3rd Party Router and Optik TV
Hi there, I am new to working with Telus and am looking for information about how the modem situation works. I am planning on installing Unifi network equipment for my client. My initial thought ...
With the former Telus Optik, you needed to keep the Telus router, as it broadcast the Multicast signal necessary for Optik TV. I understand the new TELUS TV+ service does not require a multicast-enabled router, so you should be able to use a router of your choosing. Else, you can do as you describe in option 2, which many folks have done, living TV on the T3200M, and everything else on their own router.

Hi,
Thanks for the info! If I place the T3200M into "Port 1 Passthrough" will it give my router a WAN IP on port 1 while still keeping up the core network and wifi needed for the wireless Optik Boxes?
