Re: Why cant customers who have been loyal supporters since 5G home internet service started get tye new gateway with antenna hookups.
T-Mobile response "it's too costly for everyone to dump their old gateway and exchange for new one" which in a sense is true. it also preserves their network if less people have crazy antenna hookups. I think their starting to realize they should have market this as unlimited hotspot gateway instead of home/business internet. understand fiber can pull down and send gigs of speed, 5G/4g hangs around 400-700 in excellent places n in mmWave it can do gig speed. anywho if any of you went to school for engineering specifically electrical engineering I recommend you bite down on this pain point and start working on a pcb for a modem ideas because the list of companies is growing and the list of modems capable of doing the job are still $1000+Re: 5G Gateway SSID Naming

The main reason is to keep my network running on the same router name/password so I don't need to do it manually with a new name. I'm using the app and it doesn't permit this. Does anyone know if this can be done? There is no technical restriction against having embedded spaces in SSIDs. The SSID for my home network is so named. However, what T-Mobile's software will allow you to do is a different story… Frankly, I would follow MelTX's suggestion and plug your 5G gateway into your router and use the gateway for the purpose it was intended -- a gateway -- and use a real router to set up your network. Configure your router appropriately and you should have no problems. You can probably dump T-Mobile's app completely after doing this. I've been a professional software developer for a long time… When I see or hear about horseshit like this, it's a sure sign that the exclusion of spaces in SSID names is masking some other (probably more insidious) bug that either T-Mobile or it's cut-rate contract software development company in Bangalore or Hyderabad deemed too costly to fix. Danger Will Robinson! You might be right or it could be a way to artificially push business to request their business tier routers for a surcharge. T-Mobile offers about 3-5 other gateways to businesses and enterprise customers which do allow you to do the ssid however you want including other things like band locking and port forwarding but there's issue still. T-Mobile doesn't seem to understand all we want is their new white g4ar & g4se router which has all the bands and external ports and usb c powered because no business should be using 5G for on location when fiber and starlink exist 😂 this is a portable onsite solution for mobile work, they keep pushing the false idea that this is suitable for home use when the gateway struggles with 2 devices using it at same time. -Cradlepoint E320 (✅) -Inseego FX2000 you lose a few bands that are present on home internet gateways but you get stronger internal antenna (garbage) -Another lower tier Inseego (garbage)
