Telus Smart hub General Inquiry?!
Would anyone happen to know what Smart hubs are compatible and work with Telus?? Also what external antennas are compatible with the Huewei b612s-51d Smart hub?
- Sadly there’s no BYOD with the hubs. Maybe when they first came out but now they lock the hub’s IMEI to your residence. But you can buy a used Telus one from someone, I sold my ZTE before I got my Huawei.
I did try an ASUS 4G/router I imported and put a new SIM card in it at a store and it worked but not at my house since I failed to realize it had a different LTE modem in it (wrong bands). Tech support told me 50/50 if it would work.
Thanks for the interesting reply, Adam. Can you just clarify: are you suggesting changing the IMEI and MAC address of my new after-market router to match those of the old Telus-supplied router?

take the answer for you deem is necessary to get a satisfactory result.
With RoBelUs equipment like all other electronic equipment, ALL real techs the world over, say it is a must to at least upgrade firmware to prevent fails and hacks plus keeps equipment running smoothly.
RoBelUs does this maybe at the mid point but rare...very rare at the end point. From my experience with the equipment supplied it is junk before it is even put to the consumer
And equipment is upgraded only when customers complain. Profits are used mostly for sharebholders wallets ...not meager end user equipment
Search and research...and ask the equipment user you purchased from for a path to your quest.
