Re: Disabling SmartSteering and Optik TV
Thank you for the reassurance. I just disabled it and set things up the same way. Everything seems to be fine, except the WiFi link speeds on my phones seem to be lower overall with the frequencies separated than I remember them being with SmartSteering enabled. I don't feel any usage difference in the speeds though, so I'm not sure what to think of it yet. Connectivity of Apple products to my wireless network with SmartSteering enabled was actually one of the issues I was dealing with, but now they have no problems connecting to the separate 2.4 GHz network. Hopefully this addresses my other issues as well.6.3KViews0likes2CommentsDisabling SmartSteering and Optik TV
I have Telus fibre Internet and Optik TV with 3 STBs -- 1 wired and 2 wireless. I am interested in disabling the SmartSteering feature on my supplied T3200M modem in order to hopefully address some issues I've been having with my wireless home network. However, I am worried that I will screw something up with the Optik TV installation, since I don't know much about it. I'm concerned that it requires SmartSteering to be enabled, or that it needs the 2.4 GHz and/or 5.0 GHz networks to be configured a certain way after SmartSteering is turned off. Is there anything I should be mindful of before doing this? My plan is to let the 5.0 GHz network keep the same SSID as it is now, so that devices that require 5.0 GHz can find their way there without needing to be reconfigured. The 2.4 GHz SSID would have "-2.4" appended to it. All other settings would remain as they are.6.3KViews0likes4Comments
