Old post, but I thought I would respond with the easy solution. Just plug the gateway into the internet port of your existing router and it will use all the same settings you use now on your internal network (LAN). You will have internet throughout your network but nothing will change as far as you home network internal setup… it will remain the same. All your computers, printers, security cameras, etc. will stay the same. If you don’t currently have a router then get one. It doesn’t need to be fancy and they can be had for a very cheap price. As long as the router is configured for DHCP on the WAN ports where the internet plugs in it will just be plug and play. Very easy. Just reboot both devices after plugging in. It’s actually much easier to do than to explain and takes less than 5 minutes. I also like to use my router to provide WiFi for my devices instead of the Tmobile gateway so even the wireless devices will be on the same internal network. perfecto
Using the t-mobile home internet program, devices are having issues with and maintaining the 2.4ghz connections. App says that the 2.4 and 5 Ghz are working. Unfortunately, a Roku and tablet says they're unable to connect. The Roku connected just yesterday 😥 I've tried turning everything off and on and still can't connect. This has been an ongoing issue. The 5ghz devices work well. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Also since I'm here...does anyone have an idea on how to improve coverage in the house? Will an extender or mesh help? My gateway box is a bit further from one of the rooms and we'd like to up the signal strength if possible to that area. At the box, the signal is "good" and I've tried various spots in the house looking for "excellent" signal strength but was not successful. Thank you for any help you can provide. Wi-Fi 6
Has anyone tried separating the connections? Received the round, black 5G device yesterday. I don’t think it’s heat related because I had a connection error before I was even able to connect a device to the WiFi after setup. Then 2 more times within 12 hours of setup. I read in this forum about some people thinking that it was disconnecting when it switched between 4G and 5G so I got the idea to separate the connections on 192.168.1.1. I did that and then connected to the 5G connection only on my phone and tv. That was 24 hours ago and I have not had a disconnect yet. After 3 in 12 hours yesterday, I’m feeling optimistic so just wondering if anyone else has had any luck doing it this way. please explain how you “separated the connections”
