    Does anyone know if EE Smart Hub Plus Router WiFi6 802.11AX SH32B will
    work as a stand alone router with one's own personal choice of settings
    or is it locked to EE and can be used only on the BT/EE system?

    On older BT Hubs the wi-fi channels were limited to three groupings: is
    this unit the same or can any individual channel be used?

    Define 'personal choice of settings'?

    The WAN will only operate in PPPoE mode and you cannot reconfigure the
    PPP credentials therefore, it cannot look after connectivity for
    anything other than a BT/EE broadband circuit.

    The 2.4GHz channels are limited to the non-overlapping control channels
    1, 6 & 11.

    The 5GHz channels cannot be fixed by the user, although there are a lot
    more of them versus the older BT hubs. The newer EE hubs support UNII-2 channels and can operate at 160MHz bandwidth.
