Boost 6 Wifi and Old Boosters

[news]

[wireless]

Hi Everyone,

I recently got upgraded to the Boost Wifi 6 package (router + fibre), but noticed the range was substantially less than the old T3200 router setup.

I've tried installing the old Telus Boost Starter Kit mesh network (flat boosters), but they don't seem to be compatible with the new router. I've seen a few people say there are workarounds for this, but haven't found anything solid enough to try.

Does anyone have a recipe that you can document here that is easy to follow? (I've tried the "connect both routers to the new router and wait 20 mins" thing, but all I got was solid blue lights but they did not extend the network at all.)

Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to pay $10/mo to Telus to continue having the level of service we already had with the old system. Seems unfair that we would have to pay more for something we already had.

Thanks.
