USING TELUS BOOST 7 WITH TELUS 6E ROUTER
I recently moved into a new house where i have the telus boost 7 router connected to the NAH on the main floor. I have my older telus 6E wired via ethernet (also connected to NAH) down to my basement to help with poor network downstairs.
Am i able to operate both routers as a standalone router with separate SSID, without creating a mesh? I am looking to set them up with separate SSIDs so that my devices don't keep on switching between wifi7 & wifi 6E networks.
Appreciate any information on how to get this networked as i like. Thanks.

Thank you for the reply.
I hadn't tried Bridge mode as I assumed it wouldn't work as both the routers, Boost 2 & Boost 3 are from Telus and not a third-party router.
I will give that a try and update the forum.
Thank you so much.

The solution did not work. I changed the NAH to port 1 bridge then connected the wifi 6 AP to port 1 leaving the wifi 7 AP on any of the other remaining ports.
Both AP's still had the same SSID, plus it wouldn't allow me to log into the IP for the access point to change the SSID.
I guess i will just settle for a after market AP for my basement or just make peace with using the same SSID on both APs.
Thank you for the help though.

Hey Akhil271 - Have you tried configuring the basement unit in Bridge Mode (Access Point Mode) via the web interface to prevent dual-NAT, this might ensure they function as independent Wi-Fi sources connected to the same NAH.
