Re: Home Internet Gateway Needs Reboot Multiple Times Daily, Internet Access Dropping
I just cancelled my service today after 9 months. Service is not ready for wider usage yet. There are many factors which effect the final outcome. Weak signal , load on tower, N41 vs N71 tower type. There are few lucky one who gets 400+Mbps but others get25-10 Mbps. Total $50 for 10 Mbps is not a good deal. I don't need much speed but for $50 it should be minimum 100 MBPS or if someone getting lower speed (because t-mobile towers are busy), then it should be lower monthly fee.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - 4G LTE vs 5G
You are getting good speed. enjoy it. I think concept of primary and secondary is confusing but I feel when secondary is available, it is always using secondary and speed on secondary is changing based on the throttling logic and it is based on load on tower. For me primary is B2 and secondary mostly N71. Sometimes I get N41 which gives me 200 mbps but it does not stay of N41 and most of time falls back to N71. Now at night time , I get 80-110 mbps but at day time it falls 11-18 mbps on N71. I don't need much speedbut what I don't like that the day time throttling is giving less then what is promised (min 25 mbps) and I know it is throttling because at night time without changing any position of device, it starts giving 80-110 mbps.3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - 4G LTE vs 5G
It is not about 2 bar vs 3 bar. I am on intersection of N41and N71. N41 only get 2 bar but speed is 200mbps and N71 get 3 bar but get 17mbps - 25 mbps. Because N71 is more strong , it is staying on N71 most of time and sometime it switch to N41. Trying to find out how to keep on N41. Looked N41 location and direction on cellmapper.net and placed router at the best place but still goes back and forth between N71 and N41. I know primary always stays on B22 (4G) but secondary switch makes diff so I assume it actually used secondary signal.3Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: TMobile Home internet
This is a new technology so it hasa new challenge. I got my device week before and I was getting just 25-30mbps. I started digging into it and found that it is connecting B2 on primary but n71 on secondary. I used cellmapper.net and found that I am actually on intersection of two towers, one with n71 and second with n41 and noticed that it is switching two towers time by time and when it is connected to n41 , then I get 120 - 130 mbps download speed which is really good. I tried to position gateway. At the same spot , if I place , then I get only n71 only but if I rotate 180 degree at the same spot, then I get n71 and n41 and it stays on n41 but once a while it switch back to n71 and then I have to reboot the device (without changing position) to switch back to n41. I wish it stays on n41 forever. so looks like if you are on n41, then will get good speed. n71 will give low speed but still within t-mobile promise of average speed. Also advice to new users that right after first startup , you may get very low speed (like I had 14mbps) and that is because after first startup, it takes ~2 hours (as per tech support) to fully provision to get higher speed.1Ver0likes0Comentarios
