Using Work Mode
EE Work Mode optimises your broadband connection for work-related activities. It prioritises your connection for applications such as video conferencing (i.e. Microsoft teams or Zoom) and file transfers.
How Work Mode works
Prioritisation: When turned on, your hub prioritises network traffic for work applications.
Reduced latency: Work Mode aims to minimise delay in data transmission, which can impact real-time communications such as online meetings or video calls.
Stability: By prioritising your work broadband traffic, EE Work Mode helps to maintain a stable connection, reducing the risk of dropped calls, buffering or disconnections.

Using Game Mode, Work Mode and Stream Mode at the same time

You can use Game Mode, Work Mode and Stream Mode in WiFi Enhancer at the same time. If your normal connection is slow, using all Modes might impact each other.
Someone using one mode might not have the best experience compared to someone else using another mode at the same time. Other people on your home network won’t have an improved service during their internet use.
