Re: Unable to use T-Mobile Home Internet with work VPN, any suggestions?

Ive been working like that, ironically the hotspot works just fine and is faster. kind of amazing. I tried that last Friday (Jan 19) and it still didn't work. I've picked up a new LTE routerfrom a local vendor, it works good at my home in Scottsdale, no VPN issues. Will be trying it out in Pine tomorrow. It's got an AT&T SIM. The router is a Cudy AC1200 if anyone is interested. It's 4G, but I don't think I wasgetting true 5G speeds from TMobile anyway. My wife and I need to do video conferencing, and we watch streaming content on just oneRoku TV, so we really don't need a ton of bandwidth. Also, I have an Ambient Weather station, and it has never connected with the TMHI. It only works on a 2.4GHz WIFI band, and as you probably know, the TMHI will only broadcast on EITHER 2.4 or 5GHz, not both like most home routers. Even on the 2.4GHz band, it wouldn't recognize the internet from the TMobile cellular network. I have a very short window to return the LTE routerif I want to go back to TMobile. But even if TM gets things fixed up by tomorrow, they may have already lost my trust. As many have said…VPN is critical for my wife and I to work from home. It's non-negotiable.45Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Unable to use T-Mobile Home Internet with work VPN, any suggestions?

Is that when you started having problems? My Ring cameras seemed to have stopped communicating with the mother ship, but Alexa appears to be up and running. I was already using the 2.4GHz band, but I didn't check the WPA settings. I'll try again next time I'm up there. I'm in a rural area (Pine, AZ) and their aren't many options, so fixing this is critical for us to WFH. My VPN connected fine (more-or-less) to company resources, but I couldn't get to Google Drive. My wife's VPN had troubles using Teams and couldn't connect to a cloud app (website) she relies on. Frustrating. 100% agree with @Homerthefoxthat it's deceptive to market this as broadband alternativewhen so many people rely on WFH.217Visto5likes0Comentarios
