T-Mobile Home Internet + Google Nest WiFi
So I looked farther after I made this post. I got it to where I could plug my computer directly into the T Mobile device and the location was incorrect. I would type "wheremai" and check the computer vs the mesh. They were in agreement. The help people said everything looked good that hey could see so they though I had a bad device. Every time I powered it on it came up in different major cities. The people at the store are always great. The only problem was that their system would not let them exchange it for a working device. They had to order one to replace the broken one. I hate that. I was getting about 350mbps with the hub. Sadly to say I had to come home and hook my cable modem back up. The really interesting data point was I could power the Tmobile device and ask what time it was to the mesh. It had the correct but as soon as I asked for something regional like the weather or location the time would change to the zone it was reporting from. I would love to have been able to reload the software and firmware. I suspect that would have corrected the issue. I was a little surprised they couldn't even do that in the store.
Lesson 1: No matter how great the box works:
Keep the receipt and the original box. That seemed to tilt them a little at the store. They had boxes in the back. I wish I could have walked out with a new box as opposed to waiting now on shipping leading me to
lesson 2:
Don't turn off your current provider until you have run with the new box for a while. Had I turned off my COX cable I would have to live with weather from other places and alarms going off for the wrong time zones.
For the people asking about the mesh my observations from the mesh correlated directly with what I had without the mesh. I am certain that the mesh had nothing to do with this and was working fine other than this bug. I have no doubt that the mesh will work great as always. I have thee hubs on my mesh and a Google Home. They all worked great. I don't think I had any compatibility issues. I just plugged everything in and it worked.
