Home Internet and wifi extender

I had a tp-link range extender connected to my solar system from Comcast. Since switching to t-mobile home internet, it doesn't work. Is there anyone from t-mobile technical team who can explain this?

I use a separate EAP1250 access point nowhere near the router and it works fine. I just hooked it up to an ethernet connection via a switch on the same LAN as the router. I configured it with a static IP address which works with the router's fixed subnet and basically ignore the Wifi that came with it. This seems to work well and has a much better signal in my home and garage (for the wifi enabled sprinkler control). It isn't mounted to the roof, just next to the switch.

EAP1250 - Wi-Fi 5 Wave 2 AC1300 Compact Indoor Wireless AP

I expect this will work with any standalone access point which doesn’t just retransmit another signal.

I don't know what you just said but I want it if it works. I have no clue about networking,subnets,static IP's etc, will this work for dummies? Lol I've gotten a Linksys, TP Link and net gear extenders and none work. 

It’s a discontinued product. I just looked.

Did you ever get an answer? I'm wondering the same thing. Gracias

Did you ever find anything out? I also have the new TMobile internet and due to the my upload speed being less than 2mbps (absolutely ridiculous) I am unable to my security system being that cameras required at least a 10 upload speed. I have spoke with CS for hours and got nowhere? I was told that it should be at least 15 but I have never seen it above 6 in my house. I'm so disappointed being that I had Cox Gigablast before switching and was told that it would match or exceed them...

We just got new TMobile home internet and I'm super upset. Spent an hour on the phone trying to connect my canon printer (it works through WPS and don't ask me why the number/letter key pad won't work like a phone…but even if it did and had upper/lower case letters, you can't get special characters and who just uses all CAPITAL letters for passwords these days?).  TMobile gateways don't have a WPS button. So I purchased a TP-Link Router with a WPS button figuring I'd plug it in, set it up and I'd be good. Alas!  So it's go back to XFINITY and get reliable speeds and a WPS button or go buy all new security cameras and a new printer…I love you guys but I'm a 56 yr old disabled flight attendant who's lucky to know what a router is so all the tech' talk just leaves me utterly flabbergasted. 

I'm having a problem getting my Wavlink Wifi Extender to work with my T-Mo Nokia Gateway in repeater mode. I can get the repeater to connect to the gateway just fine, but it won't connect through to the internet. It seems the gateway won't assign an IP address to the repeater. Any suggestions?

Nothing yet. I have an extender coming from Amazon next week. It will be trial error I guess.

Did you ever get anything to work? 

Have you added a range extender to yours? I just got this device and I need to extend my range. 

I see a lot of people talking about a 10 device limit on their T-Mobile home Internet gateway.I see a lot of people talking about a 10 device limit on their T-Mobile home Internet gateway. I think this is long gone now. We have had our service for over a year now, with this gateway shown. We have done a lot of Wi-Fi home automation this year, where every lightbulb switch and receptacle is its own Wi-Fi device, and have over 55 devices online, at least, right now, and will be adding quite a few more in the future, probably around 75 to 100 devices. Our Gateway is a Nokia 5G 21 gateway kit hardware version 3TG007398.

5GHZ is more than fast enough to play videos, online browsing, emails, etc.  At least with the Netgear device I listed above.  But, after doing further research, using the USB-C to access the Ethernet Port is like shoving a busy 4 lane highway into two lanes.  Bottom line, the Belkin adapter I listed above doesn't work.  Next, I'll try using the Extender switch rather than the access port and mount it in between the router and my shop,

SIDD

Should be SSID

I can confirm the BrosTrend AC1200 works with both the 2.4 and 5 GHZ, The problems are it's slow and it adds a -ext to your SIDD so you have to logon. Works for a light switch or an alarm system. But not so well for a security camera.

Right now I am trying a eero pro6 I bought from Amazon on prime day sale. I have been having problems with it and right now testing it in Bridge mode.
