We received the new 5G modem for Home Internet and are on the older firmware version 1.2003.03.0143.
Is there anyway to trigger the update?
I've heard the new update can greatly speed up the modem but don't know if that's true.

Contact tech support. They should be able to push a firmware update to it for you.
I have firmware 1.2003.03.0178 and it seems unreliable. It constantly drops connection and I have to reset the device via the admin page.
New customer since 9/1/2021
My Internet Gateway has firmware 1.2101.00.1609 installed.
I'm a bit disappointed with the spotty connectivity, slow DNS, and buffering on 4K Ultra HDR video streaming testing. I opened a complaint ticket with the cellular engineers ( via 844-275-9310 ), and I was informed that my tower is still awaiting a 5G upgrade. That doesn't match with the promotional flyer in the mail. 😟 The guy I talked with on the phone was able to confirm the relative direction of the tower, so I do have it located in the best-facing window of the home. I have to say that the service and attention provided on that call were superb. ( It may have helped that he recognized my experience in wireless and LAN networking ).
I'm not sure how well that little appliance functions as a DNS server, but it is probably an extra useless hop. So, I manually changed my DNS server setting on the laptop to Google's 8.8.8.8, and that helped improve name resolution times quite a bit.
I was told recently by a T-Engineer to get the latest update, power off your tower for 30 minutes. After that time power the gateway back up. The gateway will automatically look for an update, if available it will down load it and install.

What do you think the latest firmware version is?
Yesterday, I received and installed the new 5G gateway, 5G21-12W-A.
Where can I find the latest firmware version?

Reboot or Factory Reset may work. Mine updated over night and now there is packet loss. I have no 5G so B66 is the only band I’m connected to but never have experienced packet loss till this update.
We’ve had ours since late Feb. It’s on 1.2003.03.0168, but I can’t remember if I did the manual update or if it happened after a reboot.

I have been told they would have it by Wednesday, April 27, 2021, but the information I have received from Customer Service has not proved to be reliable. I bought the Line-Link for VOIP and it took me several phone calls before someone told me it would not connect to 5 G.
I have been unable to get into the settings on my Gateway - how do you know what firmware you have?
Well today isn't over yet, so there is still hope for the upgrade. As for accessing your gateway, from a PC or MAC go to. 192.168.12.1. You should see the overview page. On the very right side is Software Version. The current version is 1.2003.03.0168. So we want to see a higher number for the new version that gets released. Otherwise you can use the Home Internet App on your phone and at the bottom (android version) click on MORE and then click on GATEWAY INFORMATION. The FIRMWARE VERSION is the first thing listed.

That’s noteworthy.
Can you take some screenshots of the web interface so we can compare and see what if anything has been updated?
I am still on 0143 myself. A member, Stefan Knight, of the TMobile Home Internet FB group just received his 5G modem and posted his firmware version. Here’s a link to the group in case you’re not familiar with them. You may have to join to view the threads.
I did a factory reset and now I have 1.2101.00.1609

I started getting the packet loss when I got .0178 never was on .0168.
That’s a Speedtest from inside my Asus router…
I just tried it…. didn’t work for me.
Thank you for the info - I see that now. I have been trying to look at the system part of the gateway and it asks for a log-on. I use “admin” and the password on the bottom of the gateway, but it won’t let me log in and doesn’t give an option for help.
Should I be able to log into that?
Maybe you changed the password at some point? You can do a reset by pressing the button on the back of the unit but then you would have to do any setup you have done previously again. Doing the login gives you the ability to change the ssid name and passwords , etc .
Contact tech support. They should be able to push a firmware update to it for you.
I tried that, they said they cannot push the update.. and it should be “completed” by 8/26.
It’s 8/26.
No firmware update.
Thanks for the info - very helpful.
I received my High Speed Gateway ten days ago. It has firmware version 1.2003.03.0178.
The LAN ports are active. I have an Orbi Router connected to one port in Access Point mode, and an 8 port switch connected to the other.
