5G Gateway signal boost
Is there any devices to boost the signal strength on the Gateway other than a wired outside antenna. I have tried several different locations in my home and the best I get is Good, but sometimes Weak...
Best of luck - just spoke to T-Mobile Home Internet support, and unless service (not signal) is poor, they’ll typically exchange 1:1 devices (same for same) or what’s in stock.
Metrics mean a bit on those gateways ‘for some’. Eg. 3 bars (typical indoor) gives ~300-450Mbps/10-20Mbps download for me and ‘Good’ service. 4 bars (need to have door open or outdoors) will give ‘Very good’ and typically requires RSRP better than -100dBm on LTE and SINR of better than 10.
That will give me +450/60Mbps. At times it’ll reach +600Mbps/90Mbps.
When it drops to ‘weak’, and SINR goes to ~5 with RSRP ~-105dBm or worse on LTE performance drops to ~150-250Mbps and then I might lose n41 for n71.
