Intermittent Service t-Mobile 5G
I just received my 5G gateway and have set this up. I'm a software engineer with a solid knowledge of electronics and telecoms but I'm not up to date with latest stuff. Anyway I have the device setu...
What OS is your wired client running? If you are running a Win 10 client it is pretty simple to go into the network settings for the NIC and instead of allowing it to auto negotiate set it gigabit. Force it in effect. The capability handshake negotiation between clients is a low level and there might be some low level signaling that is not working well between the client and the gateway. As a test it might prove helpful.
I use two different gigabit switches by different vendors plus I have used my MAC direct against the gateway. I can't remember if I used one of my W10 clients or a Linux client direct against the gateway. Given how many users connect routers to the T-Mobile gateways I don't believe there is a major issue with Ethernet ports on the gateways. The technology is very mature. It might be a bad Ethernet module but without testing equipment it would be hard to say.
