Quick one before engineer visit next week
Just got my new EE WiFi box and extender ahead of my installation date next week. Had a few questions as I’m curious, of course I’ll ask the engineer when he comes.
I take it I need to wait until installation date to plug everything in, as I think the ONT box will be replaced?
Based on my photographs the WiFi (old) router has been in this cupboard since day one, I do struggle to get range throughout the whole house, so I was thinking of drilling a hole in the wall here (red circle) to put the router out in the hallway, is that wise?
My cupboard links (Ethernet) to the main bedroom and behind the TV, two places I’d rather not have the router.
Cheers
