Using a VIP5602W wirelessly

Hey everyone,

I want to use my VIP5602W wirelessly (currently it's hardwired in) but I need to know what hardware I need to request.

I currently have a NH20A the runs my pvr and VIP hardwired, and then I have an aftermarket router handling all my internal Internet and Wi-Fi.

Sounds like I need Telus to send me a booster of some sort to plug into my NH20A to generate wifi for my VIP5602W.

Can anyone out there verify if that's correct?

 

Thanks in advance

Daniel

    I'm running the same box wirelessly and didn't need any additional hardware other than my existing Telus wi-fi router.

    It should be fairly easy to test it in the new location to see if it will work.

    It's been a while but I seem to recall if there is no wired connection the box will prompt for wi-fi configuration info. Once that was done it was good to go.
