If I switch from BT to EE do I get the new Wifi 7 router off EE

Currently out of contract with BT

It depends..if you order the 1.6 or 900mbps package yes .

Anything less then you can still get it but it's £10 a month. 

Alternatively buy one from Ebay.

Thanks, is it a smooth switchover? Just saw on the choose your package section the Router is listed as a £10 monthly extra. Is that to all new customers or just switchers from BT.

It should be straightforward but you can never tell.

Apparently the wifi 7 router is only now "free" with 1.6 mbps. Everyone else including new customers it's £10 monthly. 

If you're switching to EE you are entitled to the wifi 6 router which you will find is a vast important over your current BT router.

Thanks, is the wifi 6 router sent or is it one you have to beg for. Might be worth switching just for the better router and can get a 12 month contract cheaper for some reason, annoyingly the prices seem to change every time I log into either BT or EE to check options to switch 🙂

You have to ask otherwise they expect you to keep the BT router.

Thanks for all your help

If you google "EE WiFi7 router", you'll see several options to buy this item, which might work out cheaper in the long run than paying a monthly rental charge

Lots on ebay for around £60. Not bothered personally as it's white and too high for where my router lives and not completely convinced it's a vast improvement over 6.

Do you know if the EE router will work with BT broadband
