Re: Cannot get a secondary signal
I think they are playing with tower signals to gateway. I getstrong n71 secondary signal then lately it drops completely with0 bars for a half day then comes back again 5 bars. The interesting thing is my cell phone getsthe n71 signal WHEN THERE IS NONE ON THE GATEWAY. So it is nota signal problem. Tmobile must be able to kill the specific band to the gateways.27Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed. There are too many internet disconnections.
Sorry for all the mispells. 4 days without disconnect then one tuesday AM. This could be tmobile rebooting theirsystem. Problem is you have to reboot the router (it does not auto connect to internet even though wifi and cell signals are good)and if not home you can not do this remotely. Supposedly tmobile may be able to do this remotely. Went 7 days before that without disconnect.16Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 2.4 Ghz Signal Keeps Dropping
Hi. I called hulu and they asked for my ? IP address that you getfrom IP chicken? site and that fixed it. Even after reboots it seems to be holding. Huluonly permits one home locationbe used unless on a mobile device so tech was able to allow traffic from the router(even though the router gives out a different home location then my actual home location). By the way Tmobile has upfront indicated that this could be a problem with July. Interestingly this is not a problem with YouTube TV etc so July must handle location Info differently.24Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - Sudden consistent signal degradation
B2 (primary) and n41 or n71(secondary). Tmobile is constantly changing towers signals etc because of rolling out sprint 5g towers. If there is a sudden change in signal a tower change might have caused it. Try rebooting to see if there is a different tower to go off or moving the router to see if you can pick up another tower. Fortunately the lowest signal I get here is 2 bar and the router switchable to another available band available.38Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Frequent Disconnection on 5G Home Internet
Hi. Around super bowl I had one disconnect a day. Streaming froze up once. It was stable for 5 days without disconnect. Able do a littlestreaming without problems. No buffering. Not a problem to reboot the router once a week. As you found I doubt any of what you tries was the problem. More likely this is how Tmobile is handling traffic off of there servers. When it does disconnect the wifi signal and lye and 5g signals are good (2 -3 bars) but there is no data coming in. This is a problem if not home as can not reboot the router remotely only if at home on wifi. I believe Tmobile can reboot the router remotely however as some have said. Right now things are fairly stable. There was a firmware update recently that may have helped??? Also remember that Tmobile can reduce speeds if you use more than 50-100 FBI per month. This might be effecting your ability to stream at a high rate.12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Restart router daily?
Hi. Stable for 5-6 days without reboot. I am not sure if regularly rebooting the router would help as the cause of this is unclear. Eg could it just be Tmobile rebooting its servers. If it happens once a week that's not the end of the world. If away the idea of auto rebooting say once a day might help especially ifyou are away for more than a day. I also have read that Tmobile might be able to remotely reboot your router at lease one person here said they were able to do that for him.13Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - 4G LTE vs 5G
Good discussion. 2ndary pops between N41 and N71. 2ndary always better than B2 but on N41 its close. Speeds super when on N42.eg 400 with downloads more variable 10-30. When on N71 speeds food eg around 200. T-Mobile is adding sprint towers etc so there is likely to be changes to signal in an area over time with a lot of expansion NY 2023? Frequency is signal important here as sprint is faster nut not penetrate as much and more likely to be affected by interference. So distance from tower, frequency, interference all are factors and specific to an individual. It does seem that they are using the secondary signal in my case. Its the same for my cell. It is my understanding the cell can use all bands in a "layer cake" type association but not sure if this is the case with home internet. The only problem I have had is the data coming down is interrupted despite strong wifi connection. Only rebooting corrects this completely. I can reboot by being on the wifi on the modem and going into the app to reboot. This seemed to happen once or twice day butnow ?? less. What is causing this to happen is unclear. Would not be able to reboot if away from home which would be a problem but have read that Tmobile tech can do this remotely if you push them but have not confirmed this. Otherwise the internet seems to work quite well on my many device setup.29Visto0likes0Comentarios
