1Gb service with T3200m and WEB6000q extenders?
I’m currently on a 2 year promo that is about to roll over to the “expensive” 2nd year and will be calling TELUS to negotiate a new deal. I have a 300Mb/s service on T3200m and 3 WEB6000q extenders an...

- We have fibre optic pulled into the house with the 300Mb plan so we are capable of 1 or 1.5gb. Is the switch to the 940mb (ie 1gb) service just a “flip of a switch” on the TELUS side or is replacement equipment necessary? Replacing my SSID with a different one, or rendering my extenders useless with a different router would create a massive make work project for me that I don’t want.
Even if you had to switch to a different router there's nothing stopping you from setting up the same SSID and password on the new router. It should be a seamless transition for any WiFi clent devices.
- Maybe. (Tried that when TELUS had to swap another T3200 and it was incredibly unstable when I renamed the router to the old one).
Really what I’m hoping to hear is “hey dude, I have the same he setup as you. Just call them when you want to upgrade that 300mb service to 1gb and you’ll be fine”....any takers? 🙂
