Telus Nokia ONT using a switch before the hub (NH20T)
Maybe this question was answered before. I am a new customer to Telus. My questions is 1. can I hook a switch after the ONT eg. ONT-----SWITCH----HUB(NH20T) (cuz it's connected to 3 Telus wifi6 WAP)...
Ok Update,
Again thank you so much for both NightHawk and Netstorm95 help.
After much research and invenstigation my speed is finally working excellent. Took two days to run new wires again but this time I ran new cat 6 cables to the NAH (4 of them). Might as well take advantage and utilize all 4 ports from the NAH. Had the technician in 3 times the first two times must have terminated my cable in correctly> Last time we spoke I ran a new cat 6 cable also. Had this tech guy from where I got my cables from . He was so sympathic to my issue , he offered to check my lines for me of course I paid him a bit for it. All is well and my kid thank you for it too.
Thanks again,

Community Power UserTech support has a limited scope for what that they cover. They only support Telus hardware so it's not unusual for the switch and Cisco to be unsupported by them. You're definitely not the first to use a switch or third party router.
Home accounts typically have been allowed 2 IP addresses.
The speed difference might come down to a configuration issue on the Cisco. It's hard to say. Some users have reported speed issues in the past when using third party routers. A few have found fixes for the speed but I don't know if it was a Cisco router they were using. Cisco is also pretty rare these days. Ubiquiti seems to be the more common one now. Which model of router is it? Is the Cisco capable of gigabit or is it an older one with 100mbit ports on it? Maybe check the settings to see if there is one that mentions the speed of the ethernet ports if it is gigabit.
Nighthawk I have the Cisco -
I even set the router to reset default settings with no success.
