@Shawhelp hi there. Are you having issues in Sherwood Park Alberta? I have no cable or internet. I've rebooted my Bluecurve modem but all I get it a yellow/orange flashing light.

@Shaybeerta @JulieRohrYEG @ShawInfo Came here to say exactly this! Best way to get good speed is just run a long Cat6 cable directly from your modem. Wi-Fi will never be as good, even with a booster.

@JulieRohrYEG @ShawInfo Sorry I realized my response was getting too long-winded so I will say: look into the placement of your modem - we've been having issues with our internet and turns out our modem was in a suboptimal location! And/or try direct connections if possible!

@JulieRohrYEG @ShawInfo 5/ Run trial web casting sessions. If the signal is still poor. Switching ISPs might be an option. Pls keep in mind that the trial sessions need to closely resemble the traffic generated during the event. So you need a trial session w/ the same # of expected guests or greater.

@JulieRohrYEG @Shaybeerta @ShawInfo If you are close to the router you want to use the 5 ghz wifi band. Further away, the 2.4 ghz band. Android phones have an app to test signal strength around your house.

@JulieRohrYEG @Shaybeerta @ShawInfo I have had problems when a neighbour is on the same Shaw or Telus channel as my router. Shaw would know how to fix that remotely by accessing your router .

@TELUSsupport We recently switched from @ShawInfo to Telus and we are having nothing but problems with our PVR. We've had to reboot the machine 8-10 times so far just to watch our shows. The last tech support agent that I spoke with treated me like a child. Can I get some support

@JulieRohrYEG @ShawInfo 4/ The list displayed in Netspot, under the ssid heading, is a good indication if dominant neighborhood provider is shaw, telus, or another vendor. Another way to confirm if the signal coming into your home is poor is to connect to the ISP device with an ethernet cable.

@JulieRohrYEG @Shaybeerta @ShawInfo Because you are on Shaw you don’t want to share bandwith with others in the same building. It would help if you are the only one on line when you Zoom. Your router has two bands. ....

@Shawhelp Still having issues with billing, and technical issues. Your support person sent an email that doesn't accept replies; makes me think maybe you didn't want to resolve the issue? 🙃
