Internet becomes unusable randomly at night around 10pm-2am
So the tmobile home internet works pretty well throughout the day it almost has no issues at all I get decent speeds and ping and can actually use it for internet heavy stuff. But the problem is ran...
@Theguy I feel your frustration.
Generally, good 5G metrics look like this (see the attached table) RSRQ -11 (good), RSRP -94 (not good), SINR 4 (not good). RSRQ is the measurement of the signal strength your gateway gets from your cell tower. It should be closer to 80 (mine is 71).
Which gateway do you have? If its the Arcadian, maybe you can take the gateway back to your local T-Mobile store and ask to switch it our for the Sagemcom. Explain the diagnosing you have been doing.
Also, you may want to take a look at the following setup video. The speaker does a good job of explaining his process, which was good. The only thing I didn't see is that you may be able to increase your metrics by slightly rotating your gateway 1/10th of the way in a circular fashion. the 5G antennas are located near the corners of the gateway, so you may better align the 5G antenna. What I did was to lightly rotate my gateway, then refresh the signal, retest, and repeat until I got a good stable signal
I hope this helps!
