Adding a Wifi Extender to Garage
I have a Wifi 6 (Boost2) connected to my NAH. I also have two older Telus Wifi Boost devices (white squares on a stand). What I would like to do is use one of these Wifi Boosts as a wifi extender (wi...
I have confirmation from Telus tech support that the old Boost (white square on a stand) is incompatible with the Wifi 6 Booster (aka Boost2). Case closed.
I have connected the Booster with ethernet. But I want it to work without ethernet. I understand that the boosters work in pairs- one connected to ethernet and the other acting like a mesh. Conceptually I would like to consider the Boost2 (white cylindrical thing) to be the main booster, and the other as an extender. I believe you are referring to the Telus Connect app. Whenever I set up a booster using the wizard on the app it hangs on the screen saying connecting, even though a blue solid light appears on the booster.

Just to confirm, what I want to do is to connect the old boost to the Boost2 without an ethernet cable. Essentially I want the boost to be an extension of the Boost2, much like a mesh network. The boost would extend the wifi network either with the same SSID (ideally) or another SSID.
I would do that but I can't find the tool in the web admin on the Boost2. Does this have to do with Z-wave? Is this where I add a booster?
