I have poor wifi through the house so decided to buy a Linksys EA6350 dual band router. I have connected it directly to my phone line via a splitter but the setup cannot detect broadband.
Can I replace my supplied Plusnet wireless hub in this way or not? I have jumped this stage & gone in directly with 192.168.1.1 but when in there I cannot see any option to enter my plusnet user name.
Just to note that my new Windows 10 laptop could not access the Linksys so had to use my old one.
Thanks
Fixed! Go to the fix.

What are you using for a modem? That is a cable router and does not come with an inbuilt modem.

Thanks gents, I disabled the wifi on my Plusnet hub & connected an ethernet cable from that into the Linksys, did a reset & went through the automated setup with no issues.
Now we have wifi in the garden, so much better - thank you
