Boost wifi (white booster)
Is it fine if I put my white Telus booster beside a tv. I’m going to put it about a meter away from the tv
Hi JujhaarSekhon ,
I don't see there being a problem with putting the TELUS boost WiFi beside your TV...IF that booster has a solid blue light indicating it has a good Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
- If the color is amber/yellow then you may want to relocate the booster so its closer to your other booster wired to your modem.
- If you notice slower than usual internet speeds, try relocating the booster and see if speeds improve.

I put my second booster in a room and it has a signal strength of -60. Is that good?
- BrandonT
-60 dBM is good.
If you wanted to fiddle and see if you can get closer to -50 dBM you can try moving your booster to a different location where there booster is closer to the modem, and where there are less walls/obstacles.
Signal Strength Required for -30 dBm Max achievable signal strength. The client can only be a few feet from the AP to achieve this. Not typical or desirable in the real world. N/A -67 dBm Minimum signal strength for applications that require very reliable, timely packet delivery. VoIP/VoWiFi, streaming video -70 dBm Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery. Email, web -80 dBm Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery may be unreliable. N/A -90 dBm Approaching or drowning in the noise floor. Any functionality is highly unlikely.

- Is the second booster connected to the first booster?
- BrandonT
JujhaarSekhon Yes the 2nd booster is connected to the 1st booster using a Wi-Fi Mesh network. The 1st booster is connected to the modem/router via Ethernet cable.
