5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed. There are too many internet disconnections.
Let me start by saying I do like having wireless internet. The problem is I don't think it is ready for primetime. Speed is great, price is great, but It loses its connection to the internet about once every two days. It's sad. I have spoken with T-Mobile many times. They have updated my firmware and done other things (I have no idea what they change there), and they tell me that these changes will fix all the problems. Sure! I am getting close to asking them to replace my Gateway to see if that helps. Has anyone had a replacement and found that helped?

I don't care wether you agree with me or not. You don't know what I've done and you really shouldn't be assuming you know more than I do as far as what I've been through. T-Mobile internet doesn't work and there's plenty of complaints about their service. And I'm paying the same price for my new internet as I was paying for T-mobile internet, and it works. So for you to assume I'm paying three times the amount as t-mobile internet is an ignorant assumption. Because you're WRONG. But it sounds like you don't like being wrong, you just like assuming something you know nothing about.

Why do you care? Why are you taking this personal? Move on. Why are you here? You're taking this so personal as if you work for T-mobile. T-mobile is garbage, and that's my personal experience. I have a right to voice my experience. Telling me I will pay three times as much is total BS. You know NOTHING about what I'm paying. For everyone having issues with T-mobile, I'm having the same issues. Get a internet provider that is reliable, because T-mobile is garbage.

The T-Mobile Home Internet is completely DISASTROUS. The internet drops like 5 to 6 times a day. My partner and I both work from home and this is starting to get really annoying. And when the internet is down, I also can't even use my hotspot. At this point, we are definitely looking into quitting the service. We're on our 3rd modem tower from them and the issues keep coming back. This has been an ongoing issue for at least the last 3 months. No one is able to help, We're both in IT so you can easily assume we have tried EVERY troubleshooting method. We're switching back to SPECTRUM. I don't want to support their services but at least they're better by far in the reliability of their service.
I don't blame you, I've switched to a cable service provider for the same price as T-mobile was charging me. T-mobile internet is DISASTROUS and they cannot resolve any issues. I tried everything, and the tower is just useless.

Oh wait, T-mobile internet was consistent. CONSISTENTLY BAD!
for 007bondM16, your a troll who probably works for T-mobile. Best decision I ever made was getting rid of T-mobile internet and going with a RELIABLE internet service for the exact same price!!!! - JANEVRoaming Rookie

What service did you switch too? It's great if some people can make the gateway work, but having to reboot it 1 to 3 times a day sure indicates to me there's a problem. It's too bad that T-Mobile doesn't know (or won't admit) how to fix it. I have to believe it's the gateway since I don't have problems with my 5G phone connection.
MisterK- After I cancelled T-mobile internet and went with a cable service for the exact same price, my internet is faster and completely reliable. I wish you the very best of luck.

There is one huge diff with your cable that your short sightedness where my view is long term. TMHI is $50 per month lifetime I am sure you did not get that from any cable company. So soon your bill will go up same old thing that happens with cable over and over the deal never last long.
As noted by others some it works some it does not bottom line if you work at it you can get it to work. But to each his own you gave up that's fine as the gateway you returned there is someone waiting to receive it. But come back next year tell us what your cable bill went up to we all will still be at $50 with no data cap. Oh and it's not personal I just am 100% sure it can work in your location but as I have said many times this is not a take out of the box place on table plug in and it works product. You have to find the right location and maybe even install an antenna that part TM fails at informing customers.
But do post the term your cable co gave you I bet it is a year maybe 2 tops then you pay them full price.

I just set up the gateway about a week ago and am seeing similar issues where I need to reset the gateway about once a day due to internet drop out. There appears to be no reason. I called support and they had me reset it and told me it would never happen again, but it still does. Are people still seeing this or has it been fixed?

Phone app is a bit limited go to 192.168.12.1 on your computer web browser.
First page expand Primary and secondary internet connection signal all that info is needed screen shot ok too.
Then on the left click Status and again expand Primary and secondary cellular network again all that data or screenshot.
Again need
RSRP
SNR
RSRQ
RSSI
For both primary and secondary.
And Band for both.
With this info we can help you.
RSRP the lower the number the better.
SNR higher is better on this one.
RSRQ lower is better.
RSSI lower is better.
