Does the NOK 5G21 Gateway have a bug in the LAN connections?
See this for an intro: https://community.t-mobile.com/tv-home-internet-7/intermittent-service-t-mobile-5g-43972 I have reason to suspect a problem or bug when a device is connected to a LAN port...
The OP asked about the Nokia, so my reply was about that. Sorry to hear that the Arcadyan has that problem. I was going to see about getting one. If any other Arcadyan owners are experiencing this problem, it would be good to get a thread going about that gateway. Perhaps you could post your experience, Unix_User, under a new thread with Arcadyan in the title. I also have an ATV, and it streams 4K videos perfectly via the ethernet (into a switch, then to the gateway via ethernet cable).
The problem you describe can also be caused if your ATV had a static IP address that you were using with your previous router. The T-Mo gateway uses a 192.168.12 subnet that none of my previous gateways used (cable or DSL). So, for example, if your ATV had a statice address in a 192.168.1 or a 10.0.0 subnet, then the gateway would never see the ATV. I've read, but not experienced, that some ATVs had trouble getting a dynamic IP address and needed to have a static address set for a subnet used by the router. I only mention these latter two causes to suggest that it may be something with a setting in your ATV, rather than a bug in the gateway. Just something to check.
I've got a Nokia gateway, and I've been using around 25 devices connected to it for the last 10 months, all connected through the two lan ports, with zero issues that were not related to cell tower upgrades/repair. Ten devices are connected via a 16-port ethernet switch that is connected to one of the gateway's jacks, and the rest are connected to a wireless mesh system whose router (in AP mode) is connected to the gateway's other lan jack. Speed is almost identical to speeds when connected to the gateway via the gateway's wifi interface. If there is a problem with the lan connections on your gateway, it may be a bad chipset in your particular gateway, rather than a bug in the gateway design or firmware. I've had two firmware updates over time, so my gateway's lan has been working properly with three different firmware versions.
