4K WiFi STB Won't Connect to Telus Boost
I have a Telus T3200M router/modem. I have an ethernet cable going to an Access Point (Netgear WNDR3700v3) in another room in the house and a further ethernet cable going to my 2nd Telus Boost at the...
Sorry I missed the bit about disabling the wireless on the T3200M. Have you tried using the WPS button on the booster to pair with the STB? There are self install guides here:

The boost model just says DWS as mentioned in the prior post. Also mentioned in the prior post I did exactly that, disables the wireless completely on the T3200M, wired the Boost to the T3200M and the Boost was running correctly and the Boost was only a couple of feet away from the STB, restarted the STB (went through STB restart multiples times actually) and the STB just would NOT connect via the Boost.
I am trying to get some tech support as well. I am sure it is probably some simple, but if you don't know what it is it can be really difficult to figure out.
Thanks again.

OMG thanks FuzzyLogic.
It was truly as simple pressing the WPS button on the back of the Boost once the pairing screen came up on the TV after the initialization of the Wireless STB. All is good, 4 bars on the wifi connection indicator on the Wireless STB and TV is playing channels with no freezing or skipping.
The Self-Install instruction actually don't say to do that. They ONLY reference pressing the WPS button on the T3200M Modem/Router.
Anyway again many thanks. The Wireless STB is now connected to the Boost that is wired to an Access Point (old router converted to an AP) which is then wired to the T3200m Modem/Router. All works as expected. Woo Hoo!!!!

Solutions are often simple. Finding them not necessarily so. Glad you got it working.
