Using a Boost W-Fi 6 as a wireless booster

Apologies, to answer your original question on this. You need to hardwire each Boost (6/7) to the network via ethernet. That's either via the NAH box or another boost box, or a switch. Anything connected on the same network should work. The purple port on the Boosts are the "network in" or for older tech the "WAN" port. Use that port when connecting them to your network. Cheers

Telus has so much mixed information on this. In another forum they say Boost Wifi 7 boxes cannot be used together. Here they say they can.

The reality from my own testing as a Telus customer with both Wifi 6 and Wifi 7 Boost devices is that they can both be used together. In my network I had 2 Wifi 6 Boosts for years working in mesh. I recently upgraded to Telus 3 Gig and was sent a Wifi 7 Boost. I added this to my existing switched network and after a learning process, the Wifi 7 Boost became the controller and the others agents in a perfectly working mesh network. 

The real struggles come when you try to add a second Wifi 7 Boost to your existing Wifi 7 network. 2 of those do NOT like working together, because they both only support being controllers. Thanks to another forum, I managed to implement the noted workaround by daisy chaining them together. I've been able to remove the Wifi 6 Boosts from the network now and have full mesh Wifi 7 in my network. 

Hope it helps. Good luck! 

Hey Pepperwood! Good question! The Boost 6 and Boost 7 aren't mesh compatible, so they won't work together as a single network. To get coverage in your basement, you'll need to use another Boost 7.
