Thank you.I will have to look into it.As it stands my router behaves more like a switch. The T-mobile Gateway still handles DNS and routing functions. I am still able to set other devices (PC,s and Consoles) manually to use other DNS and they work.With T-mobile DNS I have more problems like frequent disconnects so I have to set google DNS instead individually with everything. It really improved stability for me. Cloudflare also seems to be causing issues on 0.0.0.0Funny thing about the router I use Linksys EA9500 once set into bridge mode you can never log back into it unless you reset it or find the IP that was assigned to it by default after being put into bridge mode.So as it stands, with T-mobile router handling all the data and not having any advanced user options, I can not see a network map of my devices and I am unable to go back into the router settings to tinker until I find the IP T-mobile assigned to it. (unless i perform a hard reset). Luckily I had my SSID a
That's crazy, I haven't had those issues. I get about 3 bars on 5g, or 4bars if I orient it better however it's still good enough in non-ideal location where I prefer to have it. Had the unit for nearly 2 months now. I keep it in a cool spot of the house, loads of ventilation around it and with the wifi turned off on it, it doesn't heat itself as much, so less of a chance of it breaking prematurely. Internet is running pretty good. Occasional hitches still include slightly slower response time on web pages vs cable. In FPS video games it's mostly fine with occasional very brief split second lag. For streaming video is perfect, general downloads perfect again. Slower paced games also perfect. For stock trading like TWS, i have to use NORD VPN connected to Chicago (nearest to me) using UDP protocol and split tunneling so only the "Chromium" app of the TWS workstation gets tunneled otherwise the whole system would. And you're probably wondering why VPN, because without it, it simply doesn
I had loads of issues today with it.I am not getting errors from the unit itself. But when for example I even want to do a speed test. It takes a few seconds before it starts the test. With Xfinity it was almost right away.Then when using Ameritrade trading platform, sometimes it will not connect. But then with VPN it will connect.Or sometimes it will be connected and drop the connection despite me not actually losing connection. So the 5g Modem or the filters that Tmobile towers use on their back end don’t seem to be switching data fast enough.I am cancelling my service and going back to Xfinity, which is not what I wanted to do. I hope T-mobile improves over the next year or 2 and I will come back. I hate Xfinity Comcast service, they are the worst with billing, but at least the internet is reliable with them.T-mobile is so close to being perfect, if only they could eliminate the lag.Last night it wouldn’t even let me connect to streaming services for a while
Update:I am having a mostly stable experience with T-mobile WiFi by disabling all the SSID parts of the radios on all frequencies and using my own router as a network hub and wireless access point connected by wire to T-mobile gateway.There is still the brief lag at times when requesting an online page or doing some task, and it also still experiences data hanging but it does not always crash apps as a result of data taking too long to come in or having brief pauses.Last night I was playing COD Cold War Zombies on PC and I was hosting the party, no problems at all. I only played for about 2 hours thou.I guess I have to keep in mind I am saving money compared to cable and overall the internet mostly works fine. I have downloaded about 400gb the first week without any throttling, so that’s good too.Most of my apps work fine. Those that don’t are niche cases. Like for whatever reason Amazon prime video works okay unless I start a second prime video stream on the same network.Some sites an
I use my LG V6 for internt on my computer and tv access… you do tethering and mobile hot spot and connect with a USB for computer. For tv or anything else look for the name that is given as your connection ex: LGV6 #### ‘s . Hope this helps someone Debra Thx for the tip but that isn’t really relevant here. But appreciated anyways.
First thanks in your sincere efforts to help the original post? As that was who I was trying to help. I can and do have all my wifi radios runs turned off in the Nokia Gray Tower. I dont know what photos you are showing me, maybe you have an older firmware? The first photo you have posted is what my page looks like and programed exactly as written on page 27 of the manual that I posted a link too. I have the SSIDs and “Broadcast” turned off “Disabled” on all three radios. 2.5, low 5 and high 5. I have a Motorola AC 2600n router connected via Ethernet to the Nokia Router/Modem and is where all my wireless devices connect through. There are no SSIDs showing up as an option for the Nokia Tower in my home. I can turn them on and off at will, in fact I used the quite capable built in Nokia router for a good week or two on the 2.5, low5 and high 5 then turned them off and use the Motorola Router exclusively now. Its all clear in the manual as well, page 27, disable SSID and Broadcast.
Sorry to hear you have issues with the 5G modem part, “alarmguy”. Perhaps try a PC fan under your internet gateway to keep it cool.I have included pictures to show how the 5Ghz WiFi part of the gateway can not be fully turned off in case there is a firmware update to fix this, which we have to do manually as far as I can tell since it asks for an update file to be uploaded through the PC, and there is nowhere currently where we can get that file.I think T-mobile will be shooting themselves in the foot if they think the average home owner will not run into problems. The main issue I had last night was an average home owner issue.Amazon prime video kept lagging out and running extremely slow or have extremely slow time to respond to request like downloading video thumbnails or loading into videos on both PS4 and on FireTvStick.I gave up on it actually. With Xfinity we never had this issue.What was weird is that after I closed out of Amazon Prime video from PS4 and from FireTv stick, I ju
