Re: 5G Home Internet nightly slow down
New T-Mobile Home internet customer that has just replaced my ATT 4G equivalent due to T-Mobile's unlimited 5G cap for the same price. I am 3 miles from my closest tower but have my 5G antenna on a 60' tower pointed at the T-Mobile tower. I'm out in the boonies when I'm using this setup. I get 4 out of 5 bars but I'm getting only 6 MB down and 20MB up. Idon't really need blazing fast speeds for my applications. The upload speed is fine for me but the down speed is terrible. I am waiting on a new WaveForm 4x4 MIMO antenna to place at 60' to see if that will help but I was positivethat I should get better than this even whileonly using ANT1 (or ANT3) of the 4 antenna ports on my white T-Mobile hotspot box (G4AR?). I'm even using LMR400 (not RG58) coax due to the terrible signal attenuation of RG58at 6GHz. I see some folks complaining about ONLY getting 100MB down… Heck, I'd LOVE to see 100MB down. I may have to go back to ATT 4G and live with the 100GB cap if I can't get this figured out. I'd also love to catch the same tech that ChefZiggy mentioned in his post.2Visto0likes0ComentariosExternal Antenna Connections on TMO-G4AR
I need an external antenna 60' high for my current ATT hotspot and want to use it for my new TMO-G4AR which I hope can replace the ATT box. The T-Mobile instruction manual does not give any detail about the 4 external antenna connectors on the TMO-G4AR other than how to connect it to their own 4 connector antenna. Which 1 or 2 connectors should I use? I was using 2 on my ATT box. Is there any explanation of what the 4 external connections do? Gracias,Solved287Visto0likes2Comentarios
