Arcadyan vs. Sagemcom to replace Nokia
I have the Nokia 5G21, and it's been more than satisfactory. Usually close to 100 mbps down, and 20-30 mbps up. The biggest complaint has been occasional signal drops.I have a Eero 6 mesh wifi, and I run a double NAT--almost everything runs through the Eero first. On the Nokia there are 12 wifi bands, and I can turn them all off. Lately it's been locking up a few times a dayand I've had to reboot it to get back online. I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they'll replace it under warrantee. But it sounds like my local store has only the Sagemcom and the Arcadyan. Or I might be able to get a Nokia shipped. My first priority is not to loose any signal strength or quality. Which device is more likely to be able to reproduce the service we currently have? We connect to B66 and n41 bands, and all three devices say they connect to those. But the sagemcom lists many more bands than the Arcadyanor Nokiawhich might be better/stronger than what we're currently getting? Other priorities: Can I turn off the wifi broadcast through the web GUI or app, as I can with the Nokia? Or will either mesh with a dual bandEero 6? Still no bridge mode, right?

Why did my Nokia gateway stop receiving 5G signals?
My Nokia home internet gateway has been working well since I got it last year. I usually get 2 bars of 4G signal and 2-3 bars of 5G signal. And my speeds vary throughout the day, but are generally around 50-75mbit during peak hours and over 100mbit during off-peak hours. This week my Nokia gateway stopped receiving any 5G signal. I've rebooted many times, but it doesn't connect to any 5G towers. As a result, my speeds have fallen dramatically. My peak speeds are now in the single digits and my off-peak speeds are usually around 25mbit. My gateway hasn't moved. I spent days finding the perfect location that provided the highest SNR for 5G. Is there something wrong with my gateway? How do I get my 5G signal back?
