Why is it my 5G Internet Gateway can't work using 5G?
As I understand the connections for bands, a B connection is 4G (LTE) and the N connection would be 5G. Whether bands using B12, B2 or B66 that primary signal is a 4G signal, right? Also, from the i...
@iTinkeralot Great post!
In my naivete a year ago, there was no understanding that 4G / LTE / 5G were all MHz-based communication speeds, and that mmwave (GHz-based) technology would soon replace it, for phones and devices capable of utilizing that ‘higher’ spectrum.
Mmwave really should be called "G" (or 6G for that matter), but alas, not to offend the 11/12/13x iPhone early adopters who traded up from 4 to 5G. Mmmmm...marketing.
Seems almost comical now, my repeated inquiries about 5g towers and connection problems then - no point really in putting up more Mhz technology money where it would be outdated before the years end. LOL
Also funny to note the new iPhone SE3 (2022) will not use the new spectrum.
It would be interesting to see if the TMHI tower (now only 9months old technology) will connect with 5GUC moving forward, or, if that too will remain in Mhz only mode.
Thank you for for your post !
