Re: Can't Connect HP Printer Wirelessly to 5G Home Internet Gateway
Some devices cannot connect tothe gateway's default network. You want to leave this network alone and ADD a second network with the+sign at the bottom of the Network tab in the T-Mobile Internet app. For this new network, set the band to 2.4 GHz and set the WPA version to WPA/WPA2. Try connecting your printer to this second network. Use the default network for your other devices, as much as possible. Here are the T-Mobile support instructions for how to add the second network with the app. AndroidHow to create additional Wi-Fi networks | App T-Mobile Internet | Android | T-Mobile Support iOSHow to create additional Wi-Fi networks | App T-Mobile Internet | iOS | Asistencia de T-Mobile31Visto6likes0ComentariosRe: Home internet and Samsung TV keeps disconnecting

I don't know the term "GSE internet box." But I do have TMHI and can offer some general advice. T-Mobile calls the unit a "gateway." The gateway needs to receive a strong 5G signal, but it also needs to be in a fairly central location in your house. You might need to try it in a different room. You want to keep the default network as it comes (with the exception of changing the password.)The default network supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and the highest level of security available on the gateway which isWPA2/WPA3. Most devices should work on this, as you found the first day. Your Samsung S23 should be fine with this network. (by the way, my Amazon devices work fine with this configuration.) Some Older devices (possibly your printer?) might not like the default network. So you want to ADD a second network which is 2.4 GHz and "dumbed down" security of WPA/WPA2. Use this for the devices that won't connect to the default network. Generally, 2.4 GHz reaches farther throughout the house than 5 GHz. Perhaps your kitchen is far away from the gateway and the appliances are trying to connect to the 5 GHz band of thedefault network. You couldset up a third network which is 2.4 GHz and WPA2/WPA3 security. You could have a fourth network which is 5 GHz and WPA2/WPA3, but you probably don't need it. Devices on different networks can communicate with each other. For example, mylaptop on the default network can print to my non-Wi-Fi printer which is connected via USB to my old desktop computer, which is connected to the second (2.4 GHz) network. You might need to "factory reset" the gateway to restore the original default network. This might help your issue with updates.12Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: how connect Tmobile gateway to printer

This is a common problem - but it's usually easy to fix. Here is my "stock" explanation: Some devices cannot connect tothe gateway's default network.

SO IS THAT AN OPTION OR NO?!?
First, let's clarify. 5G does not mean 5 GHz. 5G means "fifth generation" and it applies to cellular data. 5 GHz is a frequency band on your home Wi-Fi. 2.4 GHz is another frequency band. Your gateway supports both. If you can't connect your devices to the default Wi-Fi network on the gateway, you just need to add a dedicated 2.4 GHz network. Here are my generic instructions. You can have several Wi-Fi networks on the gateway. You want to leave the default network alone (2.4 & 5 GHz; WPA2/WPA3 security) and add a second, dedicated 2.4 GHz network. Add the second network with the+sign at the bottom of the Network tab in the T-Mobile Internet app on your phone. For this new network, set the band to2.4 GHzand set the WPA version toWPA/WPA2. Try connecting your devicesto this second network. Use the default network for your other devices, as much as possible.

Below is my standard write-up for how to add a network. I do think the Blink Sync Module should be able to connect to 5 GHz as well as 2.4 GHz, but 2.4 GHz generally reaches throughout the home better than 5 GHz. You might also try moving the sync module to be closer to the gateway, but of course still within good range of the cameras. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some devices cannot see or connect tothe gateway's default network.
