Re: dual 5g internet use
Don’t forget my main reason for using two separate T-Mobile internet box’s is for additional bandwidth. That’s the only reason for using two of them. My concern is if this summer when the leaves bloom out on the trees my T-Mobile signal may degrade to unusable and am considering a Verizon 5g box if no interference is present between the T Mobile box and the Verizon box. The signal for the Verizon box comes from a different tower.Re: dual 5g internet use
COPZ1998… I do remember this though. The first speed test was this morning on box number 1.. The second speed test on the list was box number 2 last night. I did a speed test immediately on box 2 after seeing the low numbers on box 1 this morning but I didn’t let it finish so the test didn’t document albeit box 2 was bumping around 180 down.Re: dual 5g internet use
Rogracer2000 Correct. I have 2 separate T-Mobile internet boxes. One is set as T-Mobile 1 and the other T-Mobile 2. One is set to 2.4ghz the other is 5ghz. You are correct in that I cannot assign channels to either T-Mobile box. I don’t think that option is available on the Verizon box either. Sometimes I think the two T-Mobile boxes “step on” each other. The only way I can determine that is from a speed test. Sometimes one box has a considerable better speed test vs the other and vice verse. Thank youRe: dual 5g internet use
Bobcat2591….. I’m using two boxes because of a bandwidth concern. So far reliable enough and only $60 p/month for both boxes. I’m also very limited where I have an acceptable signal. The current box locations are the only locations with at least a “good” signal. This spring and summer after the leaves are in full bloomwill prove if the signal will continue to be strong enough for usability. I have considered a signal booster, not a wifi booster. I don’t completely understand the concept though and that may be the most feasible option if signal boosters actually work. My only internet options are either T Mobile or Verizon. Thank youRe: dual 5g internet use
COPZ1998……. I’m thankful for your input. I’m currently using two T Mobile 5g internet devices. One is placed in a location about 12 feet from the other. Separated by a floor. One is set on the 2.4ghz and the other is set on the 5ghz. I did seem to have issues when I first set up the internet boxes and they were on the same wi-fi bands. I have half my stuff set to one box and the other half set to the other box. So far both seem to work, albeit some occasional quirks, and I’ve been doing this for about 6 or 7 months. I’m very aware of potential issues arising from tower signal degrading in the springtime when the leaves bloom on the trees. I’m trying to prepare and/or prevent that issue from happening again. I’ve gone to the extreme of removing trees to help clear a path for the signal. Hence the potential use of a Verizon 5g internet box. The Verizon signal comes from a different tower than the T Mobile signal. So I already am aware two T Mobile 5g internet boxes will work. What I don’t know is if the T Mobile 5g internet and the Verizon 5g internet will interfere with each other. Your provided link above didn’t address my specific concern or I didn’t recognize that it did when I read the article. Thanks again!dual 5g internet use
I have access to T Mobile’s 5g home internet (which I use) and am considering adding Verizon 5g home internet. Will they interfere with each other when being used simultaneously? I assume I would have to set one up using 2.4ghz and the other at 5ghz in hopes of eliminating any interference issues. But I’m sure there’s something more to consider. Thank you!
