Hi there, I have a Telus router and I'd like to block a IOT device to prevent it from accessing the Internet. I’ve tried several options on my computer, and the only one that blocks web browsing and console commands like “ping” is the “Access Scheduling” feature, but that requires leaving access open for at least 15 minutes. Is there a better way to block everything? What if i schedule Monday: 12:00 to 12:15 and another one Monday: 12:30 to 12:45 does each schedule prevent other to allow internet covering the 24h? And while testing I notice the time is not Local is it UTC? Model#: T3200M Firmware Version: 31.164L.22545Views0likes7CommentsRJ11 Internet Wire
I'm one of those few people that lives in a condo without fibre installed. Instead, I have RJ11 telephone wire running from a modified phone jack to my digital box/modem. The length is about 12 feet long but I need to find something longer. The problem is that this RJ11 cable is two wire into the connector whereas ones you buy are 4 wire connectors. I've tried linking these two and the internet crashes. Does anyone know where you can get 25 foot lengths of RJ11 cable with 2 wire connectors?Solved37Views0likes3CommentsTelus TV mini - such a downgrade
Had our 3 old Telus Optik boxes replaced with the minis. What a downgrade: The feed often freezes or just goes blank, particularly when pausing live TV Periodic notifications that the remote has "disconnected" and the whole system becomes non-responsive Severe lag when using the skip forward or backward feature - just feels unstable Cannot extend recordings beyond the pre-determined time (make recording sporting events almost useless) Any suggestions for work arounds - or can we just request that our old (but functional) boxes get returned?1.2KViews1like43CommentsA closed account causing a collection on my credit report
A collection agency is now coming after me for an account that I have closed and payed off. I closed my home internet service account back in Dec 2025, and have been using another provider since then. An email from Telus clearly shows that I have no remaining balance to pay as of Feb 2026. Another post I found on the forum seem to be a similar case: https://forum.telus.com/discussions/my_home_services_and_devices/collection-agencies-acrm--gcsi--gcs/178391 Currently, as I'm not in Canada, I cannot even contact customer service via the chat feature because I have no active account with Telus. If anyone have any clue of how to get in contact with Telus, please let me know. Or if someone from Telus support can help me with this case, it'd be even better.8Views0likes0CommentsUrgent Help Needed – Unable to Access TELUS SmartHome Security After Moving
I am currently completely locked out of my SmartHome Security service due to what appears to be a TELUS account linking and credential migration issue. I recently moved and brought my two existing TELUS security cameras with me. Before activating SmartHome Security service at my new address, I specifically contacted TELUS and confirmed with your staff that these two existing TELUS cameras could continue to be used after the move. However, I have now been unable to access the service or view either camera for over a week. When I try to access SmartHome Security, I am required to sign in through TELUS at telus.com/login. After signing in, TELUS tells me that I need to migrate my credentials before I can continue. When I attempt the credential migration, I am redirected to another TELUS page that says the website is experiencing technical difficulties. I have tried this repeatedly over the past week using different browsers and different computers, and the exact same error occurs every time. SmartHome Security login → TELUS login → required credential migration → TELUS technical error → unable to complete login → unable to access SmartHome Security. The SmartHome Security app also continuously displays: “Your SmartHome Security services have not yet been linked.” I have already tried setting up the cameras again and rescanning the QR codes on both of my existing TELUS cameras, but this does not resolve the issue. This is not an issue that can be resolved by reinstalling the app, rescanning the cameras, or repeating basic troubleshooting steps. Please escalate this case to someone who can investigate the account and backend configuration directly. Please do not send me back through the same standard login, credential migration, app reinstall, or QR-code setup process, as I have already attempted these steps multiple times.49Views0likes1CommentReceived a collections notice for an account closed 2 years ago with a $0 balance
I closed my TELUS account in May 2024 and received a final email confirming that my account balance was $0. Now, almost 2 years later, I received: an email from TELUS saying I have a bill credit due to an overpayment on my home services account, and an email from ACRM Collections claiming I owe money to TELUS. I’m confused about how I can both owe money and have a credit at the same time. What should I do in this situation? Would it make sense to email ARM a screenshot of the TELUS overpayment notice and my final $0 balance email to dispute the debt? Also, nothing related to collections is showing on my credit report yet. Has anyone dealt with something similar?Solved393Views0likes4CommentsCGNAT Removal and Public IP Address Assignment, Is This Still Possible?
Hello and Happy New Year. I recently moved and am now managing my own TELUS Fibre connection directly. I am trying to resume hosting small game servers and other self-hosted services that require inbound IPv4 access. I have the Technicolor NH20T Network Hub installed and have configured IPv4 port forwarding and firewall rules correctly. However my WAN IPv4 address is 100.84.x.x which appears to indicate CGNAT. As expected inbound IPv4 connections cannot reach my network. I have contacted TELUS multiple times. One representative confirmed this would require backend provisioning changes and issued a reference number. I later received automated issue resolved messages but no change was applied. A follow-up representative suggested upgrading to a business plan. I clarified that I do not need a static IP or special IPv6 features only a public non-CGNAT IPv4 address. That ticket has now been escalated again to backend provisioning. My questions are as follows. In 2026 can residential TELUS Fibre customers still be assigned a public IPv4 address to allow inbound IPv4 services and port forwarding, or is a business plan now required? If CGNAT removal is not available on residential accounts is there any supported residential option remaining? I understand that bridge mode or third-party routers do not bypass CGNAT as this is a WAN provisioning issue. Older threads exist on this topic but many are several months old so I am looking for updated information. Thank you in advance.Solved1.8KViews0likes29CommentsTELUS Internet Outage: No Service for Several Days
No home internet for the past few days. The service was already spotty before this, and now there is no connection at all. When I check the TELUS Service Status using my address, it shows no service disruption. However, when I call customer service, I’m told that my area is impacted. I’m not sure whether this issue is only affecting my home or is widespread around the 24 Ave NW and University Drive area. Can someone from TELUS please provide an update, at least on what is happening and when we can expect service to be restored? This is extremely frustrating, especially for those of us who are working from home. We'd appreciate an update and an estimated restoration time.155Views0likes2CommentsHome services and formal complaint email address
Hi. I want to file a formal complaint to Telus management on my home services but have just been redirected by the Bot and still can't find the form. Feels like this bot is designed to redirect people away from truly getting support. I disputed my bill and again the bot tells me to message their agents. My complaint are getting lost in the chatbot msgs. Can someone please give me an email address? I was promised by Telus' sales agent that my monthly bills would be a set amount when I signed a 2 year contract, its has been 8 months now, the bill keeps going up for different reasons. I've tried to resolve this issue many times, each time a new agent goes into my account, promises me it will be fixed, then nothing happens. It's wrong for sales agent to promise one thing and Telus to charge differently. I don't mind sending an email to the executive team if someone has the email address. Have anyone else been in the same situation? Sales agents promising one thing and bills charge different? What did you do to remedy it? Thanks in advance.100Views1like2Comments
