It depends
If you order 500mbps and above then yes you receive a wifi 6 router with the option of wifi 7 (£10 monthly extra)
Anything less and you'll be expected to keep the SH2.
You can always request a new router as a new EE customer but it's not guaranteed.
So when I switched from BT to Plusnet using One Touch Switching, PN sent me a brand new version of the SH2…….
BT/EE router's don't work on Plusnet
Try it and see.
I get it that the EE router won’t work with PN, but the BT SH2 does. I didn’t change speeds either.
I’ve no intention of trying a EE router on Plusnet, why would I? let alone the fact that I don’t have an EE router to try anyway.
If you look on the EE forums there are lots of disappointed swappers who thought they would get a wifi 6 router.
The BT/EE rationale is you only need wifi 6 on its higher speed packages
If you currently have a SH2 on a less then a 500mbps package EE see no need to replace your current router.
