Arcadyan gateway: am I connected to 5G or LTE?
I have the Arcadyan internet gateway. Using the T-mobile Internet app (iOs), in the “advanced cellular metrics” section, I see tabs for both LTE and 5G. Both tabs have SINR, BAND, etc info. Does this...
There is an indicator at the top left corner on the home page (connection status) of the LCD display on the gateway box itself. It is not available through the App.
@tinker....thx, I do have a tmo phone. It shows I’m connected with LTE, and connected to the same cellid tower as my gateway. I do see that the 5G tab is ‘empty’ sometimes on the gateway app (advanced cell metrics).
My download speeds increase by ~2x (~10mbs => ~20mbs) when the 5G data shows up on the app, but it’s not always there. I’m wondering if I should try an external antenna, but I’m not excited about possibly damaging the gateway when opening it up. I hear it’s a $400 fee.
