Re: How to find out when tower upgrades are done
PhantomPilot wrote: I have been told that the 5G towers in my area are being upgraded but is there a way to check the progress? I have T-Mobile home internet and am waiting on them to be finished to see if I am going to keep the service. Right now I get between 20mb and 40mb on a good day. That's really not that bad you can watch a 4k movie with those speeds I had the lte gateway and I had to reboot it every day sometimes multiple times a day to get speeds above 10-15 I ended up calling and after a few calls with tech support they sent me a 5G gateway and now I'm getting 80-150 I saw it once I saw lt at just over 200 be patient. I would have been happy with the lte gateway with the speeds you are getting.15Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: How to use High-Speed Internet Gateway with Existing Router
Eric Terrell wrote: @shaneg79@syaoranIf I put my Netgear Nighthawk router in AP mode, will I still be able to have it host USB drives accessible in Windows? I also have a network printer connected to one of the Netgear's ethernet ports, and have assigned a static IP address in the router config. Will that continue to work in AP mode? Thanks! If you put it in AP mode you can still use the usb ready share on the nighthawk router if that's what you're asking. That option is not disabled in AP mode, I know because I have a 2 TB seagate drive that I connected to mine. Not sure about the static Ip addresses since the T-Mobile router would be the one handing out the ip addresses probably won't work just have to try it. Also I have no issues logging into the router like the above person stated you just need the ip addresses that the T-Mobile Gateway gives to your netgear router and then it will prompt for username and password. Not sure why the other person was having issues logging into theirs.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: How to use High-Speed Internet Gateway with Existing Router

I've read that it's possible to use this device with an existing router. Can anyone point me to instructions for doing so? I want to do this as my router (NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 Wi-Fi Router) allows me to use an external USB hard drive as a NAS, which is very convenient. If you're netgear has AP mode put it in that mode it will prevent double nat since the T-Mobile Gateway will provide the local ip addresses then turn off the wifi on the T-Mobile highspeed gateway so you don't have interference from the T-Mobile wifi with the highspeed gateway you have to disable all ssid's in order to completely turn off the T-Mobile wifi. I have a netgear nighthawk router too that I use with my service and no double nat problems! Hope this helps!7Visto1like0Comentarios
