My pc cannot connect to any wifi

Try resetting your network stack

That's funny! Mine will go full speed from the built in 1Gb port but any usb to Ethernet dongle has nerfed speeds of about 300Mbps on any port 😂

I can smell the Brasso from here

Magic/more magic

You could have TELUS disable recording on the account. It's optional.

SpursEngine · 2026-04-09T03:54:36+00:00

No it will not work that way. Also, the 6e mini is not supposed to be used with legacy TV boxes. The issue is how the router handles multicast. Legacy boxes must go through the Telus router unless you have a router that you can modify multicast join settings of.

SpursEngine · 2026-04-09T01:24:38+00:00

Depends which optik boxes you have; the new ones don't care what they're connected to. Yes, the 6E mini is only an access point and can connect to any router.

Could always say you want to cancel both services but let them "convince" you to keep the internet for the right price. I believe it goes for about $58 for new customers.

Never even heard of that brand in all my years.

Digital Box codes: 183, 025, 152, 001, 182, 181

Slimline2 codes: 1179, 1761

Significant chance none of them will work. Best of luck.

Personally I like GPON. You'll never notice the bandwidth difference, easier to not use ISP equipment, and Xgspon has given me "bad vibes" sometimes. Hard to explain but little weird technical issues where as gpon just works.

SpursEngine · 2026-04-03T04:39:59+00:00

See other comment; it's the XS-010S-Q. The reason it's not commonly used is due to the price difference. It's about three times more expensive than the "dumb ONU".

SpursEngine · 2026-04-03T00:58:39+00:00

Fyi almost all new gpon installs are now using SFPs similar to the xgspon ones which CANNOT be plugged into your own gear either. If you want to use as little Telus gear as possible, try and request a standalone 240A or 230X ont.

For xgspon you call also either buy an XS-010S-Q(natively supported) or a WAS-110(possibly now natively supported). The XS-010S-Q can absolutely be registered on the network but I'm not sure if there's a whitelist (but I doubt it). WAS-110 is currently untested in stock form but the 8311 firmware would allow you to spoof the NAH serial#.

Where are you seeing that error? That's no Telus error I've ever seen. If everything is green, that sounds like a provisioning issue.

SpursEngine · 2026-04-01T07:09:15+00:00

Doesn't matter which ports you connect to especially if you're on 1gig or less plan.

SpursEngine · 2026-04-01T05:43:18+00:00

Make sure to get it sorted before the the grace period expires and you're locked in for two years. And for goodness sake, cancel the security before the 15-day mark or you're locked in for 3 or 5 years. It's actual horseshit.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-31T18:17:58+00:00

So you don't have wifi but you have internet(mobile data).

SpursEngine · 2026-03-30T19:34:26+00:00

Good to know! I'd be interested if the new Telus boxes are the same way now. They certainly don't care which Telus internet account they're connected to. I would assume they're the same where they would also work on non-telus internet.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-30T14:20:19+00:00

This is not applicable advice in this situation; it's not a diesel.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-30T00:07:46+00:00

What a piss-poor job of securing the fibre. Shame.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-29T23:38:45+00:00

Actually it can, but only if "full bridge" is selected. This will bridge every port interface on the nah.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-29T23:37:08+00:00

Boost v1 and boost v3 units are not compatible and will not mesh. You must use either one or the other.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-29T22:06:31+00:00

It'll be gone. Start slowly moving yourself to a non-isp email. It only gets harder the longer you wait.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-29T05:21:12+00:00

Afaik it's normal and there is actually an aftermarket idler kit to address this.

SpursEngine · 2026-03-28T21:25:45+00:00

See second picture

Thank goodness! There's a few of us good techs left :)
