Re: Telus Smart Home Security
Telus does stock a PowerG temperature sensor that can be paired into your security system, however this device is not offered at the moment. The best way to have this device added to your home is to purchase the PowerG wireless temperature detector and add it to your system yourself, or get into contact with one of your local technicians to provide you the sensor/help you set it up.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: New fiber install. Can't connect 2.4Ghz smart bulbs to network.
The large square device(Network Access Hub (NAH)) is the actual router/modem and the cylindrical device is your Boost WIFI access point. The boost does not have a static IP address for you to log into with, generally it defaults to either 192.168.1.41 or 192.168.1.42 . If either of those addresses brings you to a GUI page that is where you can log into the boost. If neither of those work then you will need to log into the NAH using 192.168.1.254 and look at what address is being assigned to the boost. Unfortunately the login credentials for the NAH are under neither that top cover plate and is held on by a screw at the bottom and some very difficult clips on either side so I don't recommend removing it. A simpler way to check if the 2.4GHz network is active would be to download a wifi analyzer app like WIFI man and seeing if your boosts 2.4 network displays in the network list.17KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Wiring multiple WIFI (B20A) Access Points
TalkDoc wrote: I have the new Telus Fibre modem and the white cylindrical WiFi access point that connects to the fibre modem via coaxial cable. Our home was wired for "cable" years ago so we have coax from the central data panel to all the rooms. I have been able to place the WiFi access point in any of the rooms. 1. I understand the B20A WIFI Access Point device can provide "smart" coverage with additional compatible (B20A) Access Points. Can anyone confirm this? 2. Would multiple B20A devices communicate through the same coax cable using a standard splitter? 3. What other B20A compatible devices are available for wider coverage? 4. We don't have cable vision service, so the cables don't carry any other signals and are physically disconnected from the home network. However, could the coax cable carry both signals (Cable TV & Telus wifi) concurrently (a bit like ethernet over power line)? Yes the new Telus Boost V2 does provide a "Smart mesh wifi" when there is more than 1 of them present in the network. Yes you can connect more than 1 of them over coax using a Holland IPTV Coaxial Splitter. Yes your could use the same coax line to hardwire a Telus Optic TV Set Top Box if you wanted cable TV, however I'm not sure how it would work with other providers. Keep in mind Telus estimates 1 of these boosts is able to cover 2500 square feet, sometimes less is more when it comes to WIFI access points.3.8KViews1like0CommentsRe: Portforwarding WIFI 6
The booster is just an access point, to edit any NAT settings you will need to log into the Network Access Hub (NAH) that white box mounted to your wall, to get into it there is a small screw at the bottom of the NAH, if that is removed then it is just 2 clips on either side under the cover, unfortunately the only way to remove the cover is a with a fair amount of force and wiggling. Under that cover is the address and password you will need to edit your NAT settings. The fiber optic line is underneath the NAH so do be careful when removing the cover not to damage the fiber.6.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Internet Configuration Help
You want to put in a new router but continue to use the boosts? If your Optic TV boxes are connected wirelessly then you will not be able to connect them to the TP-Link router. What I would recommend is hardwiring the optic TV boxes to the 3200 if possible and disabling the WIFI radio on the T3200 and then just using the boosts for your WIFI. if hardwiring the TV boxes is not possible then at least disable the 2.4GHz. If you are connecting wirelessly you wont see much better than 450mbps throughput, to see the full gigabit speed you will need to have your PC hardwired directly to the modem.3.4KViews1like0Comments
