How low a temperature can my T-Moble 5G High-Speed Internet Gateway handle?
The best signal in the house is on the enclosed front porch, which is a three season room. Winter temps can get down below 40 degrees. Will that impact my home internet performance?

While generally true, LCD screens can freeze and cause permanent damage and batteries can lose life in freezing temperatures. While neither will likely affect the operation of the gateway, you are leasing the gateway from TMO and have a risk you will be responsible for repair if they determine it was due to operating outside of specifications. Of course you would have to admit to that which is your own ethical decision.
