Re: Nokia Home Internet Gateway - Issues list
I have the same gateway with same problems. Moreover: My VoIP phone does not work AT ALL. It worked fine with the TMobile LTE gateway. The Nokia seems to have a tougher firewall which does not allow SIP signals through port 5060. This may be the reason for your Wifi calls not working. The Tmobile "wifi calling" uses the SIP protocol. Just like the LTE gateway there is no Port Forwarding which creates a multitude of issues like not being able to access your security cameras, NAS etc. from the internet. Not being able to change the IP of the gateway is the smallest of its problems. Adding a "bridge mode" to these gateways would be the best solution at this point. Their router features are extremely subpar and IDK why Tmobile does this. IMHO they should stick to providing a modem only and let people use their own routers just as the cable ISPs do. Much cheaper device than this all-in-one contraption.6Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - 4G LTE vs 5G

I have a similar situation. My secondary is often not connected. I get speeds in the single digits when that happens. Really sucks. jlillard wrote: And if the secondary signal is using band n71 then it's a 5G signal, right? anything with n in front is 5G if it has b in front it's LTE see www.cellmapper.net10Visto1like0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile, Please read this! High Speed Gateway Problems!

Upgraded to the High Speed Gateway and even though my speeds and general connectivity are better, there is something seriously wrong with the Home Internet Service. Why are a lot of the settings and features that were in the original Gateway not available on the new 5G Gateway? My biggest issue is the fact that my Google Home Devices do not want to connect or stay connected once they are! I only have a Mini, Insignia speaker, Lenovo clock, Google TV, and one smart bulb. A lot of the time, the devices show connected but don't work. It takes a lot of effort to even get them all connected. I've even tried changing the security to WPA/WPA2 + TKP (SP?) as recommended for older devices that may not see your network. All my devices see the network and even connect but there is a major issue with the Gateway or Home Internet service that won't allow them to connect properly or stay connected. Very disappointed and this is a first for me feeling this way about T-Mobile. I had much better service with the old Gateway and tempted to keep it and return the new one even though I have better speeds and 5G. I might as well use my phone unlimited hotspot or my tablet which I've used as hotspot and never had issues with using my devices with it. Expected way better than this. I understand there are limitations compared to regular wifi service but not this. Basic settings and features are not enabled for some reason, yet they were on the old Gateway. That's my rant. I'll be reaching out to them but felt the need to post here and look for some help or answers. Agreed! I have also updated to the Nokia and only had problems since. The firmware is made by Tmobile and is very poor. The gateway itself is great (see: Nokia FastMile). Tmobile seems in no rush to fix the issues. Biggest problem is the lack of "bridge mode" which would allow the use of a better router. The router function of the gateway does not have port forwarding and many standard ports are closed by the firewall. So you cannot access things like security cameras and the NAS from the internet. Cannot ftp, cannot use VoIP phones. it's a sucky router. Additionally it seems to lose the 5G connection unless it is rebooted often. Some users have had better success by cooling the unit with forced air. But that is not a long term solution. The old LTE gateway worked much better. The speeds were in the 50s but constant. The Nokia gets 150Mbps at 2am and 2 Mbps during the day. No, thank you! I have a "tech ticket" open with low expectations. I will ask to go back to the LTE one.7Visto1like0Comentarios
