Re: Slow Home internet
We were having inconsistent connectivity to 5g for a few weeks. Called and was told they're "upgrading" the towers. Comes back for a while, then it's back to 4g. The 4g isn't bad, but we're subscribed to 5g service. Strangely when I ignore the direction they tell me to aim my gateway I get 3x the speed, even with only good connectivity. Think there's a 5g tower further away that always has a 5g signal. Bottom line...move your gateway around the house. You'll be surprised.86Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: tmobile gateway router
Forget about the internal router, it's garbage. I have a decent seperate tplink router and it smokes what the gateway can do. Worth noting that you should also move the gateway all over the house in order to find the "sweet spot". I had it in front of a window aimed in the direction of the tower and got decent (200+ down, 15 up) speeds with ho hum pings (40 to 50). Moved it to another bedroom, aiming it slightly away from where the app directed me and through a wall. Download speeds tripled, uploads quadrupled and my ping is below 30 consistently. Was thinking about buying an external antenna. Why bother?24Visto1like0Comentarios
