Home Internet Gateway WiFi Channel
I have theT-Mobile Home Internet Gateway (aka 5G Gateway) based on the Sagemcom chipset. Model: Sagemcom FAST5688W Firmware:SGJi10205-1.2.B4 It keeps selecting the most congested WiFi channel in our condo, it's very strange. Can I use the "Nater-Tater" config file approach (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3ZhGYEl2I) to change the WiFi config, similar to the Arcadyan KVD21 that Nate uses? Thank you in advance.
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?
