Setting up third TELUS Booster

I just bought my third booster, used.

Im going through the “add booster” instructions, setting up the booster hardwired, shows up perfectly, than the instruction say to un-plug, find location and then plugin power again. The new one ends up with permanent red indicators light, even when I move the new one side-by-side to the wired one … am I missing something?

 

thank you, stephan

So, just to complete this thread, my third unit is also working fine. I didn't need to do anything special, just followed the instructions from the app and that's it. I guess I made a mistake before or there was some other kind of issue. Regardless, it's all good now. Thanks!

Wow, this is happening to me as well! I thought I had bought a defective unit and just assumed the loss and forgot about it. Looking forward to hearing from the experts. . perhaps I can finally start using that third booster 🙂 

 

Thanks,

Esteban

Mine started to work all the sudden. I positioned it close to the "main" booster, with the solid red-light, gave up in frustration. The next morning the light changed to solid blue. I repositioned it and it is still blue. I did not have a chance yet to test for speed improvements, but at least it seems to be working. 🤔

Hey Jim, thank you for sharing that. I will give it a try as well. Thanks again.

Don’t forget you need to keep the original Boost unit connected to Ethernet while setting up additional ones.

Hi - I'm having lots of issues with my boosters as well and not understanding why they're not connected to internet.  My house is wired for ethernet in most rooms so 3 of my 4 boosters are hardwired. Are you suggesting that one of the boosters should be hardwired directly into the wifi-hub modem? (the large white cylindrical apparatus)

 

I had a power outage earlier today and now all of my boosters are flashing blue.  It was working fine prior to the outage, albeit slow speed --> definitely was not coming close to 1000 mbps download speeds
