Hello, I'm having trouble connecting my Telus boosters onto my home network. My boosters are connected to the network by hardwire for the setup. On the mobile app, when I go to "Network", "Add" (booster), this message comes up, "You need to be on your home Wi-Fi and enter your admin password to proceed. Please ensure you're connected to your Wi-Fi and reopen the app to try again". My cell is connected to my home network. I can see all my home wireless devices on the app. I tried logging out of the app and signing back in. I also tried reinstalling the app. Nothing worked. Any suggestion? Can the boosters be configured through the router: 192.168.1.254 (without going through the mobile app)? Thanks in advance.

Hello. Have you tried 'forgetting' your home network, turning off cellular data, and then reconnecting everything to see if that works?

Hmm, your best bet may then be to reach out to our Tech Support team. Have you spoken with them?

“Can the boosters be configured through the router: 192.168.1.254 (without going through the mobile app)?”
I have configured the Boost units in the past by finding their IP address in my router’s web admin page, then accessing the Boost web admin page by use of those found IP addresses.

Hi, thank you for reaching out! Sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with connecting your Telus boosters. Here are a few steps to help resolve the issue:
Verify Network Connection:
Ensure your phone is connected to your home Wi-Fi network (not a guest network or mobile data). You might want to try reconnecting your phone to Wi-Fi to confirm.
Clear App Cache:
If you're using an Android device, you can try clearing the app cache in your device's settings. For iOS, reinstalling the app (which you've already done) typically achieves the same result.
Admin Password:
Ensure you're entering the correct admin password for your Telus network (this is different from your Wi-Fi password). You can find this password on the back of your router or in your Telus account under "Network Settings."
Try a Different Device:
If possible, try setting up the boosters using the Telus app on a different device, such as a tablet or another phone, to rule out device-specific issues.
Router Configuration:
Unfortunately, the boosters cannot be configured through the router interface directly at 192.168.1.254. The Telus Wi-Fi app is required for setup.
Reset the Boosters:
If none of the above works, reset your boosters to factory settings and try again. To reset, press and hold the reset button on the booster for about 10 seconds until the light flashes, then attempt the setup process again.
If the issue persists after these steps, please let us know by sending us a private message and we can get someone to assist further.

Can you try unplugging power to the units, wait 10 seconds, plug them back in and try again once they've booted up.

Unfortunately, I have tried doing that multiple times to no avail.
