Is T3200M compatible with Wifi Boost 7 (v3.0)?

I currently use the Actiontec T3200M connected directly to the fibre receptacle on the wall (I live in an apartment that is pre-wired for fibre). I recently upgraded to PureFibre Gigabit. The CSR stated that I did not need to upgrade the T3200M. The CSR also sent the new Wifi Boost 7. 

Following the instructions here: (https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/troubleshoot-your-telus-boost-wi-fi-7?INTCMP=Tcom-support_results-hub_wi-fi-boosters_troubleshoot-your-telus-boost-wi-fi-7), I have connected the boost 7 to one of the yellow network ports on the T3200M. The ethernet ports on both sides blink green. The boost 7's power LED first blinks white and after a few minutes turns green. The T3200M configuration page shows the Boost 7 as a connected device.

I can connect devices via wifi to the boost. However, I can't get internet access to work when connected. Instead, I get a "No Internet access" error. I have tried the following:

  • Power cycled both devices.
  • Factory reset both.
  • Disabled wifi on the T3200M.
  • Enabled port bridging on the T3200M.
  • Installed the Telus Connect App.

None of the above have worked.

So can someone authoritatively state whether or not the T3200M even works with the boost 7?

    Have you tried disabling the WiFi on the T3200? You might need to connect the Boost 7 to an NAH.

    I'm fairly certain that the Boost 7 should work. I have a similar setup as you but the Boost 6. In my case it's connected with MOCA. 

    Maybe try a different ethernet cable/port between the T3200M and Boost 7.

    You should also be able to login to the Boost 7 with a web browser to take a look at it's status.
