Re: Canon ts6020
I found instructions for entering the Wi-Fi network password in the videohere:Canon Support for PIXMA TS6020 | Canon U.S.A., Inc. (I could not link directly -- scroll down to How-To Videos under SETUP & TROUBLESHOOTING; scroll down to Manual Connect Method (Mac or Windows). To delete a second network: In the T Life App, find your Network(s) in the My Wi-Fi section of your gateway. Tap the network you want to delete. Scroll to the bottom and there is a red Delete Network button.96Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wireless Printer Set up
WPS is the push-button connection, which the T-Mobile gateways do not support. WPA is an older encryption standard, which the gateway does support, but with an additional step. This is a common problem with printers. You just need to add a second SSID for your printer. T Life Instructions Some devices, such asprinters, have trouble connecting to the gateway’s default configuration. You can have several Wi-Fi networks on the gateway. You want to leave the default network alone (2.4 & 5 GHz; WPA2/WPA3 and AES security) and add a second, dedicated 2.4 GHz network.This second network is for devices that can’t connect to the default network. Using the T Life app on your phone: Tap Connect (at the bottom). Tap Things (at the top). Tap your Gateway. Tap the magenta button Manage. Tap Network (at the top). Tap the magenta+Add Network. You should now have an “Add new network” page. Under General details, Enter a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and a password. Under Advanced settings, change the Frequency Band to2.4 GHz. Under WPA Version, change WPA Version toWPA/WPA2. The WPA Encryption Mode should automatically change toTKIP+AES. Tap Save at the bottom. Connect your device to this new network. Use the default network for your other devices, as much as possible. Note that WPA/WPA2 (on the second network)is less secure, so I recommend setting this network to be Hidden. You can hide it after you get your devices connected to it. (The Hidden switch is in Advanced settings, below WPA Encryption Mode.)

Don’t confuse your “Gs”. TMHI 5G means “fifth generation”. The gateway broadcasts Wi-Fi in your home at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. GHz means “gigahertz” which is a unit of frequency. Anyway, many devices such as your cat feeder have trouble with the gateway’s default configuration. Here is how to add a dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (SSID) for your cat feeder, and any other devices that have trouble connecting (such as a printer.)

I don’t know which model gateway is current with the base plan, but the rest of your assumption sounds correct. I think they provide more “support” with the Plus plan, for what it’s worth. if you have been able to cover your home with a single Wi-Fi router, you’ll probably be fine with the base plan/gateway. If you find you need more coverage, you can buy your own mesh.2KViews1like0CommentsRe: As of July 19 i can only send texts. No placing or receiving calls or talk-to-text feature
They might be on Facebook, also. If not, ifI were you, I would make an x account for this. I had an account problem that Customer Care couldn’t fix, after several phone calls over several weeks. T-Force on Twitter (back then) fixed it the day I contacted them. Good luck. Or, can you go into a T-Mobile or Apple store?57Views0likes0Comments
