Smart Hub is limited wifi.
The Smart Hubs are limited to wifi connections. I have a ZTE MF279T and am always struggling with having to shut off connected devices, cameras, kids devices etc. etc. Is there something I can do t...
"NOT all rural homes are limited to 10 wifi connections like TELUS thinks we should have"
The limit of 10 connections per frequency is determined by ZTE the device manufacture. Rogers and AT&T use the same device and have the same limitation.
Problem solved! Woohoo!!....the Telus ZTE MF279 gets tossed. No more freezing and limitations. NightHawk LTE Modem wiith Nighthawk Long rang Router...Clear sailing
Did you actually replace the ZTE MF279 with the Nighthawk? Or in addition to it? (I'm kind of new to this.) We have spent hours on the phone with Telus because our MF279T just stops - randomly. All of the devices are connected but it won't talk to the outside world.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well as i'm out of 2.4 G users as most of the cameras, security system and smart plugs only use 2.4 G. There's another post from CanadianKodiak about using a range extender over wifi from the smart hub and then plugging a router into the range extender using ethernet cable. Telus seems particularly vague about either solution working or coming up with a solution of their own that we can use?? And yes, my smart hub quits arbitrarily, usually when we're a 2 hr drive away. Seem to have partially solved this by pulling the battery on the smart hub, plugging the smart hub into a smart plug and having the smart plug turn the power off for a minute or two and back on again. The smart plug is connected to a UPS in case of power outage which takes the place of the battery. You have to use a smart plug that works when the internet is down obviously.
