Re: Wi-Fi extenders for the T-Mobile gateway
I bought some new Samson phones from Costco's T-Mobile kiosk and asked about their Internet service since I was planning on changing providers due to frequent, minor interruptions in service. The two salesmen assured me that T-Mobile provided great service to their families which had multiple TVs and gaming use, etc. The overall set up of the Internet was easy except for having to relearn how to re-hook up some devices like my garage-porch light. However, as expected, the far reach of the house was a bit weak, and my existing TPLink extender didn't pick up the new wifi signal. After more than two days of REPEATED, MULTIPLE attempts to set up the TP Link AC220 (as I recollect) with the T-Mobile Internet, I was finally able to get it to work. But there was a failure to explain steps in simple ways though an independent webpage did a better job of explaining some steps. I tried and retried so many steps it's hard to remember all the ways that failed and kept failing, but finally using an ethernet connection was the way I got the extender to connect (though I had to manually add the 5 Ghz line). In short, after several days of frustration, the system is set up and is very stable and works great in sending wifi into the opposite end of the house. So, I'm very pleased with the results, but deeply frustrated at how difficult it was to set up. I was surprised at the webpage's offers to contact TP Link for assistance, and after I got the system up and running, I got several emails from TP Link, so I'm pleased and surprised at how accessible they are and willing to help.8Visto0likes0Comentarios
