Just received a smart hub but don't know the purpose of it.  Is it supposed to replace my router or work in conjunction with it?

The smart hub is a device that acts as a central control point for various smart devices in a connected home or office environment. It provides internet connectivity and Wi-Fi access and the ability to connect multiple devices online.

Still not quite sure what you mean. Is your existing router working?

Yes it is. Router works fine. We got new mobile phones and Telus sent me this smart hub.

Ahh, gotcha. We'd have to check your account to be certain, but do you know if you're currently on copper run ADSL or fibre?

All copper in the house, standard phone line as far as I know. Please be my guest and check my account but I would like that conversation to take place on my private email

For sure, we never discuss account info publicly here. I'll send you a private message.

Ok thanks, but I still don’t know if I am supposed to connect this smart hub to my router as a stand alone unit or if it replaces my router.
