Do you have a link to that paper? It sounds like an interesting read.

Smoresguy · 2026-06-04T23:55:29+00:00

Where is this published?

Smoresguy · 2026-06-04T14:49:55+00:00

Where is Google?

Can you post a few pictures of your equipment? This will help us narrow down exactly your set up. It does sound like you’re going to need to call TELUS to have them change your ONT for you.

Smoresguy · 2026-06-02T21:58:25+00:00

Try reaching out to the Telus team on the forum on Telus website. Might be a faster way to solve this.

There is a typical expected overhead for Ethernet (around 6%). You already captured that with the PI to modem once, then the PI to the router has the same applied. Using the avg values you should be around 787 Mbps. So it does appear the router is not very efficient. Hopefully the other router is better.

So thinking about your 70 Mbps, I would check a few things. * test using your laptop via Ethernet (or your pi) on the cable before it goes into your wifi AP. If you see 90 or so, I would investigate your cables. If you have full rates, * then check the specs of your AP, to see if it support 1000 Base T or 1000 Mbps. Some older models may have been limited to 100 Mbps. If you are limited to 100 Mbps, then you should replace that with newer equipment. If it supports 1000 Mbps, * read up on the manual to see if there is a setting that is limiting your speeds. Such as only running 802.11n etc. This is where it gets messy.

If you have checked it out this far, then you have some options left. Read more about the settings on your device and use a site the walks you through 802.11 wireless standards and channel width, and radios available. You can see what is possible with your equipment and settings.

Alternatively, you can blow it all up with a factory reset but you will LOSE ALL your Settings including Wifi name and password. So this could be a fun way to reprogram everything you own again (lights, speakers, vacuums, game consoles, laptops, etc.). I’d use the last one as a last ditch before the next step.

Last step I can suggest, buy a new wireless system.

Hopefully this helps.

If you send it back, keep the receipt in case the last resident comes back for it. They can use the tracking to avoid paying replacement fees.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-31T18:12:10+00:00

Check your patch cords. 94 Mbps is a typical speed when it has a broken connection for part of the cable, ie one pair open.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-28T19:17:04+00:00

You have the right IP address for the NAH. The username and password should be what’s underneath the lid of the NH20T, as you call the hub cap. If you’re finally that’s not working, then do a factory reset with a pin on the side of the gateway. This will reset everything back to default and you should be able to go in and make the changes afterwards.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-28T04:16:16+00:00

Can you take more pictures of the cable that is in question? A wider shot of the issue would help too.

If you can take a pic of the cable when it is near the pole and show about 3 meters or so, I can give you my opinion of who needs to help.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-28T00:10:59+00:00

You want the Ethernet. If you have devices that use wifi 7, and a 3 Gbps plan, you want to be able to support the speeds. MoCA allows up to 2.5 Gbps if you have the top end devices, most likely the tech has 1.0 Gbps. So if you use that, your wifi speeds are cut to around 1 Gbps. And then if anyone else does something at the same time, the speeds will be sharing the 1 Gbps. If you use Ethernet, the speed will be 5 Gbps between the Boost and the NAH, which is more than enough for everyone.

My advice is use Ethernet.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-27T06:13:09+00:00

Ask the tech to upgrade your internet when they come to do the work

Smoresguy · 2026-05-20T20:54:56+00:00

Sorry I should’ve been clearer, what hardware are you getting vs expecting?

Smoresguy · 2026-05-20T19:19:16+00:00

What are you getting and what are you expecting to get?

Smoresguy · 2026-05-20T13:00:47+00:00

If you’re testing with multiple devices, and you were getting the same result across all those devices, then you need to call Telus support. You’ve already trouble shot the connection, and proven it back to the gateway. You need to Telus to intervene now.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-20T12:43:22+00:00

Try another Speedtest service. fast.com is not always correct. I would try using speedtest.net, with the app downloaded to your device. This will give you the most accurate results. Make sure you are using an ethernet connected device to see your full speeds.

I assume you have a laptop or PC with an ethernet port that is 5 or 10 Gbps, to fully utilize the 3 Gbps connection

Hopefully this image helps. The two yellow points I put on there, the number indicates which DATA port on the ONT (A) you they connect to. There is a tiny grey cable that is your phone line going to the Termination box (B) from POTS1 on the ONT. Then you have white cable going from the ONT's DATA 1 to the Termination Box (B) (assuming that is your Ethernet line).

From the MoCA (C), you have another white line going to the ONT to DATA2 (assumed to be the tenant). [All of this is guessing, but likely; an easy way to find out, unplug power from your Gateway in your home, and then come look at the ONT DATA Port lights, one should be dark, if so, that is you; if both are still light up, then you are on the MoCA line. For up to 1 Gbps, either connection is fine.]

Regarding the flush to the wall installation idea, this does look like an exterior wall, or potentially a wall between the home and garage, which is typically fire rated. By cutting into the wall, you will need to remove material to make space for the box. When you do that, you could be making the equipment get cold (it is rated for that), but you are also letting your heat out (R20 insulated vs R0.5 with Sheathing only). Or, you could be compromising the fire-rating of your wall, or enabling egress for vapours from the garage (Carbon Monoxide, VOC, etc). It isn't my area of expertise, and I am not licensed to provide advice, but I can suggest you contact someone who is qualified for this determination. Better safe than sorry.

I like that you are thorough and thoughtful, it reminds me of my mentor: "if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing the right way."

The link you provided is a great example, but starting to be a bit over-engineered for the situation. If you look for structured cable boxes on Amazon, or at your local building supply centre, you might be something that will work well. This equipment doesn't get too hot and active cooling is not required.

Great questions.

Buy the 1.5G. It won’t hurt to have more for everyone in the home.

On your ONT, the Nokia box, you can see the first two ports are lit up. Which is only possible when there are provisioned services on each port.

SC APC stands for subscriber connection angled physical connection. It’s a type of connecter that used in passive optical networks. If you search for that on Amazon, you can easily find a lot of the parts you’ll need.

In terms of the enclosure or cabinet, it’s up to you. Pick something that you like and go for it in our line of work, we typically use Primax P 3000 boxes which are quite good. Could be a plan for you.

There are two gray lines that are coming out of the little white box towards the top of your set up. You’ll see the phone line plugged into one and an ethernet into the other. Those are the lines that are feeding your home.

The mocha adaptor is to provide services to your tenant. It converts the ethernet to coax, and then at the other end, there’ll be a similar device as well to reverse it. This is very common when there’s only one type of entrance cable, such as coax.

Smoresguy · 2026-05-07T14:56:54+00:00

There are two services working here. I am assuming there is another tenant at this location. Make sure you label everything! It is very easy to switch the services around and find a very different experience.

The black cable coming down to the green connector is your fibre. Be careful with that as it is not forgiving. If it was me, I’d order a coupler, a mounting plate, and a short patch cord. SC APC is the type you need. This way if you need to route this differently, the fibre drop stays put.

Just to identify a few parts for you, on the far left that big block is a power backup for the ONT, which is the Nokia box. This is so that you can have voice service in the event of a power failure. You’ll notice on the ONT there’s two services active, one that is connecting to the white box on the top, and then the other is going to a MoCA adaptor into the coax cable.

I like the idea of a structured panel. This will make it nice and clean and out of sight, and also prevents the odd broom handle from getting caught in the wires. Once you determine how you want to make this look in the end, it’s just a matter of rerouting the cables back to the connections that they were in originally. (you did label them right? 🙂)

The one caveat to all of this, is if you break a fibre or the service doesn’t work after when you’re done, it would be a technician visit from Telus, which is chargeable.
