Re: Misleading Info From Telus Installer?
Actually when the Telus guy and I walked into my next door house and looked at the switch Telus installed with fibre a few years ago when they were first going door-to-door, he said said "boost wifi won't work with this switch", and said we must use the old round extenders (and, that "you can only have 2 extenders" which I know is not true). Also, he only had one new one, so supplied one he got from another customer. When he was done, he said the suspicious-sounding "if you have any problems, call me not Telus". I've contacted Telus support via Twitter (because getting through the AI chatbot is impossible. I'm hopeful they will respond so I can just get all new stuff. I spend between $3k and $4k a year and would like actual new stuff.1.7KViews0likes2CommentsMisleading Info From Telus Installer?
I have 2 internet installations. I have 2 houses beside each other - I live in one, and have tenants in the other. I wanted to install / provide internet for them. my install is 1.5GB fibre and I use Linksys wifi 6 mesh routers and it’s fast. the tenant network (a service guy was just here yesterday) is not fast. A while ago a service person said the old circular routers are no longer compatible, and to get rid of them. Yesterday’s guy said “they’re fine” and installed 2 for the tenants. they get about 30mb on their desktops. Question: are the tall boost wifi extenders better than the old round ones, and are those in fact obsolete?1.8KViews0likes5Comments
