Extending wifi 6 from a Telus router
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just set up this extender today with the tether app. All went well except my wifi 6 primary router (Telus) has 3 radios, 2.4, 5 mid, & 5 high. The tether app only allows 2 to be used so I randomly chose 2.4 & 5 mid. A speed test on a wifi 6 enabled phone gave about 180 Mbps on a gigabit fiber connection. Any known problems with this? TIA.

Hi, welcome to the community.
Are there two separate SSIDs for 5 mid, & 5 high or just one united SSID?
Is RE505x able to detect the 5GHz-high SSID?
Please also refer to this link to help me check the wireless link speed when the Wi-Fi 6-enabled phone is connected to RE505x:
How to check the associated/link speed on a wireless client
By the way, how much speed on the Wi-Fi 6-enabled phone when it is connected to the Telus router?
Thank you very much and best regards.

Thanks. The ISP router has only 1 SSID for all bands. On initial 5G setup in Tether the RE505x showed both 5G bands, I had to choose only 1. I'm not sure if using both is part of wifi 6 or not. When I go back in now it just shows the mac addresses of both 5G radios.2.4 is also connected & I have the option to auto stop 1 band to speed up the other turned on.
I'll do the speed tests later when home & update.

I just looked at the connect speed from the RE505x, 5G, from close to the extender. 816 Mbps up & down. It's 1200 up and down from near the main router. Pixel 8 phone, showing wifi 6 for router & extender. The extender is in that middle signal range from the main router. Hope this helps.

May I know the wireless internet speed on the Pixel 8 when the link speed is 1200m/s near the router?
I see Google Pixel 8 is up to WiFi 7 and the link speed should also be 1200m/s when it is near RE505x.
May I know how far from RE505x to the Telus router?
I wonder how much link speed from the host Telus router you could get on the Pixel 8 if it is in the same location as RE505x.(you could temporarily unplug RE505x)
Can I have the model number of the Telus router?
Thank you very much and best regards.
