Re: Modem Choice
Rickssmith wrote: When is Tmobile going to offer either Arcadyan TMO G4SA or Sercomm TMO G4SE to customers who need an external antenna to access their nearest Tower. I am located about 2 miles from the nearest Tower but have some Tall trees line of sight to tower. When the wind blows the foliage right, I get 150 to 250 mbps downloads. I get frequently disconnected and have to reconnect home automation and entertainment devices. I am willing to buy a Waveform antenna if Tmobile will provide a compatable modem. Just asked about the new modem with the antenna ports on twitter and this is the response I got. I don't think they even know "Great question. I don't see them currently, but not to worry as our range of 5G Gateways share identical key features and provide a consistent user experience."2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Anyone fed-up with horrible coverage from TMobile
Try their 5g home internet. Mine looses the signal as the day goes on.Guarenteed by 2pmest I'll be at the blazing fast speed of 1.0mps. When I called,they said it was a problem with the firmware in the moden that ran fine up until 2 weeks ago, They overnighted a new modem(I have a feeling it was refurbished as it didn't come with a power cable). Plugged that one in and it started to turn itself off and back on for what seemed like every 15 minutes. I was on the phone with customer service and the tech support for at least an hour and a half on friday. They wanted to send out another modem until I asked if this one could be returned to the store where I signed up at. When they said yes,first thing saturday morning I was there. They gave me a different make. Plugged it in and so sooner as the afternoon hit,The internet slowed to a crawl. Did the tap dance of moving the modem to different parts of the house and ended up with it back in the spot where the original was. I went on twitter and posted the speeds I was getting and got someone from tech support who claims they have a fix for my problem,but can't do anything until wensday. Unreal. If I stop payment on my bill,they'll shut my service down,But they can give crap service and you get to take it and wait. Now I see their new modems have a hook up for and external antenna that you can purchase for a mere $99. I have a sneaking suspision thats the fix that's going to be coming through on Wensday.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: Internet

The first sagemcon I picked up at the T-Mobile store when I signed up last Feb.It ran fine until a couple of weeks ago. Had I known I could have just gone to the store and exchanged it the other day,I would have gone that route.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Internet
Ok,took the newSagemcom back to the store this time. They gave me new Arcadyan kvd21. Put the old sim card in it and it seems to be working fine. A couple of questions I have with the one that got shipped. It wasn't wrapped in the box with any type of protective cover and it didn't come with a power cord. It seemed like after connecting it up that it might have been a refurbished unit. The box itself had a green dot on the lid.The Arcadyan came wrapped in a peice of plastic and with a power supply. If their shipping refurbished units,they should let you know. After this,I think any problems and the equipment goes streight back to the store instead of getting it replaced via online.3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Internet

The old one didn't,this new one gets warm,then shuts down. Trying to watch Hulu and it keeps buffering and shutting off. It's like having dsl or dialup again.5Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Internet
Got the new modem yesterday. This one is just as bad. The difference between the 2 are the new one shuts down and restarts about every 15 minutes. They did get it to me fast. I'm going to return this one directly to the store and see if they will give me a new one.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Internet

Supposedly a global issue with the modem/router. Their replacing the old set up for free.I would suguest going that route on the main account page. Which gateway model do you have?
