Sagemcom gateway update August 2023
It seems there is some good news in the pipeline, according to the following story. In essence, T-Mobile home internet will be releasing two revised gateways, but the one to watch is the Sagemcom TMO4GSE. If you are like many of us and you need a little better signal, you used one of the numerous tutorials on how to open-up the gateway and add 2-4 SMA external antenna connectors to connect to a Waveform external antenna. The new Sagemcom gateway will reportedly have four (4) external SMA antenna connectors built into the gateway!! This will be a game-changer for many who are apprehensive about opening up the gateway to attach the required connectors.
Question - when the revised Sagemcom TMO4GSE is released, will you ask to exchange your current gateway?

Personally… I’d be more interested in the Arcadyan device with multiband carrier aggregation.
I’m close enough that I don’t need or want external (at this time).
At a guess, the external antenna support indicates the Sercomm is going to be aimed at business customers rather than home users. None of the current home offerings have it, and it's unlikely T-Mobile will start offering it to normal consumers. Businesses, especially at enterprise scale, are more likely to make use of external antennas.
