5G speeds on wifi, but 4g speeds on ethernet
Hi, Got t mobile home 5g about 2 weeks ago. During the first week, speeds were fantastic, 650 down 40 up, on band n41. Afterthat first week, the router rebooted itself on its own and when it came back I had a new ip, but the speed was still the same. I was curious as to if you get assigned a new ip every time you reboot, so I did it again and confirmed you do get a new ip. This time when I checked the speed after rebooting it manually, I dropped to 150 down 30 up (band b66). Tried rebooting it a few times and couldn't get back on the good speed band (probably due to the location but I cba to move it around). Keep in mind this is all being done on my computer that's connected with ethernet. The weird part is, when I connect up to the router via my phone's wifi, I'm still getting 650 down and 40up. It's literally just the ethernet that drops the speed and uses the b66 band while my phone still is using the n41, which makes very little sense to me since they are both connected to the same router. Seen quite a few topics and posts with people discussing how their router is not able to be locked onto a particular band and figured I would share my experience and would also note that putting in that feature of band locking would be greatly appreciated by everyone.
ban band2
Can tech support please block my router from attempting to use Band 2? This official hardware for T-Mobile Home Internet doesn't give much power to the end user. Bands 12, 71, and n71 are all great, but whenever it tries to use Band 2 the performance goes to abysmal, it hardly works in the slightest, yet it will stay connected to Band 2 for dozens of minutes attempting to use it before switching to a band that truly works. I usually restart my router when this happens but I'm getting annoyed with the necessity of restarting it, when it is only ever the same issue, Band 2 does not work at this address. When it first turns on it always connects to Band 12 just fyi. I have mentioned in this post all of the bands that I have noticed it using, that doesn't mean that sometimes when it was doing fine that I didn't notice other bands being used.
