Hi All,
Just posting as I searched for this before trying but could't find an answer.
I am currently using an EE Smart Hub (I think) which I'm told is based on the BT smart hub (Home hub 6) successfully on my plusnet fibre connection.
All I did was put in my login details and save them, no fancy config/hacking.
Just putting this here in case anyone else is curious.

The speed steadily increased a few MB every two days over the initial 14 days which was nice and capped out after about 10 days.
Trying to make sense of the speeds though as the router states:
Downstream sync speed:
70.83Mbps
Upstream sync speed:
18.09Mbps
But speed tests never get above
65.5 down
17.1 up
which is 92.47% and 94.52% of the routers stated.
I read around and saw 88.2% and 96% but just wondering if there is something amiss?
The speed tests are done over wireless but using the same router for virgin got speeds of 108MBps so guessing it isn't the wireless but maybe the wireless to modem link limiting it?
Also in my account says:
our broadband service
- Product: Unlimited Fibre Extra
- Estimated Download Range: 52 - 72Mbps
- Estimated Upload Range: 15 - 18Mbps
- Minimum Guaranteed Speed: 46.3Mbps
- Current Line Speed (Download): 68.2Mbps
Which is different again

Hi @adam945

Many thanks

Thanks @metalligator
You'll find that a member of our products team - bobpullen frequently pushes updates through to users posting on that thread, hang fire for a couple of days and this should be picked up. I'm unable to manually push updates through from my end I'm afraid..

No other settings required. However, keep in mind that you might not be able to receive future firmware updates for the EE router. My last one was dated December 2020. In fairness to Plusnet, I have not tried their router, but I am familiar with the BT branded model of the router. The wifi coverage with that in my house was poor.

@Frankie72 EE routers are locked to EE usernames so cannot be used on a Plusnet connection. Get a BT Home hub 6 instead that will work on Plusnet and is miles better than the Plusnet hub1.

@RealAleMadrid Not quite true if you read the whole thread - but the older Brightbox routers do have limitations.
The newre Smart Router and Hub are based on the equivalent BT versions, and so can be used on PN.
