    You could build an enclosure to contain the telecommunication equipment, reducing its exposure to influences from the garage.

Thanks for the reply! This will work! At the same time, I wonder if it's possible to change either the Telus Wifi Hub or the ONT so everything can stay inside the NBN box and connect to the patch panel directly?

If by ‘change’ you mean ‘move’, the answer is yes.

    I mean by buying a new router to replace the telus wifi hub. For example the TP-Link ER7206

      Many routers other than those supplied by Telus do not work with Optik TV. There are a number of discussions here about attempts to find suitable routers. A search should find many of these threads.
