    Default Current Telus Modem hardware

    Hey guys, this may be a simple question, just want to know what the current telus modem hardware is. This new office is running the Actiontec T1200h. No idea what internet plan we are on, but wifi sure sucks!

    LOL, how many users? That consumer grade shit falls apart pretty quickly.

    Actually, I see from a post about my home internet that in June of last year they were sending out the Actiontec T3200M router. So that answers one question, it's not the "current" crappy telus router.

    And it's a two person office. I think we are moving buildings within a year and they aren't going to want to spend any money on hardware for this location. Don't need "good", just "good enough".

    Should be fine once you get the better router.

    In the meantime, check that router's antennas are both straight up on all axes. Also as high up as you can place it.

    If youre company is deadset against having 'normal' wifi, there are optimizing tools within the Telus shitboxes (decrease strenght, change channel, etc.)

    Also, similar to an enema, a reboot (flush) seems to help as well. 3x a week. Keep it regular!

    Just bizarre how some companies operate. Wifi/network is the backbone of most businesses these days.

    that is a very old model. I had it once and i remember the wifi performance was horrible.

    If you don't want to spend money on a dedicated wifi router, see if Telus will replace it for one of their newer boxes for free.

    Why bother with the internal wifi? Get a ubiquiti.

    If they ever get their setup wizards to work anything like the main stream stuff (eg. ASUS) - its game over for the rest. Their shit is that good IMO.

    The learning curve is quite steep but once you get into it, its very adaptable.

    In case anyone wanted an update, I dug into this more, and while it's not satisfying, there is a "reason". It's an old building and something is fuxxored with the building wiring and they are unable to provide this location with anything better than a 10mbps plan. So, in terms of speed, that answers my question, I'm getting about what you'd expect on this level of service. Good thing I don't have many large files to transfer! My "normal" work use is files under 10mb anyway, mostly documents and small spreadsheets.

    Sucks if I want to stream music and download files at the same time, but whatever, that's not a business issue.

    So summary, internet sucks, but that's not really a wifi problem.

    If the business is serious about internet (sounds like they arent) 10mb for 5-10 workers is pitiful.

    For the same price per month (business internet costs) you can get a Rogers LTE rocket hub and burn through 50GB of data a month for about 200$.

    All this at 60-100mbs speeds.

    We had this exact situation with a new location for a client (shit Telus internet in an older industrial location, no cable) and Telus wanted 12,000$ to put in Fiber and 1100$ a month for 1Gbs.

    We said no thanks and that we were going to go with the Rogers rocket hub setup (we used 2) instead. After a month of this Telus, on their own (without asking or telling us) suddenly pulled in Fiber and asked if we wanted to go with their internet?

    I don't disagree, and the fact that this office is 2 or fewer people hardly even matters. Funny enough, my Public mobile cellphone throttles to 3G speeds is basically the same speed for downloads, and significantly faster for uploads.

    We are in the new office and I ran speedtest today. Over wifi on my phone I'm getting 109 MBPS down and 19 MBPS up. That's pretty speedy although it's a friday afternoon so maybe it's slower when more people are in the office.

    Don't know if you still care or not, but had Telus over last week at my parent's place, and they said their modem was due for a replacement and they installed a T3200 (https://www.actiontec.com/products/w...s/vdsl/t3200h/). I was over when Telus was there and the guy said it has AC wireless.
