The GT784WN is seriously inferior when compared to the Telus provided modem/gateway.
- The GT784WN is only an ADSL2+ modem (max speed 24mbps). Telus uses VDSL2+ now for copper based connections which is far, far faster. It's one reason why it won't work as a modem.
- The GT784WN only has 100mbit ethernet ports on it. That's a downgrade from the gigabit ethernet ports on Telus' T3200M.
- The GT784WN only has 802.11 b/g/n wireless support. That's a downgrade from the 802.11 b/g/n/ac on Telus' T3200M.
- The GT784WN does not have a LAN port so it can NOT be used as a router.
You're better off either using Telus T3200M instead. I use the T3200M when gaming online and I haven't noticed any issues.
Finding third party modems that will actually work with Telus' specific VDSL2+ implementation is extremely difficult. If you're on fibre optic, that will open up other options.
- Can I use my Netgear router as a VPN on the t3200m some how to mask my ip

There are several ways to mask an IP but none of them I've tried will result in better game performance.
- Ahh ok well out in the middle nowhere I feel like the connection slow I shoot people and the don’t died and I died two bullet but on the killcam it shows that the other player 3x faster then my connection the player Vs player battles are really unfair i like old actiontecs where simpler
- Do you currently have Telus services? Telus always supplies a modem/router with your service.
- Yes but I bought to see if would be better for gaming and I totally bought the wrong one I guess
