Slow Home Internet

Sure, the metal screen would work just like a Faraday cage and knock out the signal. The screens on our windows are fiberglass so not an issue. Actually the router is sitting in a larger window the size of a 36" door with no screen at all so the signal comes through pretty well. Being 5.3 miles from the tower is not optimal but given it is line of sight and no obstructions is a significant bonus. I wish T-Mobile would actually build in a few trouble shooting tools in the HTML interface and improve it. With the current software the lack of advanced feature controls in the web software on a client PC/laptop is a distinct disadvantage. Third party tools are available but it would be helpful for T-Mobile support and customers to have a built in tool in the HTML software that runs some basic scripts to collect important statistics that would empower the support engineers with a collection of data that gives them answers they need about operation. It would improve customer satisfaction and help out T-Mobile support.
