Re: Connected, No Internet

If“intermittent” than it will connect some times than it will decide to not to. This will not ever happen. The T-Mobile Router has a sim card and gives off a different signal, some devices will connect and some will not. You won’t have a device that connects some of the time and other times no. That is a signal issue. Attached is an inexpensive router from Amazon ,https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-MU-MIMO-Dual-Band-Internet-Providers/dp/B0BQX395D1/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2L7B08TAQ3DCI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Nok0yJVI5JQrHH3ioK6vwmW0p57kY3Ahcop6uhNaZ7UtvkvSBV_kykVDGkkW_YbhqOfqED0SK5087Acm5401kU17mNltwE0a2Wgg3aH6uqCjPNJmW0m592fqNAmYMPIGSYApuBKuo81M5EBC6hmu4oYTxeqFXnev-HOSzuqtaA_Vp5kod740O2z9b0435X7DUCyFio928m7LKumx4OJS3tw3YRMsjGU4nvT9Ab7WMEQ.qspPArzWV9d2saqCrHDF4W06KrlqfWAopw8jCWSppco&dib_tag=se&keywords=cheap+routers&qid=1726408577&sprefix=cheap+routers%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-4 Plug this into the back and your router will work like a router should. If you don’t like it, it is returnable. I have an Orbi Router connected to my T-Mobile Router. This is inaccurate. The issue of getting a connection but not connecting to the Internet has nothing to do with it being 4/5G home Internet from a SIM card. It's also not the router. See my post above from probably a year ago. This is something on T-Mobiles end. Could be a tower, could be the line itself. Without somebody actually from T-Mobile looking into it, it's impossible to tell.2Views0likes0CommentsRe: Connected, No Internet
This issue has nothing to do with the router or any devices. I know this because I used (still do as secondary) a T-Mobile MVNO and started having this exact issue a few months ago, and it's happening more frequently now. I just got Home Internet a couple weeks ago... same issue popped up. Everything looks connected, but no Internet. The only thing that seemed to fix it with the MVNO was to have them request a line reset with T-Mobile. Love the speed when it works but this is insane that this issue is happening.10Views0likes0Comments
