Telus Nokia ONT using a switch before the hub (NH20T)
Maybe this question was answered before. I am a new customer to Telus. My questions is 1. can I hook a switch after the ONT eg. ONT-----SWITCH----HUB(NH20T) (cuz it's connected to 3 Telus wifi6 WAP)...
Ok Update,
Again thank you so much for both NightHawk and Netstorm95 help.
After much research and invenstigation my speed is finally working excellent. Took two days to run new wires again but this time I ran new cat 6 cables to the NAH (4 of them). Might as well take advantage and utilize all 4 ports from the NAH. Had the technician in 3 times the first two times must have terminated my cable in correctly> Last time we spoke I ran a new cat 6 cable also. Had this tech guy from where I got my cables from . He was so sympathic to my issue , he offered to check my lines for me of course I paid him a bit for it. All is well and my kid thank you for it too.
Thanks again,

Update ONT to Switch and then to two different routers the telus one and my cisco one.
Had to make sure I tested it out before I ask from nighthawk
Results the telus router gives out 940mbps consistently (mind you it's connected via the coxial cable for the telus WAP (3 of them) throughout the house and hard wired from one of the WAP to two computers in my office.
My Cisco router however is only giving out 90-93 Mbps. It's hardwired to my kid computer. New computer gaming .
Not sure why this is happening . Tried to call telus support and explained but they don't recommend using a switch.
Does telus provide 2 public address on residential home purefibre internet service?
Any suggestions to the speed difference?

1: Vous pouvez obtenir jusqu'à 4 adresse IP publique soit en mode pont avec l'équipement fourni par telus soit un installant un commutateur (switch) sur le Nokia ONT.
2: le fait que vous obtenez 940 mégabit/s avec le modem telus démontre que votre commutateur (switch) dispose de port Gigabit ce qui est parfait maintenant les possibilité sont pas grande soit:
1/ Le router CISCO que vous utiliser ne dispose pas de PORT Gigabit(vérifier sur le site du fabriquant)
2/ le câble réseaux utiliser entre le router et L'ordinateur de jeu est endommager ou il ne s'agit pas de câble de catégorie 5E Minimum.
3/ la carte réseaux intégré a la carte mère de l'ordinateur de jeu de votre enfant n'est pas une carte réseaux Gigabit mais une carte réseaux 10/100 (vérifier les spécification sur le site du fabriquant de votre carte mère)
4/ l'utilisation de la fonction MOCA des modem telus n'est pas conseiller (perte de paquet,deconexion,planatage du DHCP) aux départ la fonction MOCA devait permettre aux technicien telus d'installer les service télé optique ou internet Lorsque l'occupant ou le propriétaire des lieu n'autorise pas telus a percer des trou dans les mur dans ce cas les technicien utilise le câblage coaxial déjà en place pour le fournir mais je vous assure que cette option est très très rarement envisager par les technicien.. penser a installer des câble réseaux aux minimum de catégorie 5E....

1. Telus seems to only permit 2 dynamic IP addresses currently for residential accounts. The last time I saw 4 was about 15 years ago on DSL.
2-1. While the router in question is quite old, it has 4 gigabit LAN ports and 1 gigabit WAN port. None of them are 100mbit only. The specs were very easy to find.
2-2. A bad/old ethernet cable is possible. I don't think they even sell anything older than a Cat5E cable in stores anymore.
2-3. A 100mbit network port on the computer is extremely unlikely unless they're using a very old computer.
2-4. MOCA won't have anything to do with this as the Cisco doesn't even support it and is connected by ethernet only.
- Sorry for the late reply, NighthawkHere's my findings after a few tests of my own. Definitely when I use my Moca connection plugged with the Telus WAP the speed is incredible. (plugged into the WAP port) Mind you took a few changes because I wanted to see if it's my equipment or something else. Rewired brand new cat 6 cables, running the tests with both my mac mini m4 computer, new 2.5 switch (borrowed from a friend) . When I'm plugged into port one of the NAH20T only outputting 100mbps and when I.m hardwire from the moca WAP it's giving me speed above 900mbpsI can see from the telus web login port 5 is my 10gb port and giving out 1000mbps from the ont and moca at 2500mbps . But for now, I'm at my Witts end and will use the WAP hardwired for now to the kids' room and use the switch to distribute the speed to my computers and the kids' roomDT 1968
