Re: 5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed. There are too many internet disconnections.
Accessing the TMO gateway via the browser (192.168.12.1), go to Network --> WiFi Networks --> 2.4GHz. From there, disable the SSID and disable the broadcast options. Click Save. Repeat these steps for every SSID in the 2.4GHz drop down list. Do the same for the 5GHz SSID list. After you do the steps above, go to Statistics - WLAN, it should say there: 2.4GHz WLAN Connection Disabled 5GHz WLAN Connection DisabledRe: 5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed.

Might not be an option for you but you may want to try turning off the built-in WiFi router in the T-Mobile Gateway. Try using an external WiFi router connected to the T-Mobile Gateway via ethernet cable. From what I read on these forums, the built-in WiFi router in the T-Mobile Gateway isn't as good / reliable as an external dedicated WiFi router. Not only does it raise the operating temp of the T-Mobile Gateway, but it also has issues with poor WiFi routing performance (i.e. disconnects, weak WiFi signal, etc.).Re: Home Internet Overheating
I just went the passive cooling route of elevating the trashcan from the shelf surface it sits on. My gaming laptops also gets hot when sitting squarely on top of adesk. A cooling technique for gaming laptops that get real hot, is just to raise the back of the gaming laptop to provide more airflow. With this thought in mind, I just put the trashcan on top of a steel yakitori mesh grill that is raised ~1.5" on both sides by two wooden blocks. This, aside from turning off the trashcan's built-in WiFi, has resulted in lower temps for me. YMMV.Re: Devices
How many devices can I connect to T-Mobile home internet? 64 devices Customers can connect up to64 devicesto their home Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi 6 also provides Muti-user MIMO, which creates more capacity as more users connect, improving individual speeds when many devices are accessing Wi-Fi.

Any issues on network speed by rolling back the firmware? No need to rollback. Update to the latest 1609 version instead. Yes, called Tmobile and updated my firmware to .1609 and Global VPN works now. But I do notice that my speed is reduced whenconnected to the Global VPN, downloadspeed reduces by a factor 2x and upload speed reduces by a factor of 10x. So when working on my remote desktop through VPN connection it is choppy/laggy. Hoping this is a temporary issue hate to switch back to spectrum as Tmobile is faster and cheaper. Most VPNs adds overhead to the internet connection that usually slows down your internet speed throughput. Maybe ask your work if they can enable split-tunneling for their VPN? That might help with the internet speed throughput reduction with VPN.
