Re: Effects of excess heat and 5-G connectivity/reliability
I was told when I inquired that a T-Mobile 5-G tower was a mere 1.5 miles from my address. It is true that there are line-of-sight issues where I live and that may contribute to my connectivity problems. This “issue” was not an issue when we first signed up and set-up our “Gateway” only manifesting at the outset of high temperature summer weather.68Views0likes0CommentsEffects of excess heat and 5-G connectivity/reliability
With what Google searches I have done, it seems millimeter wave technology not only generates lots of heat, it has a tendency to be negatively affected by high ambient temperatures. The result for me this summer is spotty and intermittent connectivity. The Gateway is already in the highest window at our house. Has anyone else encountered this phenomenon? There is plenty of summer heat ahead, it would be nice if there is something that can be done to improve this situation.527Views0likes9Comments
