    You will need to connect the TVs to the Telus device, either to LAN 2 to 4 or the Wi-Fi SSID.

It shouldn’t be an issue, but try setting a dedicated IP by MAC address in the Telus router, or see if there is the option to set a static address in the secondary router.

I believe both have static options. The modem was shut 9ff and when back on secondary router took on a new random IP all connected down now.

Would you need static on both probably as it seems the Telus assigns the 192.168.1.64 to port 1 and can be made static. Would this be the secondary router static IP as it would be to nice as was pre shutdown to stay or be 192.168.1.1. Sub 255.255.0.0

Thanks,
