Distance to the Wi-Fi gateway/router
The average distance for the Wi-Fi signal on a TELUS Actiontec gateway is about 50 meters.
If the gateway is too far from the devices, a Wi-Fi booster might be required. Otherwise, relocating the gateway by contacting TELUS Support is recommended.
Note: For business clients, TELUS does not offer any Wi-Fi boosters at this time.
