I’ve just joined BT again, and I am on the fibre 2 package 67-80mbps and was wondering if I will be sent the BT smart hub 2 or the new EE smart hub plus? As I have a family member who’s with BT and was given an ee router instead. My main reason for this is, is because when I had BT last time the range was dreadful with that router ( bt smart hub 2) and a different router would be appreciated.
has anyone else been given an EE router or is this just a mistake.
As a new BT customer I expect you to receive BT SH2 in addition to broadband are you also getting digital voice?

I too was inflicted with the ancient smart hub 2 which unbelievably is wifi 5 in 2025.
I simply went on a auction site and bought the EE wifi 6 hub..literally plug and play and vastly superior signal. The EE wifi 7 is now also available there as well
I was considering this but didn’t know if an EE router would work with my BT broadband (FTTC 70MBPS) so if I were to purchase an EE smart hub online it would work?
It will work perfectly ..I had the BT router on ADSL and when full fibre was available I wasn't offered a new router. With my prehistoric BT router on my 500mbps package I couldn't get above 150mbps over wifi. With the EE wifi 6 it constantly reaches the maximum 500mbps over wifi.
Like I mentioned BT EE and plusnet are identical with the broadband so it literally is plug and play.
