Upgraded Smart Hub Question
Hey All,
For anyone who has the new 5G Smart Hub, can anyone say whether the hardware supports a bridge mode? I currently have the old LTE hub and I'm considering upgrading to take advantage of the speeds and the unlimited data plan but I'd prefer to use my own router and setup an extra AP out in the garage however I can't find much info on the new hardware itself.
Thanks!

Do you have this existing unit:
I was told that the in-house WiFi unit shown here is an older Hub, but maybe it's not as old as the equipment you have.
Do you know the exact equipment that you will be getting?

For an AP, you don't need to setup bridge mode with a router. If the Telus router/Hub has a ethernet port you can connect another router/AP to it, or a wireless extender to said hub.

True but I also want to get a UniFi setup as well and use their hardware as the primary devices rather than the Telus all in one.

Which Unifi device? A switch, an AP? All of which I'm pretty sure doesn't require bridging. What is the exact signal/equipment path you want to use?
