Re: How to setup Telus modem in bridge mode to add another powerful router?
All Telus cares about getting your money. They dont care about you or your network. Its security risk (a hugh one) letting them know what is connected and how. Dont beleieve me? Ask to know what is connected and how its connected to their network.14KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ethernet into wifi booster?
or you can call Telus and ask why they don't Hardwire in all of the boost AP's to ensure that your wifi coverage and performance are optimal? and then ask them to come out fix it. as for loyalty and retention. they install things this way so that they can roll a truck and have a sales guy (aka "tech") come out and sell you more things. all the ISP is responsible for is giving you a connection to the internet. wifi is a feature of convenience. in other words, it's up to us the end-users to maintain our wifi. I had their wifi solution and I scrapped it all and installed my own.9.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to setup Telus modem in bridge mode to add another powerful router?
if you have Telus Pure Fibre and DO NOT HAVE Optik TV and have a Nokia G-240G-A white ONT, connect your router to the cat5 that was connected to the paperweight they call a gateway. I've heard of people even plugging the SFP ONT into 3rd party routers and it works just fine. no more messing around. why put that POINT OF FAILURE into the mix?17KViews1like2CommentsRe: Request Timeout Error (3rd hop) for every server routes.
I get that also. along with a Double NAT issue that Telus doesn't seem to care to fix. but that is the support that I come to expect from an ISP that wants to sell you more stuff than fix the stuff they have sold us!3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Review of Telus 1Gb/s after a couple of weeks….
if you have Telus Pure Fibre and DO NOT HAVE Optik TV and have a Nokia G-240G-A white ONT, connect your router to the cat5 that was connected to the paperweight they call a gateway. I was having to power cycle my Telus modem's (yes I went through 3 of them, 2 different models) to get both wifi and wired traffic to work. Telus and all of their resources blamed my switches (i went through 4 of them, no change each time) so I had enough. I bought a 3rd party mesh system and connected it to my ONT and haven't had a wifi issue since. the issue is their firmware in my experience38KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Review of Telus 1Gb/s after a couple of weeks….
Are the Boosters using a wired or wireless backhaul? that plays into it also. think about it. if you have your modem (paperweight), at the panel and then you have a booster with a wireless backhaul in a room that you had wifi issues in, you have 100% reception of crap.38KViews0likes0Comments
