Re: Reboot Tmobile Gateway when I'm Out of Town
If you are only concerned about rebooting when the internet connection drops, plug it into a Keep Connect. It will power cycle the gateway whenever it detects a dropped internet connection. https://www.amazon.com/Connect-Monitors-Connectivity-Required-Necessary/dp/B07MCRQPCS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3W0F353TP0YIY&keywords=keep+connect+router+wi-fi+reset+device&qid=1650303482&sprefix=keep+conn%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-36Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5G home internet keeps dropping
I was having internet disconnects at least once a day. Purchased a WiFireset device called Keep Connect. It pings Google I think on a regular basis and if it detects the internet is down it will power reset whatever is plugged into it. It will also email/text you every time it happens. For some strange reason I’ve only had it reset once in the last month since I installed it. Obviously its not a solution for the problem, but its a decent band aid.4Views1like0CommentsRe: Cannot access my Gateway at 192.168.12.1
No, different SSID on the router. Devices on the gateway can’t see devices connected to the router and vice versa. I could accomplish the same thing by using a guest network on the router but I get marginally faster speeds connected to the gateway and since I really don’t want to go to the trouble of completely shutting off the Wifi on the gateway this approach seems simpler. Also not a gamer and no port forwarding, so the double NAT thing doesn’t seem to pose a problem. That is of course until someone like yourself who very likely knows more about this than I do comes along and points out to me that I’m wrong. Sure wouldn’t be the first time. To the OP, sorry for hijacking your thread. Hopefully your PC is attached to a router and all you need to do is switch to the gateway’s 191.168.12.xx network and you should have access. If you don’t have a router attached to the gateway I’m at a loss as to where that other network is coming from.7Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cannot access my Gateway at 192.168.12.1
I have a router plugged into my gateway. My 2 main computers, my printer and NAS are connected to the router. All other devices, cameras, streaming devices, phones, tablets, TVs etc are connected to the gateway. In my mind that separates the computers and NAS (which I don’t stream from) from all the devices I don’t really trust. I have a third computer which I rarely turn on whichconnects to the gateway should I ever need to access anything else including the gateway GUI. Seems to work fine for me.7Views0likes0Comments
