Port Forwarding on Telus WiFi Hub
Howdy, I just got a response from Telus Tech support regarding Port Forwarding: From chats with network team and colleagues there is nothing from Telusâs end blocking the ports you are lookin...
If you are on Telus fibre and do not have Telus tv you don't need their modem. The hub has horrible firmware in it. And Telus knows about and appears to not care or want acknowledge that there is an issue. Like I was saying if you are on fibre run cat5 or 6 patch cord from the data1 port on the ONT to your router. That's what I did when they told me it was my switch causing a loss of data flow. Haven't had an issue since.
I switched from Shaw600 to Telus Fibre because of the 950mbps upstream đ (compared to Shaw's 20mbps up... if the nodes not clogged) ... I figured this was the best way to fix my video conferencing issues... and granted, this has indeed fixed my broadcast to everyone else đ
That said, unfortunately my inlaws (its always the inlaws rite) still watch TV đ (I gave up on regular TV ages ago) ... but that means Ive got 2 Optik TV stbs I need to hook up.
Apparently they just need 'a connection' ... the PVR Optik box needs a hardline... the regular Optik box can run off of Wifi. I dont know if these boxes need VLAN tags set or not... but it doesnt appear so. They just happen to be using MoCAs to pass the connection thru the house to the stbs' ethernet ports.
Seems like a waste of hardware if I just remove the WiFi Hub from my config... but it appears thats the only choice.
- If you have Telus tv then all of the tv boxes need to be connected to a Telus modem. You could put the hub into bridge mode and run 2 networks. One for tv using the Telus modem and then what ever you want to use for your regular internet as a router. Myself personally I stopped using a Telus modem as I found the firmware to have too many issues. So I run a Ubiquiti mesh system and I have not had issues since making that change. But I also don't have Telus tv.
