Re: 5G home internet keeps dropping

I spent 3 hours today mostly on the phone installing a replacement gateway, switching out 3 SIM cards and 2 gateways. My LTE phone is consistently showing 18-30 Mb/s DL. I’m 1.5 Km from my assigned tower. Gateway has 4 bars of signal. Primary is 4 bars, secondary 3 bars.5Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did T-mobile willfully lie to me about it's home internet service?

Possibly for your region it currently is. As stated earlier, they go out in waves, usually in the middle of the night to limit the impact of all the rebooting required. So it always takes time for firmware updates to reach all subscribers. I’ll call them again and ask them specifically about the firmware that you posted.5Views0likes0CommentsRe: tmobile home internet speed issues

Connect to the router using the web-based GUI athttp://192.168.12.1/. Check to see what you are getting for the secondary signal cause that is the 5Gone. If you aren’t receiving any signal there or it's super low then most likely you are only hitting 4Gtowers which are nowhere near as fast. Both my primary & secondary signals are 4 bars. My speeds are still anywhere from <1 to <10 Mb/s excepr for brief moments of 15-25 Mb/s. Terrible service full of broken promises and lies. Back on 6/17 is when my problems began and I was ‘assured that engineering was addressing the problem’ & that the “modernization would soon be done”. More than two months later, that has been complete bulsh!t.2Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did T-mobile willfully lie to me about it's home internet service?

Today beatall… The internet crashed, not my router, not the gateway, but completely down. Later it was up, sort of. I’m typing on a computer that is hardwired directly to the gateway. After rebooting the gateway several times the service is so slow that I can’t even access speedtest.net. It took forever for the browser to connect.6Views0likes0CommentsRe: Did T-mobile willfully lie to me about it's home internet service?

It won't go out to everyone at once, but in stages, so it may take a while for it to get to everybody. IDK if they would be able to pushto you more directly or not, but wouldn't hurt to ask ifyou get through to support again. My firmware ends with 0178. Logging into the router, the firmware reads ‘up to date”.17Views0likes0Comments
