T-Mobile Home Internet shows 4 bars but keeps dropping signal
Hi. The last month or so, a problem is occurring - the gateway/modem shows 4 bars and has been sitting there for well over two years now. Randomly, I keep getting disconnected from a game server, r...
unless work is being done on the tower that normally covers that area or issues..wonder if adjustments were done to the direction the antennas are pointing or were pointing compared to now?
have you contacted TMO to put in a network ticket yet?
To be honest, if your network is typically ‘good’, or ‘very good’ (T-MObile app), and it is dropping, I’d almost suggest a replacement of the Nokia Trashcan to the Arcadyan device.
I picked this one up in December, and it has been fairly consistent. I have had occasional issues (dropped zoom), but these I suspect are more typical to the low QoS settings and time of day.
Eg. Poor performance in morning/evenings, and I don’t yet have 5G accessible by my device.
Similarly, check the difference between signal in LTE and 5G. If 5G is 'iffy' (my case SINR -2 to +2) makes it unstable when it is above 0 (weak but usable drags performance down vs. completely unusable)
