Setup instructions
EE products are designed to work best when set up using the EE app.
Follow the step-by-step instructions on this Smart WiFi Plus set-up page.
About WiFi settings and Hub Manager admin password
If you would like to change any settings on your WiFi you will need to use the Hub Manager, find out more on this page Manage Your EE Hub
The WiFi Settings and Hub Manager Admin password are printed on the settings card that comes with your hub.
If the card is hard to read, you can still access the information using your smartphone:
If you used the EE App to set up your Hub:
- you were prompted to scan the settings card on the back of the hub
- you can now find your WiFi details in your phone’s WiFi settings
If you didn’t use the EE App or need the Admin password:
- remove the settings card from the back of the Hub
- open a QR code scanner app (not just your phone’s camera)
- scan the QR code on the inside of the card
Your scanner app will display something like:
WIFI:S:<WiFi Name>;T:WPA;P:<WiFi Password>;<Admin Password>
The admin password is only needed if you want to use the Hub Manager.
Light status and error states
Error states are displayed through the light on the front of the Hub - see this page What the lights on your Smart WiFi Plus mean. These can also be seen in the EE app, or in the Hub Manager:
- open a web browser on a device in your home that’s connected to the Hub (either WiFi or ethernet)
- go to http://192.168.1.254 to open Hub Manager
- Connection Status will detail the status of your Broadband connection
