Re: Another "Why am I not getting 1.5 Gig speed?" question
UPDATE: after another long day of trial & error, I've come to the conclusion that even though it's supposed to be possible, I'm not likely getting the AX6000 router connected to the new setup, anytime soon (or without a lot more hassle/configuring). I never could reach the AX6000's login page. So - after some factory resets & restarts, I've been able to get my setup working adequately: - Booster 2.5G port to PC - Booster Port1 to NAS - Booster Port2 no longer needed (my BluRay is now set as wireless, as is my TV. - the old media streamer is also gone, as the nVidia Shield has been reliable (*my TV uses Roku as its native system, and it would not recognize a lot of older media files, so I was using the 10+-year-old media streamer for them). But Plex installed on the NAS, runs all my media perfectly fine, as does Kodi if needed. I can use Port2 to connect any other devices I might need in future (if not wireless-capable), so having one spare port now, gives me some breathing room. So I was simply able to "cut the cords" as the Telus signal seems much more reliable/stronger than the old Shaw signal, and no longer need so many ports. Thanks, DrPacman - useful information helped cut down the trial & error... 🙂14KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Another "Why am I not getting 1.5 Gig speed?" question
I mean bridging the new modem (NH20A), so that the new booster (B20T) can connect to my old router (AX6000). At least, this is my understanding of what needs to be done. Because I can't seem to get my old router to connect to the new booster, I can't even get to the old router's login info. This morning I was able to find the Bridge mode option for the new modem; I enabled it; got a warning message that it would kill the Optik TV; I don't want the TV, so I tried it. Didn't seem to change anything. Tried any number of cable port changes/reboots. Since then, I haven't been able to login to the modem or booster IP addresses, and so cannot UNbridge the modem. Don't know what to do now. Have pretty much exhausted Google results, as most of them point to either the same few Telus or reddit threads. I guess something in the system is limited to 1Gb, as I cannot get more than 950 on Speedtest.net. They never mentioned that was a possibility. And they've screwed up almost everything on my account choices & pricing. I'm sure I've got a long call with them coming... but need to actually figure out if I can USE the new services before I argue the pricing of them... Don't know how to narrow down the bandwidth culprit, though, until I get my old router connected properly & can test it. I guess I can disconnect the new connections & use the old Shaw ones (my plan is good another couple of weeks) to test.14KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Another "Why am I not getting 1.5 Gig speed?" question
I hope it's not rude of me to hop on here, but it appears that the original question(s) have been answered, and my issue is similar... Feel free to move/delete this thread if it belongs elsewhere or in a new thread. I also just got the Fibre 1.5 package (upgrading from conventional Shaw internet) plus basic Optik TV; my modem is an NH20A, I believe. I'm in an apartment condo, so the ONT is (presumably) down in the phone room that I can't access myself. The booster/router is a B20T. Port 1 goes to the PC, port 2 goes to an AX6000 router, which splits to 1) a Synology NAS, 2) a BluRay player, 3) an older streaming box, that I'd like to keep active if possible). The modem/booster's admin page does SHOW ME it sees all the attached devices - it gives me their IP addresses, at least. But I can't seem to find any way to bridge the booster to the AX6000 router (I've read this in similar threads as needed, to 'use' the old router). At least, there's no 'bridge' setting that I can find. I only have need for one WiFi network, for my own use (no Guest network needed). I, too, am only seeing ~900 speeds so far (it's only been 24 hrs). Nobody told me it would be maxxed out PER THREAD at that speed. But even if the 900 is stable, I'm happy with the improvement over my old service. I'm not really wired (no pun intended) for configuring this sort of tech, or even understanding some of it. So my basic question is: How can I set this up so that the booster cable goes to to the PC and the old router, so that the old router can then cable to the NAS, BluRay and maybe 1-2 other devices in the future?14KViews0likes4Comments
