Re: NOK5G21 Home Internet Gateway Not Working Properly

The 5G has been turned on from the very start. Anyone saying its turned off just doesn't know what they are talking about. Now if 5G is enabled in your area is a different story. But Tmobile already has a massive 5g footprint and that combined with the Sprint footprint its a huge area of the US that is covered in some form of 5G. Now its worth mentioning there are many different layers of 5G. You have a layer of 5G that was more made for distance by losing some speed (10+ miles easily). You have a layer that is the short range super speed 5G (just a few miles). Then you have the step up from 4G LTE 5G that provides a 2x to 3x speed boost with medium range in there. I live out in the middle of nowhere rural america where we have a population of like 50 people out where. The entire area is bathed in tmobile 5G n71 signal. Easily 50+ mbps. The nokia (grey trashcan) modem will pickup b2 (4g) for upload and secondary up n71 (5g) for the download side of things. This makes for good download speeds that the b2 just can't offer on its on in our area.5Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: NOK5G21 Home Internet Gateway Not Working Properly
Sadly there is nothing you or they can do. The modems hardware and the tower are making the decision on what to connect you to. The only thing that can be done is you can move the modem around your area and see if you can find a spot it likes. Other then that there is nothing that can be done.7Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Significant Drop off in home internet speed

You are free to select another service provider that can meet your needs and expectations. While that's good in theory, not so good in practice since my only options are T Mobile, satellite internet and AT&T DSL at 10 mbps max. This wouldn't be such an issue except they talked me into leaving AT&T where I had 18mpbs and a discounted rate, with promises of at least 50 mbps,both of which are no longer available to me per my conversation with AT&T the other day. There is no grantee or promise of any speed at all. If someone promised you a set min speed you where just lied to. As per the TMHI open internet agreement the 5G Network (Wireless Home Internet): Download Speeds: Typically between 37 - 110 Mbps Upload Speeds: Typically between 8 - 24 Mbps Latency: Typically between 21 - 35 ms 4G LTE Network (Wireless Home Internet): Download Speeds: Typically between 30 - 115 Mbps Upload Speeds: Typically between 6 - 23 Mbps Latency: Typically between 26 - 45 ms Now what it seems like to me is they are doing work on the tower you are on. This can generally take from a few days to upwards of a month depending on what is being done to the tower in question. Even more so seems like that if you had 5g secondary connection before and now you do not. Points to work being done on the 5g antennas and possibly a replacement from n71 antennas to n41 antennas. But it is worth noteing that there is no min speed. You could get 500 kbps as a download speed if the tower in question is overloaded. If you need a min speed then your best bet is to look somewhere else because as TMHI becomes more popular and more sells are made speed will decrease overall with the aboves being the "targeted average" they want to target in the end game.3Visto1like0Comentarios
