High-Speed Internet Gateway does not work with some apps on T-mobile Home Wifi Internet
Actualización:
I am having a mostly stable experience with T-mobile WiFi by disabling all the SSID parts of the radios on all frequencies and using my own router as a network hub and wireless access point connected by wire to T-mobile gateway.
There is still the brief lag at times when requesting an online page or doing some task, and it also still experiences data hanging but it does not always crash apps as a result of data taking too long to come in or having brief pauses.
Last night I was playing COD Cold War Zombies on PC and I was hosting the party, no problems at all. I only played for about 2 hours thou.
I guess I have to keep in mind I am saving money compared to cable and overall the internet mostly works fine. I have downloaded about 400gb the first week without any throttling, so that's good too.
Most of my apps work fine. Those that don't are niche cases. Like for whatever reason Amazon prime video works okay unless I start a second prime video stream on the same network.
Some sites and apps don’t diplay correctly so I had to change DNS from default to Google DNS, I did that change for console and PC.
One of my PCs uses even more niche apps, and for that one I use a VPN which I already had.
When connecting my T-mobile phone to T-mobile wifi internet, the wifi calls feature in my phone can and does often break.
Clearly there is a lot of room to improve stability of the T-mobile gateway and home internet experience. But I feel for this month and maybe the next month too. It's worth keeping the service and watching to see if it improves with new firmware.
I really don't want to go back to Comcast / Xfinity and their terribly limited and expensive plans. Att is probably worse, not only don't i get much speed but it also is very unreliable where I live.
I think T-mobile has a real success opportunity in this area.
