[Megathread]: TELUS Connect
I have had issues with this app since I started using it ages ago. It's glitchy and almost completely useless.
It boasts such amazing features - schedules, device-blocking, content-blocking and...
Hi Everyone.
I merged all of these posts regarding the Connect App so I don't have to go to each one and make the same announcement over and over again.
We heard you about your issues with the Connect App. I spoke with the team and they confirmed that they pushed an update yesterday to our hardware that will fix the issue where you don't see your network, or your devices.
The issue is that the NAH or the Boosters did not activate a specific setting when your device was installed. That firmware update should fix this issue but there are ways to manually enable the setting.
Here's what you need to do if you have issues still:
- Factory reset the NAH. Keep in mind that any changes that you made to the NAH you will need to do again. Most people don't make changes so factory resetting will just knock off your internet for a few minutes.
- Once the NAH is factory reset, check the Connect app. If everything works, stop here.
- If you can see your NAH but not your boosters, perform a factory reset on the boosters. Keep in mind that if you have more than one you will need to do each one individually. Please start with the main one first so any others will mesh with the Wi-Fi network that the primary boost has.
- Delete your Connect App and re-download it. If you had the app open when the update went through it will not update and you'll see the same issues. You have to close it and re-open it.

OMG, it was a problem in 2022.
But it was working for me last year when I setup the guest password.
You know, what is happening has happened before that I am aware. Remember default guide to your favorites. Fixed and worked for 3 months until another update eliminated it. I thought then and now feel strong that the techs fix a bug but keep working on the original software, so when another problem is solved and the update flashed it does not include the previous fix.
The solution for now is use 192.168.1.61 which is the boost 6 IP to get a login page, then use admin and the password for admin on the boost label.
