Semi-Complicated Network

I got onto the T-Mobile home internet router solution in the BETA phase early in 2021 so my hardware is maybe an earlier revision of the router. I am on software version 1.2103.00.0338 currently. I found playing with the location of the router is really important. If you use a laptop with a hardware to a LAN port and keep the router plugged into a long extension cord you can move it around and see the strength of the signals in the web-gui much better than via the generic bars on the top of the router. Take the time to tune it into the 5G cellular signal. I know it will be the secondary signal but try to get the maximum power out of the 5G signal. Rotate the router clockwise and counter clockwise in 5 to 10 degree increments to improve the signal wash over the 5G antennas. I improved the 5G signal ay -5 DBM just by rotating the can and moving to get the best cellular signal. Don't assume anything with that baby. The wireless and cellular antennas are alternating about the radius of the can just under the shell. You want to get good SNR signal to noise ratio. More positive is better with SNR. The lower negative RSRP value is better. i.e. -70 dB vs -100 dB. If you get the router in a location where the SNR improves and can also get improved RSRP values then you will have a cleaner transmission and better performance.
