Hello, I’m curious about configuring two routers from your ISP in the UK to create separate networks using different SSIDs. You mentioned both devices are basic and you’re unsure if they can handle more complex tasks beyond sending and receiving signals. Let me know if you’d like advice on what’s possible and how to set them up.

These are dual SSIDs with separate subnets that won’t communicate through a single router. Which devices are these? Do you have any ISP contact information?

The ISP mentioned a single line about the 'EE Bright Box 2 wireless router'. It seems unclear whether the internal components are exposed or if a heat sink is attached.

Yes, the router supports creating multiple subnets. You can set up two subnets and assign a different SSID to each.

When you mention '2 routers', one might include your modem inside it, turning it into a gateway. You could link a standard router via a wired port on the gateway to its uplink port. The way you set up everything affects how smoothly devices across different network levels can communicate.

I checked the usual spots, but didn’t see any clues about modems or subnets. It’s possible they’re tucked away in less obvious areas.
