T-mobile home internet router not working with (some) Matter Smart Home Devices

I bought some Leviton 215P smart plugs and I just cannot get them working on my t-mobile router. I have gone through numerous steps to try and get this working but no luck.

I suspect the router is the issue because I got the plugs to pair with my matter controller immediately when I took them to a different home using Optimum and an Arris router.

After working with Leviton, they also suspect the router. I have Nest thermostats that use Matter but apparently they use threads and not Wi-fi.

Has anyone got Matter over Wi-fi to work on a t-mobile home internet wi-fi network?

I did enroll in the Leviton Matter program

I have the devices and controller all on the same 2.4GHz network

None of Apple TV, Eco Dot or Homeassistant will pair with the Leviton (but they will on the Optimum wi-fi)

The Plug will enroll on the network and can be controlled by the Leviton App, its just Matter thats not working.

    Update: I purchase a tapo P125M smart plug and that setup and worked first time with home internet router, so it seems the Leviton device is indeed the issue

    I've been having the exact same problem. I have the t-mobile NOK5G12 Gateway with Eve and Leviton thread and matter products and none of them will pair. I bring the same products to another home with a Cox router and everything Works fine. 

  • I'm having the same issue with Leviton and matter devices I'm going to try to use a Wi-Fi repeater if that doesn't work just connect a Wi-Fi router to the T-Mobile unit. I'm not sure if T-Mobile will swap out the Nokia unit I have.
