T-Mobile 5G router
I'm new with this 5G stuff, so my question is the router supposed to be on all the time and is the screen supposed to be lit up all the time ?
I have recently changed over to T-Mobile Home WiFi. The gateway they supplied is an Arcadyan KVD21 5G Gateway. First, once you are set up and have your Internet running, you should NOT turn off your gateway. That’s why there is no power switch on the unit. The only way to cycle the power is to unplug the cable from the rear of the unit and you shouldn’t do it unless you're having some sort of a problem.
The unit’s display goes off after a minute or so. As iTinkeralot remarked, the front screen on the KVD21 has limited information. Virtually everything the unit displays is available in the app, and more. So yes, the front screen should go off unless you specifically press one of the front buttons to view it.
