

No problem.  I'd rather assumed that was 50mm (5cm).

Obviously the night for it.  Just had an AI tell me the power consumption of another printer is 7W.  I happen to know that's supposed to be 70W.

Yup: the EE Smarthub 6 Plus is 286mm long by 182mm high,
while the BT Smarthub 2 is 250mm long by 160mm high

That's the only thing preventing me from buying a EE wifi 7 router. Way too tall and white 

My current EE wifi 6 fit's the tv cabinet perfectly and matches the tv and soundbar. 

The only alternative is to do what Kimbo does and place it behind the tv but I doubt it will be as effective there.

@Kodikid  I suspect you’d find that putting the router behind the TV would make a negligible difference.

The TV, unless you’re watching some ancient bit of kit from the 20th Century, will be shielded so unlikely to cause any interference.

As I say, my router works absolutely fine behind my TV and 5ghz WiFi reaches throughout my house just fine. That could well however be due to efficiency of the router with its 8 spider leg aerials. It’s a Tp-Link GX90. Look it up, you’ll see what I mean 😆
