Re: Home internet connection keeps dropping
I realize I'm late to this topic, but we just subscribed to T-Mobile's internet service a couple of weeks ago. After about three days, I was ready to cancel because of the connection drops. I'd have to unplug the modem multiple times a day, and it was very frustrating, particularly because our local internet options are so limited and T-Mobile seemed to offer a promise of better service and price than anything of our other options. I had set up our modem in a window sill where it got the best signal. That same window sill is the resting spot for two other devices. One is a controller for some motorized window shades. The other is the base station for our SimpliSafe security system. I had placed T-Mobile modem just a couple of inches from the SimpliSafe base station. In a move of desperation, I moved the T-Mobile modem about 6 or 8 inches away from the base station. I have no idea whether it's coincidence, but we've now gone 10 days without a single disconnect. In addition, the signal strength averages one bar greater than before. The SimpliSafe system relies on a cell signal, and I can't help wondering if it was interfering with the modem's reception. All I know for sure is that that simple move seems to have solved our issue, and caused me to decide to keep the T-Mobile service. Just wanted to share my experience in case others might benefit in some way.9Visto2likes0Comentarios
