Re: Poor Internet speed and not reliabity
I'm about a month in with T-Mobile home Internet and my service is terrible, I was on the wait-list for a couple of years and finally got an email stating service was available for my address. I can't get any 5G signal, stays on B12 and the highest speed I've seen is 25 mbs but usually 15-2 is normal. I've wasted 300.00 on an external antenna which has amazing reviews but didn't work out for me. The crazy part is I have AT&T phone service my phone is always on 5G with a RSRP -112 and always get 25 mbs and higher. I do have the gateway with the external antenna ports, get very good signal but just not reliable service. I don't need much just a reliable signal to ditch DirecTV.9Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: External Antenna

The RSRP shows "Fair" getting close to the range "Poor" S/B around -89 or more to be excellent. Like - 81 or -80. Your SINR is 8.1 where as mine is 27. RSQR is "good" range. I got these numbers here.https://powerfulsignal.com/support/knowledgebase/awareness/whats-the-difference-between-cell-signal-strength-and-cell-signal-quality/ Thanks for the link. I'm at a loss on to keep trying or give up.9Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: External Antenna

I don't know who you directed the question to but I can't get a 5G connection even though the coverage map shows my address in 5G extended. Oh sorry I was directing to you. So you're not getting 5G connection at all. Only LTE? Yes.26Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: External Antenna
I placed the Gateway in the attic beside a vent pointing towards the tower, nothing but screen and some vinyl between it and outside not much change in speed. I can't get any higher. I don't mind spending time and money on an antenna if it works. I've been watching a lot of NaterTater videos but he has a decent signal to start with. This is what I'm working with.17Visto0likes0ComentariosAntena externa
I just got T-Mobile home Internet and the service is slow, I'm only getting 2-10 mbs download and 1-4 mbs upload. My house is around 1.5 miles from the tower and the Gateway only shows 4G, will an external antenna help me? I don't mind trying it but I don't want to want to waste my time and money on something that won't work. I do have the newest Gateway with external antenna ports.
