Controls are not done on the hub as far as I know. Almost certainly done at the network level in EE and probably turned off in the account area and settings.
Not a clue. I just used to buy the one which looks like the one in the video. Though these days I'd probably buy something different, while it's a good router there are much better ones out there now.
It would be helpful to know how well it worked. Was there a solid signal and good connection access to the Internet and how it worked with multiple devices connected, speed etc. That's the most important part but was really good until then, prob one of the best ive watched a few today. Was hoping for this information though. 🙏
EE is pretty good for most places. My preference for service providers for long term stable connectivity would be EE then Three. Then undesired but last resort would then be Vodafone and finally O2. I've got a house running off one of those EE routers with an EE SIM. Works well and gets tens to a hundred megabit per second with a directional aerial. Elsewhere the EE router (after being network unlocked) with a Three SIM seems to have a problem with timeouts loading pages but I've fixed that by tunneling everything through a VPN for that business.
@icannotgetafreename Ah amazing! Thank you so much!!! I just made the choice to go for it then read this so feel good about that. God bless you ❤️ subbed 😊
Take out the plastic plugs and then screw the connector on. It gets a bit difficult because the connector is recessed so make sure you get your fingers right in to tighten it up (or use needle nose pliers).
@freename I have been bamboozled by this router EE/BT sent me. There was a sim card separate that I tried to put in but won't go. A nano sim card it is. Network light keeps red. I've tried factory reset too.
No, this takes mobile data from an SIM and turns it into WiFi or through the network cable to a computer. No land line / fixed line broadband service required.

I currently pay Plusnet £6 per month for 4GB of data. They are based on EE and the SIM works in the EE router. Though if I wanted "unlimited" I'd likely go direct with EE on a 1 month / 30 day rolling plan.
yes it was very helpful indeed thank you so much.
Yay
Can I turn off parental control in ee 4G mini hub?

I want to buy a second hand model. Would you recommend the 4GEE home broadband model 1 or 2 or 3? I can’t find any comparisons.

Dud the device e come with a sim when you bought it?
I've only ever bought second hand ones so I don't know, sorry.
can you take this anywhere aslong as you have power ?
Yes, as long as you have power and EE reception (and an ee SIM with credit or a data plan).
Thanks, what size sim card does it take?
I don't remember. Sorry :(
Do you need to change any settings in order to use external antennas?
Definitely not
can this be for battery used only so if wanted be mobile u could use it mobile as well
It doesn't have a battery built in - you would need to power it somehow.
How do I attach antennas?
Take out the plastic plugs and then screw the connector on. It gets a bit difficult because the connector is recessed so make sure you get your fingers right in to tighten it up (or use needle nose pliers).
@@freename Thank you again!
Does a smarty sim work in this device or is it locked?
You can get free unlock codes from EE: myaccount.ee.co.uk/app/device-unlock
@@freename Thanks so much for that comment I didn't know it was that easy
What sort of speeds do you get on this device
Depends on the area. Most places 30mbps or so. One place I get a reliable 100mbps with a directional aerial in the loft.

Does this need landline to work
No, this takes mobile data from an SIM and turns it into WiFi or through the network cable to a computer. No land line / fixed line broadband service required.
also can u let me know 4g vs 5g networks on this one ?
as this box does not have 5G sim card 5g available as far as i know
The router doesn't have 5G capability. A 5G SIM will probably work in it but only at 4G.
