Zero Dead Zones

Available at 10+ Bolt Wireless stores across BC, Alberta & Ontario
The WiFi Dead Zone Problem
A single router cannot reach every corner of a modern home. Walls, floors, distance, and interference create dead zones where WiFi barely works — or does not work at all.
Video calls dropping in the home office
Buffering when streaming in the bedroom
No signal in the basement or garage
Smart home devices disconnecting randomly
The Solution: Mesh WiFi
TELUS Whole Home WiFi places multiple mesh access points throughout your home, creating a unified wireless network that reaches everywhere. Instead of one router trying to do it all, each pod extends the network seamlessly — eliminating dead zones completely.
How Whole Home WiFi Works
Mesh pods work together as a unified system — not as separate networks.
Seamless Coverage
Mesh pods create a single unified WiFi network throughout your entire home. Your devices automatically connect to the strongest pod as you move room to room — no switching networks, no dropouts.
Self-Optimizing
The system continuously analyzes traffic and automatically routes devices to the least congested channel and frequency band. Performance actually improves over time as the system learns your usage patterns.
Easy to Manage
The TELUS My Wi-Fi app lets you see all connected devices, run speed tests, create guest networks, pause internet for specific devices, and set parental controls — all from your phone.
Professional Setup
TELUS technicians place pods in optimal locations based on your home layout and building materials. No guesswork, no trial and error — just reliable coverage from day one.

How Many Pods Does Your Home Need?
The number of pods depends on your home size, layout, and building materials.

The included WiFi 6 router typically covers a small home or apartment. One additional pod ensures full coverage if you have thick walls or multiple floors.
Medium Home
1,500 - 3,000 sq ft
Most medium-sized homes benefit from 1-2 additional pods. This covers multi-level homes and ensures strong signal in far corners and basements.
Large Home
3,000 - 5,000 sq ft
Large homes, especially those with multiple floors, benefit from 3-4 pods for complete wall-to-wall coverage. Includes basements and outdoor patios.
Very Large / Complex
Over 5,000 sq ft
Expansive homes or unique layouts may need 4 or more pods. A TELUS technician will assess your specific needs and optimize pod placement.

TELUS Whole Home WiFi FAQs
Common questions about TELUS Whole Home WiFi and mesh networking.
What is TELUS Whole Home WiFi?
TELUS Whole Home WiFi is a mesh networking system that uses multiple WiFi 6 access points (pods) placed throughout your home to create a single, seamless wireless network. Unlike WiFi extenders that create separate networks and cut speeds in half, mesh pods work together as one unified system — providing strong, consistent coverage in every room including basements, garages, and outdoor spaces.
Is Whole Home WiFi included with TELUS internet plans?
Yes. TELUS includes a WiFi 6 gateway router with all PureFibre and high-speed internet plans at no extra cost. Additional Whole Home WiFi mesh pods can be added to extend coverage throughout larger homes. Visit Bolt Wireless to discuss how many pods your home needs — our team can recommend the right configuration based on your home size and layout.
How many WiFi pods do I need?
It depends on your home size and layout. Small homes and apartments (under 1,500 sq ft) typically need just the included router. Medium homes (1,500-3,000 sq ft) benefit from 1-2 additional pods. Large homes (3,000+ sq ft) usually need 3-4 pods. A TELUS technician can assess your home and place pods in optimal locations during installation.
Is Whole Home WiFi better than a WiFi extender?
Significantly better. WiFi extenders create a separate network, cut your bandwidth in half, and require you to manually switch between networks. TELUS Whole Home WiFi mesh pods create a single unified network with full-speed connections. Your devices automatically and seamlessly switch to the strongest pod as you move through your home — no manual switching, no speed loss.
Can Whole Home WiFi support 100+ devices?
Yes. WiFi 6 technology uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) to serve many devices simultaneously rather than one at a time. Combined with multiple mesh pods, the system comfortably supports 100+ connected devices including phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, security cameras, smart home devices, and gaming consoles.
Does Whole Home WiFi work with non-TELUS internet?
TELUS Whole Home WiFi pods are designed specifically to work with the TELUS gateway router and are optimized for the TELUS network. They are not compatible with third-party routers. If you have TELUS internet, the pods integrate seamlessly for the best performance.
Can I manage my WiFi network from my phone?
Yes. The TELUS My Wi-Fi app gives you full control. You can see all connected devices, run speed tests, create a guest network, pause internet access for specific devices, set up parental controls with content filtering, and receive security alerts — all from your smartphone.
