Re: How to read received texts with T-mobile home internet
My own NOKIA gateway had problems displaying messages. The most recent message seemedto be at the top of a non-scrollable list --- so it was not accessible. I eventually used my phone to send a SMSmessage to the DUMMY-number of the gateway.That newmessage seemed to cause the message-list to scroll-down. That exposed the message containing the PIN-number. {{{ I realize this is an OLD topic but perhaps this procedure may be helpful for others? }}}26Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: T-mobile gateway with seperate router
First, I'llcommend JSAVGA for beginning this discussion --- this topic should prove valuable for new users. I am using a similar setup --- in MY case with a similar ASUS router and Windows 7. I have hadtwo TM gateways--- the gray-round one and (eventually) the black-square one. Each gateway was directly wired to my RT-N66W router and allmy numerous connections were immediately available. I donot use AP mode…my router continues to use the default "router" mode. I have not experienced any problems with this setup after 1.5 years. BUT, please let me know if there is a potential danger.45Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Arcadyan KVD21 Gateway vs. Nokia
I used the Nokia model for about 5 months. The signal strength varied wildly but was workable for me --- although the unit seemed to have problems displaying notification-messages. I received anArcadyan replacement model about 4 weeks ago. The Arcadyan MAY beslightly slower…perhaps 10% to 20% but that is only mygut-feeling. My SPEEDTEST measurements are affected by far too many variables. At any rate despite theArcadyan speed-variations, it is essentially "workable".13Visto1like0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile Tuesdays for Home Internet
BUT…your gateway may be placed in an awkward location in order to maximize the signal strength. If so, accessing it to read the promo-code may be tedious. I've experienced this problem for several instancesof "Tuesdays", but have not found a good solution. Ideally, it should be possible to have an alternate means of receiving the code…perhaps via email or a text to an alternate phone? The current scheme is not user-friendly.20Visto1like0Comentarios
