Re: Thermal Issues With Home Internet Gateway/Router as a Cause of Dropped/Slow Internet or Wi-Fi Connection
The existing design of the 5g gateway alows for a 1/4 inch area at the bottom for incoming airflow. Besides adding the fan at the top, I also added 1/4 inch high self adhesive feet to the underside of the unit to double the intake flow area. Unfortunately, my gateway always runs slow so that it is unusable. T-mobile told me that they are working on my nearby tower (for three months now).Re: 0% Battery, 5G21 Gateway
Sounds like you need to return your gateway and get another one. As for battery backup, neither T-mobile nor Nokia would let me know of an UPS that actually plugs into the UPS port. I ended up buying a 12 volt 35 ampere hour battery, a battery charger and a 300 watt DC to ac invertor that will provide at least 6 hours of ac power to power my gateway, router, alarm system, Smart things hub, television and laptop computer. If power is out or longer than 6 hours, I connect a portable 100 watt solar panel. Initially, I bought this to power just the gateway for 10 hours: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HFML55/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_WNKRSA4H2RX3C8RND8ZR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1Re: TMobile Home Internet causes phones to not work

I'm not sure where you ever heard 2 bars means 4G, but that's sorely incorrect. n2itivguy, Thanks for the correction!Re: NOK 5G21 Gateway Battery Backup
Was unsuccessful in finding the price and availability of a Nokia UPS device for this gateway. Therefore, I just bought a generic battery backup on Amazon.
