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)
and the other switch port to another router (Cisco Router)?
2. Will I be able to access the hub(NH20T) and the Telus WAP wifi6 if the ONT is Hooked up to a Switch?
3, Will I still be able to access the hub(NH20T) and Telus WAP wifi6 if I'm connected from the Cisco router?
If someone could kindly help me with these question would be greatly appreciated before I grandly get internet cables and the switch.
Kindly,
DT
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,

1. Yes. Just make sure you buy a fast enough switch to handle your connection. If you have over 1gbps, you'll either need a 2.5gbps or a 10gbps switch depending on what speed your connection is.
2. If you are on the NH20T network, you'll have no issue connecting out if there's a switch between it and the ONT. All a switch is is a splitter. The router connected won't even see it.
3. No. If there is a switch between the ONT and the NH20T and Cisco routers, then the NH20T and Cisco router will be two physically separate networks.
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....
- Thank you kindly for the response ,
Reason I needed some ideas was my hub (NH20T) , even when I bridge port 1 , the speed would throttle or stay at maximum 100mb . Tried rebooting the modem hub(NH20T) with no success.
Am going out to get a switch and cables and do these changes.
Will update when I find out my results.
