Wifi 6E Confusion

I am keen to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6E.   I see that TELUS now includes Wi-Fi 6E in all PureFibre Internet Plans 1.5G or higher.

 

Every TELUS employee I have spoken to is not sure exactly what this means...  

 

I am being told I must subscribe to Wi-Fi Plus ($10 monthly) in order to receive Wi-Fi 6E equipment.  

 

Is a Wi-Fi Plus subscription necessary if I already have PureFibre Internet 1.5G?

 

Also..  I know there is a Boost 6E Mini (extender) but is there also a full-size Boost Wi-Fi 6E Wi-Fi access point with 3 Ethernet jacks?  

 

I see references to model B25T (full-size Boost 6E) on the TELUS forum on Reddit.    

 

Is this device available?

    Hi there - I've checked internally and we do require a subscription to W-Fi Plus in order to get the Wi-Fi 6E booster if you need a secondary router inside your home but the first one we include is part of the package

      I am trying to upgrade my existing Boost 6 wifi to the Boost 6E. I will return the original Boost 6. Why do I need Wifi Plus? Telus is advertising that wifi 6E is included in my 1.5G internet plan.

        Did you previously upgrade to 1.5G when you already had your Wi-Fi 6 equipment?
