Horrible signal to noise ratio
So my signal to noise ratio is really terrible. So much in fact that my Internet speeds can be 1 to 5 Mbps if lucky. Looking through my gateway settings as well as the app settings I see that the sig...
Hello all,
I am providing the following post to those who like me have a low SINR and slow 5G speeds. On another forum, I learned that one user found that using tin foil to block out unwanted signals works. So, due to the lack of technical support from T-Mobile, I gave it a try.
First, your mileage may vary. For me, I started with an SINR of 1. As I progressed I am at 11. I hope tomorrow to get some thicker tin foil and block out the other signals to get close to 20.
See the pics. For me the gateway is facing towards the south, the direction of my 5G antenna. There are antennas to the north (right of the gateway) blasting signals out, which my gateway is receiving and causing my low SINR. The tin foil is blocking those signals.
This experiment has taken several hours to figure out, but now I have evidence the concept works; block out the unwanted signals with tin foil. I will clean up the wiring and setup once I finish the tin foil work.
I hope this helps.
