Turning off T3200M Wifi and using instead a Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System
Hello, I was looking to do the above and noticed another user posting difficulty with their LAN and WLAN speeds after putting in place a similar setup (see user's posting at bottom) Can you advi...
Nvrm.....solved my own question by trying it out and it was quite easy with this new Linksys unit.
Key things:
1. Disable Actiontec wifi by logging into the Telus admin page at 192.168.1.254 using a computer connected with an ethernet cable to the modem
2. connect the ethernet cable to the Internet port on the Linksys unit and not one of the LAN ethernet ports
3. download the Linksys mobile config app (for iOS or Android) & use that to do the Linksys setup but follow the directions carefully on the app & DONE
I have 2 Optik TV units and the above process did not affect them and no bridging or any other fancy network setup or configuration changes needed
So in the final end, the Linksys Velop AX4200 WiFi 6 Mesh System process was a breeze and all the WiFi 6 devices can connect at optimum speeds and at much better distances without any performance hits on the connection speeds.

Are your Optik boxes connected by Ethernet to the T3200? This is the preferred setup as many 3rd party routers have problems with multicasting. This is how my network is set up. The added benefit is that TV traffic is not mixed in with any of your local LAN traffic on the Linksys.
- Yes, that’s pretty well how it looks to be.
Anyways, it all seems to be working now and the only other thing aside from the things I listed before , was to put the Linksys Velop AX4200 into Bridge mode so all the devices on the network could be seen together
