Hi there, Telus recently installed an ActionTec T3200M in my home, and the SmartSteering feature has been a big win.
I would now like to deploy a WiFi extender that works with the T3200M, to potentially extend the SmartSteering feature throughout the residence.
In looking at the ActionTec support web site for the WCB3000N extender, they say this:
"The WCB3000N WiFi Network Extender communicates directly with your Actiontec router over your home’s existing network. The extender takes the credentials from your existing Wi-Fi network and creates a second network with the same name. This means that your devices go from one network to the other, seamlessly."
That quote is from this support page :
https://www.actiontec.com/products/home-networking/wcb3000n/
It sounds like the WCB3000N is built to work out of the box with SmartSteering on their compatible routers, but I'd like to confirm a couple of things with this community:
* if this device is compatible with the T3200M ? Does anyone have any experiences they can share ?
* if this device is available through Telus Internet support ?
Thanks for any discussion on this WCB3000N !
