Home Internet Gaming Problem
I recently started testdriving T-Mobile home internet at my house, and it's worked great for everything except games, where I'm having a weird issue with some of them. When I try to play Apex Legends on PC, the game will connect and play really smooth for anywhere from 1-3minutes, and then all communication will be lost, which will take 20 seconds for the game to kick me out to the main menu. If I go back into the game from the main menu, it'll work fine untill the 1-3minutes elapses. During all of this my PC never loses connection, and this issue occurs over wifi and ethernet. This issue probably does not lie with the game as this issue does not occur with other ISPs, and it did not coincide with an update. A similar issue is happening with Splatoon 3 on the Nintendo Switch, where the game will play superb for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before dropping the connection. Is this a known issue with the service or gateway, is there anyway I can debug my connection, and does anyone know anyway that could possibly remedy the situation? I'd love to keep the home internet, but one of the main things I use the internet for is games, meaning this service wouldn't work for me.
Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System
On the new grey 5G home internet box, when you connect to its web page (typicallyhttp://192.168.12.1/), on the Overview screen, under the Devices panel, one of the items listed is "Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System", just above "Wireless" and "Ethenet". This implies a third way of networking devices (it currently says 0 connected). I have a DecoWi-Fi 6 mesh router and was wondering if they could be interconnected by something other than an ethnet cable. Is this something that is currently implemented or is it just a planned feature for a future expansion? On their product page (https://www.t-mobile.com/isp/gateway) where it lists device features, it also says "Mesh expandable Yes", but I haven't found any details about this in the documentation.
Is anyone else having problems with a changing IP address?
I've had the Home Internet service for 3 months now and I'm generally happy with it, but one thing is rather annoying. The external IP address that gets assigned to my gateway keeps changing. This has two side effects. Web sites forCCs,banks, etc remember the IP address that you last used to connect and if it changes, they will require additional verification. The other problem is with streaming TV services. The local broadcasts that I'm allowed to watch will depend on where they think that I'm located. My estimated location usually depends on my IP address and in the last month this has changed 4 times! My IP address location has changed from Kansas to Oklahoma, to Texas and today it thinks I'm on Ohio!
ITS TIME TO SUE T-MOBILE BAD INTERNET SERVICE

So apparently I cannot connect to sites that need to verify your location because my new tmobile internet service shows me as being located in a State that is different from my actual location. Been on hold for 50 mins to speak to someone, not sure if I will get anyone tonightand this is not looking good for customer service support that you don't have a different number specifically for tech issues like this.
Home Internet Gateway Needs Reboot Multiple Times Daily, Internet Access Dropping
Multiple times on most days, at no particular time of day, internet access stops working. Devices can still connect to the WiFi network, but there is no internet access on WiFi or wired until the device gets turned off and back on. In rare cases it might work itself out within a matter of hours, for example if I am not home to reboot it. It has been like this the entire time I've had it, and it causes parts of my security system not to work, as well as stops my crypto mining that my PC does when I'm not using it, therefore actively costing me money when I'm not home to babysit the gateway (eg, at work). I really,reallywant to stick with T-Mo but I'll have to sign up with the local cable monopoly if uptime is this bad.
