Slow 4G connection only, but only sometimes -- SOLVED
I've had the T mobile home internet 5G gateway for 6 days now and it has been generally thrilling to get such high speeds after being stuck on a single-digit overpriced DSL connection for 9 years. I ...
Tim… thank you for sharing your insights in your post! I have been having a similar issue and your post is the only thing I found that directly addresses the problem. You are a scholar and a gentleman!
In my case, my secondary signal drops from time to time. When that happens my connection is basically useless. At that point, I run a continuous ping [ping www.google.com -t] and see ping spikes that always look the same. They build up over 4 pings and then drop back down. Something like this:
ping 1: 78ms
ping 2: 245ms
ping 3: 679 ms
ping 4: 1084 ms
ping 5: 84 ms
ping 6: 455 ms
ping 7: 872 ms
ping 8: timed out
After a while, magically, the signal will stabilize and reconnect on the secondary signal and all my pings are sub 100ms.
What I don't understand is why the secondary signal drops, at all. Why not just stay connected?
Any insights on that?
Thanks again!!
