5G Home Internet Continues to disconnect

I have had this device just a few days and I must reboot it about three times a day as the WIFI will fail and knock out ethernet as well. Sometime I have to reboot it twice in a row. 

When can I expect a hotfix for this issue?

I cannot afford to work like this and I will have to drop service is not fix ASAP.

I will like to also request credit on my bill until the issue is 100% resolved. 

I see several topics for the exact same issue I am having and it need to be fixed across the board!!!

    Could be an overheating problem.  Same symptoms and possible solution found in the following thread:

    I have had T-Mobile home internet for about week.  I experienced a total loss of signal to all connected devices several times a day once the unit heated up.  This started on the very first day.  I googled the issued and even though there are skeptics about the heat issue.  I bought two 120mm fans one to blow air up from the bottom and one to set on top to pull air through.  This keeps my unit cool and I have not lost internet to any of my devices since.  It has been four days now and still going strong.  This appears to have solved my problem.  Good luck for everyone else.  I just though I would share.
