Related to a firmware update they pushed out to the routers. Much of the problem he thinks is traceable to how the Dynamic IP behaves that various gaming consoles and websites don't like. The tech agreed that much of the problem might be solved if T-Mobile gave consumers Static IP options (available only to Businesses right now). Fingers crossed that they'll get a fix out soon because everything else with T-mobile internet has been great for us! I am experiencing the exact same issues with my T-Mobile home internet. While this is probably true, I have also tried playing off my cellphone hotspotand I experiencethe exact same random disconnects. 350 down and 30 up isn't worth a $1 if it's gonna disconnect every minute. Several friends and Igoing back to cable internet because of this one issue. It's a complete deal breaker. Everyone I know that is having this issue have the older grey cylinder modems. I'm guessing this is happening with all models, but just to confirm does anyone have one of the newer model towers, and are you also experiencing these issues? I am also having this issue but I have one of the newer black cube kvd21 boxes. Wish they would roll back that last update soon because this is a deal breaker for me and my kids. If they are working on it that's good news. I've seen posts around the internet that people had problems like this for a few weeks then it stopped, maybe it's related to work they are doing. If it was firmware related, I got the latest for the 5G21 back in September, and unless it was just slowly getting worse over the weeks, what I am experiencing now is nothing like back then. Does anyone with a Gray canrecall getting issues back in September when the latest firmware dropped?6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: At Home Internet
I had the service since December of last year and had no issues until recent weeks. They have stated they are aware of the problem and looking to figure out what's going on, but otherwise it's not helpful nor true to state that "all gaming is broken" as it's not even now, and previously there were essentially no issues in that regard, even compared to a cable service. It's also affecting things like Cisco VPN, so it's not just that type of problem.11Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem
Just now - joined a Halo Infinite public game - disconnected almost immediately. Waited two minutes, joined again, then had no issues. Game after that, disconnected immediately.It just doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's because something on the backend is changing IP at certain points and certain games don't like it?12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

Same for me, today my work VPN keeps dropping and yet speeds stay fine. I've had to reboot 3 times, after a reboot the VPN stays stable for 40 minutes to anhour then starts flaking out. Like you said, this is new behavior that started mid december for me. karyn67 wrote: Mister36 wrote: Hogfamkitten wrote: Is anyone experiencing their internet cutting 9ut?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one - the most annoying part about this problem is it's wildly inconsistent - I'm an IT guy and I can troubleshoot and deep dive into these things, but because I can't really do anything with what is probably the cause (my trash can) all I can do is maybe apply some workarounds. I connected my Nighthawk R5700v2 that I had before I switched over to TMHI last year december and after putting it into bridge mode and connecting my devices to the router, my work laptop issues stopped - however I'm not sure if it affected my gaming stuff, as I did time out once playing TF2 within 1-2 minutes, but then ran another session and went 20-30 without a problem. Is it caused by a certain tower/connection type? Congestion? I just can't tell. Rebooting the gateway would sometimes have no effect. Games work for a bit then fail, which means it's not just "it doesn't work", it does until something specific happens then I time out. It's not just old games either that might have poorly designed/outdatedprotocol network settings. I've seen lots of old posts that say "TMHI is not for gaming" and yes, there might be a bit more latency, butthat's worth $30 or whatever the difference was for me and using Xfinity, andI don't use consoles which were mostly the main culprit;since I started just over a year ago, I didn't have any *disconnects* and things just failing until the last 2-1.5 months. This is new and frustrating - and along with this I think my area has gotten MORE 5G ultra coverage around me too. Yeah, and it's not like the internet itself is disconnecting, either. Everything else is working perfectly fine. It's like they're specifically filtering the traffic used by certain ports. Did they just underestimate how many users they would have with an unlimited data plan? If they came right out and said it, I would pay more, I just want to be able to use what I'm paying for. It doesn't seem like congestion to me. Gaming, relatively wise, takes up very little bandwidth, (unless you count downloading CoD Warzone as "gaming" but hey I don't do that lol). They'd want to look at streaming services to cut down bandwidth...I'd hope they would know this.7Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Gaming Problem

I have the same problem, started happening within the last couple of months. For me it happens the most in Team Fortress 2, now starting in Halo Infinite (though might have always been happening there just don't play it as much) I haven't noticed it happening regularly in other games. Using the Nokia Gray Trashcan, firmware1.2201.00.032426Visto2likes0Comentarios
