Why cellular Wifi?

Hey, I'm only getting two bars on my T-Mobile cell phone in my home. How can I expect to get decent WiFi from the same provider?

 

  • Find your nearest tower and check your 5G signal strength at a window on the highest level of your house facing that direction.  If you're not sure where the tower is, try all the windows.  You would put a gateway near a window with good 5G signal strength.  The gateway then broadcasts Wi-Fi in your home.

  • You probably can’t expect good service from TMHI with only two bars on a fully-compatible, modern cell phone.
