Need Wifi Access outside, how can I extend my Bell Fibe outside?

Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.

I trust you mean that you have Fibe 150 Internet? You did not mention your TV service. I will assume you do not have Fibe TV or Fibe TV App.

You definitely have a fair number of devices connected for the bandwidth that you do have. Has Fibre been installed in your neighborhood or are you still on copper?

An increase in speed would certainly be of benefit to you. You can check on MyBell to see if there is a higher speed that you can move up to. Is this a Smart TV in your Sunroom? Are you able run an ethernet cable from the modem to the TV network connection. This would be your best choice. If you wish to remain wireless, you could add Bell Wi-fi pods to improve your signal in the Sunroom.

What are Whole Home Wi-Fi pods and how do I use them? : What are Wi-Fi pods? (bell.ca)

Take care.

More speed will not fix your poor signal in that location. The Eero 6 will fix the signal strength. As long as your current plan provides you with the data speeds you need, there would be no need to upgrade unless it's cheaper than your current plan.

Thanks so much … now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that I can hook it up LOL

Should be no issue if you follow the instructions.

Eero setup

@BOB10 did you hook up wirelessly ? My Sunroom is only about 20 feet from the router but located through two walls … all other devises work out there .. the tv during the daytime doesn’t buffer but at night it does more !

[BOB10]

Yes the eero has three pods and two are in my basement as the router is in the mechanical room! One had to be wired to the router.  I also have a different extender on main floor at stairwell.  Then I have another wireless extender outside patio door which works well for the tv outside! Lots of work but haven’t had an issue since installing!

[BOB10]

upgrade your speed but you still may need a wifi extender just by the sunroom opening.

[BOB10]

Follow the instructions provided!  It easy.

Thanks so much .. From what I have been reading I'm more or less cutting out the router on the HH? (The wife bought the three pack too) dumb? Did the WiFi ago work with eero?

[BOB10]

Do you have anything hooked up to the router itself?  Cameras/sonos etc?  If so, those will still use the router name and your tv will now use the new eero name you create when installing it (use your surname, it's easiest).  Download the app first before you start the install.

Do you mean by way of ether hook up …then the answer would be no … but other wise there are a few amazon sticks and our phones use Wi-Fi .. door bell  .. wifi plug for lights ..and two google home mini’s …also two ipads (his and her’s ) 

[BOB10]

You are good.  You can use either for all your wifi products (meaning the router or the eero pods).

HomeHub 3000 I have . Hmmm right now I have an amazon stick with a weak signal in a Sunroom we just built . To try and improve it I bought Eero 6 mesh . Still not working up to snuff . It’s on two different SIDD .. (two different networks) Anyways not sure what to do to get a stronger signal out there … works fine for a while then I buffer .. what would you do if you couldn’t run a wired system ? Are the Bell pods better ? 

Thanks so Much

Just to let everyone know …the Eero 6 didn’t work ..let them stay in place for 2 days ..moved them around and they actually cut the speed in half and did nothing to help, The Bestbuy suggested a Wi-Fi Extender … nothing . Now I think I’m going to try the Bell Pods .. Keeping my fingers crossed ! Will update you all later !

[BOB10]

Did you download the EERO App for your phone beforehand?  It doesn't seem like you have installed them correctly.

The app tells you where to place the pods for added speed.
