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,

Community Power User1. 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, Nighthawk
Here'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 900mbps
I 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' room
