Show Broadband password on EE router

I accept no responsibility

You're probably an adult, and probably chose to follow this with your own free will.

I accept no responsibility if this breaks things.

Why

If you want to use a different router with your EE connection, you need to know the PPPoE username and password.

On the EE form, there is a user who claims that the password is made up of the username, but EE have since changed this

How to get the password

Login to your router

Browse to the Ip address (Probably 192.168.1.254)

Click on Advanced Setings
