Telus boost ethernet

Can I use the ethernet port on the back of either my 4K wireless set top box or my Telus wifi booster to essentially hardwire a device to it?

    You can with the Boost devices, but not the PVR.

      Hi, I have a similar issue. When I hardwire my laptop to one of Telus boosters, it works very nicely for a few minutes and after that, the booster LED turns red and my laptop switches to the modem wi-fi signal. Any idea?

      Is there more to it than just plugging an ethernet cord into the booster and then into my laptop? I tried this after I turned off the wifi on my laptop but I don't get an internet connection. My booster says that it has a good connection.

        When I tried it some years ago, that was al I did. Possibly newer updates have removed that ability, but I didn't think so.
