EE broadband routers - 2025
EE doesn’t just do mobiles. EE broadband has grown into one of the best networks in the country. So, what router do you get? And is it any good? Read on and we’ll reveal all.
What is the latest EE router?
EE's latest router is the Smart Hub Pro. It's equipped with Wi-Fi 7 technology, which supports speeds that are up to twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6.
The ac standard WiFi ensures a robust and stable connection, while the multiple ports allow for a variety of devices to be connected directly.
Smart channel selection is another feature that keeps your connection optimal by automatically switching between channels to avoid congestion.
How do I know which EE router I have?
You can check which router you have by going to the EE website.
Otherwise, you can check the sticker on the back of the router, which should tell you the model name. Or you can enter the IP address found on the bottom or back of the device into your web browser.
EE router specs and key features
The EE Smart Hub Pro is a seriously high-tech piece of kit, offering features such as:
Seven antennae: These play a crucial role in extending the reach of your WiFi, ensuring a better connection throughout your home, regardless of walls and other obstacles.
Smart channel selection: Allows the router to automatically switch between channels to maintain the best possible connection, which is especially useful in areas with a lot of WiFi traffic.
Four gigabit ethernet ports and WAN: The ethernet ports enable ultra-fast wired connections for devices that require stable, high-speed internet, while the WAN port allows you to set up a more complex home network.
AC standard Wi-Fi: Essential for households where multiple devices are being used at the same time, as it ensures all connections are strong and stable.
WDSL2+ modem: Compatible with full fibre FTTP connections, meaning you can take advantage of the fastest speeds available.
Setting up an EE Router
Visit EE's website for a guide on how to set up your router. Select the router you have, and EE will take you through which plugs and cables go where.
As EE's routers don't require any specialist installation, you should be able to get your new router up and running quickly.
Can I replace my EE router with a better one?
Yes, you can use the likes of Amazon’s Eero or Google Nest with EE broadband. Some routers from other providers may not work, however - always check if the third-party router is actually compatible with your EE broadband connection.
We strongly recommend sticking with EE's Smart Hub Router. Not only does it have excellent specs, it's configured to work well with EE broadband.
