High-Speed Internet Gateway does not work with some apps on T-mobile Home Wifi Internet
That's crazy, I haven't had those issues. I get about 3 bars on 5g, or 4bars if I orient it better however it's still good enough in non-ideal location where I prefer to have it.
Had the unit for nearly 2 months now. I keep it in a cool spot of the house, loads of ventilation around it and with the wifi turned off on it, it doesn't heat itself as much, so less of a chance of it breaking prematurely.
Internet is running pretty good. Occasional hitches still include slightly slower response time on web pages vs cable. In FPS video games it's mostly fine with occasional very brief split second lag. For streaming video is perfect, general downloads perfect again. Slower paced games also perfect.
For stock trading like TWS, i have to use NORD VPN connected to Chicago (nearest to me) using UDP protocol and split tunneling so only the "Chromium" app of the TWS workstation gets tunneled otherwise the whole system would. And you're probably wondering why VPN, because without it, it simply doesn't work right. T-mobile must be blocking certain ports, or something about their filtering methods cause the app to stall without VPN. Didn't need vpn with Xfinity. Nord VPN is cheap and besides i was already using it for other things so it's not a bother.
I also VM into Linux at same time and manually set the network it uses as the non vpn one, otherwise it runs weird.
Sure, it's a lot of steps. But once i figured it out once, it's all automatic now and runs perfectly. Bye Xfinity Crapcast, see you never.
I'm just happy not to worry about data cap anymore and not overpay for that privilege. I also signed up for T-Mobile TVision TV streaming service, it is 100% worth it considering how much I save on internet now. And you get more than just live TV, but also Netflix style shows!!! $50 well spent. They also have a $40 deal worth looking into. With Comcast they wanted $30 just for 10 local channels i get for free with antenna anyways, pft.
I'm lucky enough to have near perfect line of sight to a tower within a mile away, so my speeds are great anywhere from 65 to 235 with the peak time average being more around 85 to 125mbps Mbps download and consistent 50-60 Mbps uploads
I also downloaded a little over 1TB of data my first month. Never throttled. Truly unlimited.
Thanks T-Mobile for being the good guys. This is how internet should be! ¡Eres espectacular!
