Re: CAN I SWAP OUT MY NOKIA FOR AN ARCADYAN 5G GATEWAY?
WOW! $25 p/m! I'm way envious of that rate, being gouged at $50😣 Kidding, actually I think T-MO is a fairly good, kinda dependable ISP at a reasonable rate. Xfinity and Verizon needed some competition IMO. Happy Easter y'all!☮5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: CAN I SWAP OUT MY NOKIA FOR AN ARCADYAN 5G GATEWAY?
Yea, I tried that Bocaboy, when my original Nokia's battery died couple of months ago. I requested an Arcadyan replacement'cause I'm a nerd. TMOsent me another Nokia. The Goodwill Arcadyan seems to be working fine for the last 12+ hours, So far so good, although I am back to 30Mbps during the day. 5G signal seems to be slow but steady 'round here, but I can't beat the price as Xfinity was $65 p/month with a data cap when I switched2 years ago. Thanks for your perspective.4Visto0likes0ComentariosCAN I SWAP OUT MY NOKIA FOR AN ARCADYAN 5G GATEWAY?
I spotted a TMO labeled Arcadyan and a TMO Nokia Router for $10 each at the local Goodwill. Both were date-coded 2022, neither had a power supply. Having a T-MO Nokia in my home system, I recognised them immediately, and bought the Arcadyan, with the understanding that I could return it if it didn't work or was not compatible with my system. After calling TMO tech support who said it might work, I put my Nokia SIM in the Arcadyan, plugged in a USB-C 30 watt supply, did a quick reset, and voila!!, I'm getting 150 Mbps download consistently over ethernet and WiFi where I was getting 30 Mbps with the Nokia. My next move is to updated the IMEIwith TMO and hopefully I can continue using theArcadyan. Comments or concerns?Solved533Visto1like5Comentarios
