a couple of years ago i got to test one of those what some call a trashcan 5g internet device. it seemed to work well but i could not see my cameras thru it when i was gone, so i sent it back.

so now being they ahve had a couple of years to perfect this unit have they ever got them so you can see your security system when out of the home and gone?

also i was at the t mo store the other day to see if the could help me get my metro phone working and they talked about a new 5g modem, so is that new modem any better and is it the same price for using as the trash can unit?

today i was on the t mo site and typed in my address and it said I'm now not in the coverage area and i can see the 5 g tower out my back door.

AFAIK, nothing has changed.  Using the gateway still does not assign you a permanent IP address for connection outside of your home to view security devices.

The newer gateway is the same price, but appears to have the same external access problem as the older gateway.  Opinions differ on whether it is better or not.

And, availability of T-Mobile Home Internet is not only based on 5G coverage, but also the number of devices already connected to a cell tower so not to saturate the available bandwidth.
