Boosters Compatible with Wifi 6
I recently had the new Boost Wifi 6 installed, and when I signed up online I selected the wifi booster add-on. When the technician came to install it they didn’t give me the booster pack, and after speaking with Telus they informed me that the boosters aren’t compatible with the Wifi 6 system. Are there any boosters that DO work with this new wifi system? Where can they be found/what needs to work for them to be compatible? Seeing conflicting information as there is another post saying the old boosters work with the new wifi 6.

- I'm using both the new WiFi 6 booster, with PureFibre X and the older telus boosters that were used with the Telus DSL connection.
There are set-up procedures built into the Telus Connection app.
I was also told by the Telus installer that they were not compatible. I'm assuming that this is good company policy to ensure stable installations.
I haven't had any issues using the old boosters.Hey Darren_P, I tried to set up the old boosters after upgrading to the wifi 6 plan, but was unable to get it to work
In the step where I need to connect to the boosters independent wifi connection, I was unable to find it in the available wifi networks to connect to.
Am I missing something or is there alternate way to do this?
Thanks!
