TMobile home internet connection issues

One thing to keep in mind too, especially as summertime starts to heat up. (ESP if the gateway is near a window to get good reception...).

5G Connections Create heat. Windows with Sunlight create heat. Warmer air in general removes the ability to remove heat. 5G + Sun + Warm Air = Overheating SOC = Restarts and instability.

Make sure your 5g gateway is kept cool. If needed, get a fan stand to set it on. You can get what is basically a case fan for a computer in a small enclosure for like 7 -15 bucks on Amazon. I found one that fit perfectly on top of the trashcan and it hasn't left it.

You can find them with a USB connector for power. I bought a little A to C converter adapter, which I plugged into the otherwise unused USB port on the back of the trashcan.

Going back since I tried that a couple years ago now, the thing has been rock solid. Sometimes I'll get to uptime of 45+ days before I need to restart, and even then it's because it's just a little sluggish on initial webpage loads. 

Important point: If you're forcing air through any electronic device, be ready with compressed air at least once every couple of months. Dust on the inside is almost worse than direct sunlight. If you have a really dusty house you may need to do it every three or four months.

I've had a solid experience now with the trashcan for a couple of years and pull 400+ Mb/s and 60 Mb/s up. Hoping it'll last for quite a while!
