Disconnection
2 to 3 times per night I'm playing a ga.e while winding down for bed and it will disconnect from server and immediately reconnect...it seems to always after about 12am
The short disconnect may be caused by switching from one data channel to another. T-Mobile uses two main 5G data channels: N41 and N71. The gateways generally perfer N41 if the signal quality allows. N71 is usually used when N41 signal is too weak or too noisy. Late in the night, human activities start to ease off. N41 may suddenly become a better option for the data connection. The gateway will switch you from N71 or a LTE channel to N41. When this happens, your game server will drop you since your IP address may also change with the switch over.
If this is indeed the case, your solution is to find a different spot that will allows you to lock on N41 all the time, or get an external antenna that offers better reception.
