0% Battery, 5G21 Gateway
LOVE my new T-Mobile internet service BUT the chimney has been plugged in for 3 days and display still reads, "Battery 0%". Does that mean it's a defective unit or maybe no battery was installed? S...
Sounds like you need to return your gateway and get another one. As for battery backup, neither T-mobile nor Nokia would let me know of an UPS that actually plugs into the UPS port. I ended up buying a 12 volt 35 ampere hour battery, a battery charger and a 300 watt DC to ac invertor that will provide at least 6 hours of ac power to power my gateway, router, alarm system, Smart things hub, television and laptop computer. If power is out or longer than 6 hours, I connect a portable 100 watt solar panel.
Initially, I bought this to power just the gateway for 10 hours:
