Iphone hotspot not connecting
I signed up for unlimited data and a personal hotspot with T- mobile for my Iphone11, for a second home that has no internet. I woulduse it only about 8 days a month to stream TV on a single device. So far it has connected 1 of 10 times after multiple trials. My son has Verizon hotspot and an Android phone and can connect instantly every single time, exact same location. Why won't it connect?
I purchased Jextream and want to use it in Spain - does it work there?
I will be traveling to Spain and in the past all of the tmobile hotspots worked without problem. However, when Tmobile introduced the T10 devices they no longer worked when traveling in EU so I'm trying to get good info on if the Jextream will work.
Hotspot device disconnecting from T-mo internet
Recently purchased a T-mobile branded 5G hotspot, Model D53. Gets consistent 5g signal but it loses its ability to connect / relay internet traffic after about 30 - 40 minutes. Then I have to restart the device to get it to begin allowing network connections again. So far I've reset the SIM card, reset the device to factory, both with no changes in the functionality. Anyone seen similar issues and resolved them?
Hotspot Usage when Not using Hotspot | Tidal running slow
I wanted to share my experience in case others are facing a similar issue: I received a new Samsung S24 in February. Since then, I've been receiving notifications about exceeding my hotspot data usage, even though the hotspot is turned off. This seemed strange. I reported this to T-Mobile support, but they kept pointing to their system showing I was using hotspot data and advised me to turn it off. Additionally, I use Tidal for music streaming. Recently, I've been unable to stream music using mobile data as it was extremely slow or wouldn't load at all. Today, after receiving another hotspot usage message (indicating I exceeded the 5GB cap without using the hotspot), I noticed my Tidal streaming stopped working on mobile data this billing cycle. I checked my phone's data usage, and it showed Tidal had used over 5GB of mobile data-the exact amount as the hotspot data cap. It seems T-Mobile's system was misreporting Tidal's mobile data usage as hotspot data. I tried explaining this to support, but they didn't acknowledge it. They reset the network connection to my phone, which seemed to resolve the issue. I suspect this problem might be related to T-Mobile's "Music Freedom" feature included in my plan, which is supposed to prioritize or differently handle music streaming traffic.
can't use ssh connections when i'm using the hotspot
whenever i connect my laptop to my phone's mobile hotspot, i can never get these to work: ssh connection to my AWS environment running apt-get update / yum updates on my Ubuntu distro embedded in my Windows 10 laptop installing anything via Mac Terminal on my Macbook Pro, such as RVM / NVM / wget calls / telnet calls, etc the most common error i get in all the above use-cases is some variant of a "Network is unreachable" error message anyone else run into this issue? These issues defeat the point of paying for mobile hotspot since i have to be able to actually work using the hotspot : )
MOBILE HOTSPOT VS HOME INTERNET
Why is my mobile hotspot speeds way faster than my home internet speeds? i need the antenna my phone uses in my home internet box lol! My phone is always on 5g but my home internet grabs at the 4g signal im guessing because its stronger? is there anyway i can make it connect to the 5g one everytime? when it does connect to the 5g signal (and the connection bars are maybe 2-4 bars, never full) it gets amazing speeds (100+ mbps down 60+ up) but when its connected to the 4g (full bars) its so freaking slow. Can anyone help? My phone is literally sitting beside the modem picking up 50+ mbps while the modem is barely geting 4 mbps. (of course unless it connects to the 5g network then its fine)
