Re: how to improve signal and speed on home internet¿

Meanwhile I watched every video on the net and I called T-Mobile and was transferredto a T-Mobile engineer, he told me the "can" doesn't like being in a window or direct sunlight, keep it away. My kitchen has 2 windows and putting it higher was the game changer. If you have a tall piece of furniture in your living room or dining room give it a try. It just may be perfect or close. Yea it sitting on a shelf about 6ft high! I'm going to have to try something! It's frustrating and I know I'm just jealous but seeing those with 200 down man it gets to me!Re: how to improve signal and speed on home internet¿

So don't worry about the bars try to figure out where the 4G tower is and the 5G tower is and then get a spot where you improvethose Primary reading without making the secoday any worse. Example my home the 5G tower is 3 miles SW where the 4G tower is .5 miles W. To make matters worse there is a slower 5G tower only 2 miles NW. So my goal was to lock onto the faster 5G to the SW get on the 4G to the W good and totally avoid the 5G to the NW. Not an easy task but I did find a spot that did the trick. You can also call TMHI tech and just ask where the towers are what bands they have they will give you the addresses. Then use Google maps to plot the best angles to your home so you get an ideal of the best spots to test. BTW with that n71 depending on how far it is the most you can hope for is 200+ down as that is where those towers max out normally. But still that's better than what you are getting you just need to work on those reading and get some improvement. the LTE and 5G tower are the same. its roughly 3 to 5 miles away
