My experience with the new T-Mobile Home Internet (NOK5G21)
I have always used my T-Mobile router (ASUS) and T-Link modem with Spectrum service, Speed has always been a solid 230Mbps down and 12Mbps up. Very stable and never had any issues. Works perfect. ...
Well folks, after two weeks of using the TMO Home internet service with the NOK5G21, I have officially called it quits and went back to using my TMO Cellspot router / TP-Link modem and Spectrum service. All is back to normal now. Speeds at the usual 230/12, all wifi devices happy now.
I tried my best to stay with TMO service and even stayed as long as possible for TMO to acknowledge the issues, but there really isn't much feedback from TMO support. The continuous problems of work VPN issues, daily/simultaneous loss of all wifi devices, download/upload speeds drop dramatically, having to powercycle wifi devices to get connected again, limited GUI functions, and video buffering was too much of a nuisance. I could live with some of these issues and just deal with it, but why bother at cost of 50.00 per month.
I really liked the single device hardware and all wireless capability of the NOK5G21, but it is just not ready for prime time. Maybe OK for a small home with kids internet surfing.
I will try again next year when things get more stable.
