Telus Smart hub General Inquiry?!

[k2spirit839]

Would anyone happen to know what Smart hubs are compatible and work with Telus?? Also what external antennas are compatible with the Huewei b612s-51d Smart hub?

Sadly there’s no BYOD with the hubs. Maybe when they first came out but now they lock the hub’s IMEI to your residence. But you can buy a used Telus one from someone, I sold my ZTE before I got my Huawei.

I did try an ASUS 4G/router I imported and put a new SIM card in it at a store and it worked but not at my house since I failed to realize it had a different LTE modem in it (wrong bands). Tech support told me 50/50 if it would work.

Or would any LTE Broadband Modem/(Wireless)Router work with Telus LTE mobile network for Fixed Wireless Internet(Rural Internet)??
