Re: INTERNET
To be clear: The "5G" in the Internet service, and the 2.4/5 GHz of your wifi devices refer to two very different things. "5G" internet refers to it being the "fifth" generation of high-speed data communications. The 2.4/5 GHz (notice the different suffix) refers to the frequency used by your devices to connect to your T-Mobile gateway. From what I have seen, older devices use the 2.4 GHz frequency, whereas newer devices take advantage of 5 GHz. To answer your specific question, yes, your 2.4 GHz devices should work fine with the T-Mobile gateway.9Visto0likes0ComentariosMy Gateway is showing 0% battery
My Nokia gateway is showing 0% battery and it's been showing it for several days now. It had been fluctuating from the single-digits up to mid-80, but now it's all the way down to zero. I know that the battery doesn't have that much of an impact on the gateway's operation, but i am wondering if it's a symptom of a larger issue, and whether my unit needs to be replaced. To be clear, the unit works OK without any apparent issues so far; just the annoying 0% battery level in the display. I am using a small power strip to power it and that has another device (a Google Mini) attached to it. Could it be the cause of this issue? Nokia gateway, hardware version 3TG00739AABA, firmware version 1.2103.00.0338Re: Latest Gateway Firmware Discussion
My gateway was upgraded (without any notification, mind you) to 1.2103.00.0338 a few weeks ago. No major issues with the internet service per se, but now the Home Internet app fails to show the list of devices attached to the network. I know my way around computers and can find workarounds, but this can be a big annoyance for most average users.16Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Internet Gateway DHCP/DNS Address Settings
First of all, make sure IPv6 in all your devices. T-Mobile uses an IPv6-only network, and this is the preferred way to connect to sites that are IPv6-enabled. This includes most public sites like FB, Google, etc. Let the computer do IPv6 autoconfiguration. You can switch your computer's DNS to OpenDNS, but do make sure that you use OpenDNS' servers for both IPv4 and IPv6. The instructions on their website should tell you how to do it. I use Cloudflare's DNS service for all my desktop computers and I haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!112Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Wifi extenders
Eddy wrote: Okay. I have Google Home connected to my T-Mobile Gateway. Also, connected to my Google Home are two mini nests, both are in upstair's bedrooms. One of the Google minis keeps disconnecting from the wifi. What would be the best solution to keep it connected? A wifi extender? I would first rule out a malfunctioning device (since you say that the issue is happening to just one of your Minis). Try placing the misbehaving Mini closer to the gateway, and see if you are still experiencing disconnections. Next, see if switching with the other device gives you the same result. Also, is there a chance that you can change the location of the gateway? In my case, putting it in one of the bedrooms that is closer to the center of our house makes a huge difference in signal quality and reach.12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Vax mandate
Good luck taking your business to a company that shares your views. AT&T requires its unionized employees to be vaccinated: https://about.att.com/story/2021/att_covid_19_vaccine.html Verizon requires its non-union employees to be vaccinated: https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/verizon-requires-covid-vaccines-for-non-union-employees If anything, T-Mobile actually resisted vaccine mandates, until now.24Visto2likes0ComentariosT-Mobile Home Internet app no longer lists connected devices
