Re: Download speed
Similar story here, I am in densely populated metro area on East coast, T-Mobile said they rolled out 5G home internet signal here so I pulled the trigger and got their 5G gateway device (Nokia). But I'm in a condo building which faces away from a major street which shows it has 5G signal-- so the best connection I can get anywhere around the interior is 3 of 5 bars, it settled on Band 12, and using "speed test" on Google it gets around 25MB/sec down and around 5MB/sec up with a ping in the 30ms range. So basically I'm paying for 5G service but only getting 4G actual…..still, it does perform equally to the existing service I had, thru Cox internet. I also connected mine to my existing setup which is a router to its WAN ethernet, and turned off all the Nokia's 2.5G and 5G wifi broadcasts (12 in total!) I had to use the pulldown menu in the web GUI on each, select them individually to turn off broadcasting. They need to do some serious redesign of their GUI to make stuff like changing those settings a LOT easier. Prior to turning off the wifi, I could only manage 2 of 5 bars for the gateway incoming signal-- since turning them all off, it's solid 3 of 5.5Visto1like0Comentarios
