I had suffered from frequent dropped signals for months. The worst example was last weekend when I was unable to watch a live wrestling show on the Peacock internet network. I gave up after struggling for 12 hours.
I ordered an Ethernet cable and connected it between my router and my smart TV. Then I reset the TV to factory settings. Now the TV has excellent performance. I’ve also connected my computer to the router with another Ethernet cable.
It appears the wi-fi strength on the T-Mobile router is very weak.
