2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping

I've been having the same issue ever since I got T-mobile home internet about a month ago. At random times my devices will no longer be able to connect to the 2.4ghz network. The signal still broadcasts, but I will get a "cannot connect to this network" error on the device when attempting to connect.

The only solution for this is to reset the router, but this happens daily (and actually twice so far today). As happy as I am with the price, I WFH and can't be running across the house to reset my router to restore my internet service 1-2 times a day.

My guess would be you have exceeded the max number of 10 devices in the 2.4 band. Had this happen once I started adding smart plugs, garage door, Alexa, Chromecast, etc. adds up quick then if you have multiple phones and/or PCs as well. You can check through the Home Internet app. If this is the case there are a few workarounds. 

What workarounds do you know of? I'm trying to avoid buying another access point. Its very strange "home internet" would have such a limit in this day in age. Put a few security cameras, door bell(s), Alexa's, and you hit that limit really really quick (just like every one else says).

T-Mobile really needs to adjust this.

Having the same issue here

Exact same issue here. Devices connected to 2.4 signal suddenly lose internet. Our Vivint security system only connects to 2.4 so it regularly cuts out. Having a spare router to connect devices to may be a workaround but the problem needs to be addressed with an update to Tmobile's device.

Have same issue -- only 1 device on 2.4.  Power on/off fixes it but a pain.  This seems to be an LTE router issue so likely low on T Mobiles priority.

Same issue and they even admitted there IS a known issue and attempted to fix by replacing the gateway, but it didn't help.  Seems more like a data use trigger verses number of devices.  We have TV and Security cams connected and occasionally a phone or PC.  VERY frustrated.  Can't wait for Verizon to open their service in our area, or possibly a better rural home ISP will come along 🙏🏼

the price is great internet not so much. when connected its great but thats maybe twice a day. Went from dsl to this but the dsl was always connected come on T-mobile fix this crap we all know you can

Same issue have my security cameras hooked up to it and it constantly loses service router says no connection and doesn't automatically connect have to physically power on/off gateway then it works again for a short period of time..however when I'm not home for long periods can't reset it. Have called customer support several times and had to wait on hold for hours and once finally connected they transfer me to another department and wait on hold for hours again. Sent me two new gateways one didn't work out the box. New gateway didn't fix the issue. Internet is almost useless as it's never working and customer service is a multi hour process and they provide no solution. Paying for a service that works maybe 10 percent of the time. Wish TMobile would fix this issue...I'll be looking for a new service.

Same problem; recurring for several months.
