Thanks for the advice.

I have a very capable TP Link router that I use to use when my BB came over copper. When I switched to the EE 4G ISP I hard wired the router to the EE supplied unit and that worked up to a point. My security cameras and NAS however use DDNS so I can access them away from home. This failed as the cameras were reporting the WAN IP as the address of the TP Link router not the EE modem. In the end I dropped the TP Link unit and ran everything via the EE router.

As an experiment, could I fire up the TP link unit with the SSID of the EE unit and switch off the EE WiFi to see what connects? If everything connects to the TP Link router then job done?

Hiya

I'm not sure, to be honest. Until you get the kit from the new supplier and find out how open/limited it is to working with other kit, it's difficult to predict unless someone with the same service is on here (which if you're relying on 4G for access is unlikely!)

Whatever kit they supply, you should be able to link another router off that one but you need to be able to set the new one to bridge mode and faff about with settings I've never needed to use. Once that's working you can rely on the wifi you've already got.

How tied down is the router you're using now? Many I've played with recently that come from the ISP give you next to no control over anything beyond the most basic of settings.....
