Physically Securing Gateway - "K Slot"
Why is there know “K-slot” like is present on every laptop sold available on the newest “FAST 5688W” Gateway? First there is no connection for an external antenna and then no way to secure it if you place it outside your home (I know weather issues). I cannot get above 4G LTE in my house yet on my screened in porch, I can get 5G. I have placed it in the window inside my home that looks out onto this porch, but still only 4G LTE. I have a place on my porch where it would stay out of the weather (rain/sun), but I have no way to secure it from theft out there. Humidity is an issue too, but if they don’t want to provide an external antenna jacks for a MIMO antenna and no way to secure it, I am running out of options to get decent signal.39Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sagemcom Home Internet Gateway - access Admin Settings
Thank you for your response, but you are not understanding me correctly. I have no problems getting into the T-Mobile App to configure the gateway. What I am looking for is where you can enter the Admin Login (“Admin”) and the Admin Password that is on the label on the gateway. I am NOT talking about the SSID name and the wireless password. Like most routers or gateways, there are typically administration level settings and configurations that you get into by using this Admin login and password. Why do they put it on the router if you are never prompted by the app or the browser menu to enter it.105Views0likes0CommentsSagemcom Home Internet Gateway - access Admin Settings
I can connect to the Gateway via the T-Mobile app and by using the 192.168.12.1 address in a browser on a PC connected to the gateway wirelessly. I am not seeing anywhere in either programs where to enter the login “Admin” and then the password on the label of the back of the gateway. I figured with most wireless router, using the Admin login will allow me to view more technical settings and details on the gateway. I called T-Mobile Support and this is not a typical “techy” question they were able to answer. Since I was connected and had adjusted my SSID name and password, they could not understand why I needed (wanted?) to see more settings.Solved1.8KViews0likes4Comments
