Re: Delay Connecting To Internet - Wired Connection
I used their terminology. The gateway is what my fibre line is connected to from the wall. They also supplied a wireless router they refer to as a Booster and that's what my PC is plugged into. The supplied ethernet cables are a joke and are maybe 3 feet long. They don't reach my PC. I had an old cable lying around but it didn't reach either so that's why I'm plugged into the wireless router and not the gateway directly. It literally says in the title and in my question that it's hardwired.3.2KViews0likes1CommentDelay Connecting To Internet - Wired Connection
I recently had Fibre installed in my home and signed up for a plan with Telus. Everything is great except my PC connected to the router takes about 30 seconds to achieve a connection. I can only assume it's because the router has to communicate with the gateway to assign the PC an IP address. I tried setting a static IP in both the gateway and within Windows for my network adapter but neither fixed the issue. Is this just impossible and something I have to live with or am I missing something? Google doesn't seem to know and I couldn't find a topic on here of someone having a similar issue. I hope to hear from someone soon as this is driving me nuts! Haha! Thanks in advance!3.3KViews0likes7Comments
