Telus Boost Wifi 6 as Mesh

I have a Telus Boost Wifi 6 as part of our plan, the first booster is connected to the NAH in the living room, however my dad wants to use the 2nd booster as mesh to put it on the basement. Is it possible to use the Telus Boost Wifi 6 as Mesh or we have to buy the Telus Boost Wifi 6 Lite (B6L) as extender?

    Hi there! The TELUS Boost Wi-Fi 6 units are designed to work together as a mesh network, so you can absolutely use your second Boost Wi-Fi 6 device in the basement. No need to purchase the Boost Wi-Fi 6 Lite. Just make sure to:

    • Plug in the second booster where you want it (start closer to the main booster for setup).
    • Open the TELUS My Wi-Fi app and follow the prompts to add a new booster.
    • Once added, you can move it to the basement, it will stay connected through mesh as long as it’s within range.

      I have a boost 6 and two boost minis connected to my network. I was send a second Boost 6 and I want to use it similarly to the minis. Is it possible to add it to my network or does it need to be connected to the Ethernet port? As soon as I disconnect the Ethernet port form the second boost the light goes red. Please let me know.

        It is possible to use more than one Boost 6 at the same time, but each one would need to be hardwired to your Network Access Hub (NAH).
