INTERNET
WHEN A DEVICE THAT USES WIFI DERIVED FROM THE TMOBILE 5G INTERNET SAYS IT WILL ONLY WORK AT 2.4GHZ??? DOES THAT MEAN IT WONT WORK WITH THE TMOBILE INTERNET UNIT?
To be clear: The “5G” in the Internet service, and the 2.4/5 GHz of your wifi devices refer to two very different things.
“5G” internet refers to it being the “fifth” generation of high-speed data communications. The 2.4/5 GHz (notice the different suffix) refers to the frequency used by your devices to connect to your T-Mobile gateway. From what I have seen, older devices use the 2.4 GHz frequency, whereas newer devices take advantage of 5 GHz. To answer your specific question, yes, your 2.4 GHz devices should work fine with the T-Mobile gateway.
