Re: tmobile home internet speed issues
Fredreed wrote: I would probably give the service a month and remember this it is a new Internet service and It is a mobile home Internet Service so I wouldn't judge this as a poor service because I hardly think that it is. I have to totally disagree. Nothing here is "new" at all. 5G has been out for a few years now and using wireless cell service for home internet has been around long before that. And TM has been doing this for quite some time now. The only thing going on here is that TM over promised without having the network, knowledge or the capabilities to actually back up those promises. Has the service marginally gotten better over the past couple months? Depending on where you live that might actually be a yes. For many that could also be a resounding no. But regardless of if things have improved we shouldn't have to wait months for things that were promised on day one.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: High-Speed Internet Gateway will not lock to 5G speeds (5G21)
Hi All, As of right now, it is almost impossible that I know of to always lock in the 5G signal. I have though had this service for a few months now and with my experience working in IT for my local city, I have been able to figure out a few things to help get the best signal you can more times than not. I've actually written quite a bit so instead of redoing it all again here I am just going to link the other post below. https://community.t-mobile.com/tv-home-internet-7/new-to-tmobile-internet-questions-about-devices-signal-logging-into-gateway-page-358701Ver1like0ComentariosRe: Latest Gateway Firmware Discussion
That sounds like a vpn issue to me. I use Express vpn at times and you do see some of a dip but that's normal with a VPN. But what you're describing doesn't sound normal at all so I would suggest possibly maybe trying another VPN or checking your settings in Nord. The one thing I am curious about though is you mentioned that your firmware is on 0178 correct? If that's the case how did your device upgrade? Did it do it itself or did you have to do something? I'm still showing .0168 for my firmware version.8Visto1like0ComentariosRe: When will 'advanced' features for the new gateway be available?
Celtic945 wrote: the fact I can bring the hotspot with me anywhere I go if I want. Ummm, you might want to read the TOS that you signed. You cant take your modem everywhere with you, actually says pretty clearly that you can't and it's against the TOS. The reason why is that if people are just moving their modem all over town there is no way for TM to be able to know what kinda traffic to expect on what towers. So, yea, you might want to be careful with moving from one address to another as that could result in penalties. Uses a fixed wireless device (provided for use in a fixed location) at a location or address other than the one provided at activation.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Found a Workaround for Co-Op/Online PC Gaming

Again, I get where you are coming from, I know this doesn't solve ALL THE ISSUES. But that's not really on us to do, is it? TM is the one that needs to take responsibility andfix their half-baked service, not their customers. One last time, this is just a fix for all the PC gamers trying to play games.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: tmobile home internet speed issues
Not sure why some of you are getting those speeds, I think the lowest I go most of the time is around 150ish but I avg 450+. Try this though. Connect to the router using the web-based GUI athttp://192.168.12.1/. Check to see what you are getting for the secondary signal cause that is the 5Gone. If you aren't receiving any signal there or it's super low then most likely you are only hitting 4Gtowers which are nowhere near as fast.8Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Found a Workaround for Co-Op/Online PC Gaming

The trick is whether those sites are in a good location solatency doesn't go off the rails, and whether the reduced MTU and processing overhead take too much of a hit on throughput. I totally get that and agree. I am just letting you know the one that seems to be working the best with an actual test on T-Mobiles network. As for putting the VPN on the router itself unless they bought their ownNokia, I wouldn't suggest messing around with the one thatT-Mobile sends out unless they are cool possibly bricking it and paying what, $300, that T-Mobile says it will cost to replace it. You gotta remember, a lot of these scripts are not officially supported or tested on a multitude of devices and it's always the user's risk to try it out. All I know is that after testing out 3 of the best well-known VPNs around for gaming, Surfshark is the one that is working all the time on every game I've thrown at it so far. Sure all the VPNs I tested ( Surfshark, Nord, and Express) all support P2P but not all of them work equally as well. Latency hasn't been a big issue so far. I got a few extra ms but even on twitch\reflex games like League of Legends and FPS shooters like Outriders and Remnant: From the Ashes, it has all been very playable and really no huge hit. I work in IT, and I thought I would just try and save some other gamers the time and money and find something that works until TM fixes their mess.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Found a Workaround for Co-Op/Online PC Gaming

If you aren't using it on the router, be mindful of per device limits. Some do that whole Netflix/Hulu thing where they track and limit how many devices can connect at once on a standard account. If you are trying to protect phones and such too, this could become an issue for a large family. My issue is with paramount+, HBOmax, and CW we have a ton of buffering and are unable to even load and watch them. I am however on the white box (the new box is coming tomorrow or Tuesday) we do live in a 5g area (so shocked about that one). I am wondering if we should get a VPN or if we should in fact get some sort of WiFi extender? These are being played from Fire 4k stick. The WiFI is actually up high and close to our main Fire stick. Any advice would be appreciated. I am the tech of the house and I am great at putting things together making sure we have all the right connections and I never have issues. The issue I have is understanding the words and such. I am a step above the thingy plugs into that whatcha ma call it. 😂 So when explaining or any suggestions ease go easy on the tech talk. 😂. Thank you all in advance. P.S. I love Tmobile internet when it is playing Netflix and/or Hulu. Try the VPN first. I know that before I got the VPN I was having issues with Twitch and a few other sites were buffering all the time for no reason and now it runs smooth as butter so that may help with your issues as well. That and almost all of them have a 30-day guarantee to test them out.4Visto1like0Comentarios
