Thanks! Yeh, a standing outdoor antenna is a target. Given we had a lightning storm just this afternoon!
How about the 5G store? ANy happiness there?
Wilson Pro 710i definitely overkill for a household!
I saw something about external antennas today athttps://www.waveform.com/a/b/guides/hotspots/t-mobile-5g-gateway-sagemcomI have no info on this, just recalled seeing it as I researched opinions on the 5688 here on the site and saw your note. If you have gotten something, let us know how it went?An Arcadyan was issued to me when I signed up with TM last December. There were performance issues lately, and after some tests TM support authorized a gateway exchange. Received a Sagemcom Fast 5688W at the local store instead. For one thing, it has an on/off button which a plus. I’m getting signal “good” as before and speedtests are ~250 mbps, also comparable to previous readings. Tower’s about 1.5 miles with a fairly clear shot.
Ah. This one’s AC1300 Archer T3U. It’s faster than what’s coming in, but really that’s ok for our usage.
Forgot to add, it’s 802.11n
144 mbps right out of the box, no issues. Good work, your suggestion was spot on.
No worries mate. This has been a worthy piece of equipment, and this is not its first encounter with obsolescence. TP-Link Nano USB WiFi Adapter for PC (Archer T3U Nano) - AC1300 2.4G/5G Dual Band on the way.
Setup never asks for authentication. It is an old box but no budget for replacement. In working through this debug the hardware has crossed my mind. I’ll be sure to reply.
Have ordered a usb adapter, delivering Wednesday.Thank you sir for the interest!
As for setting up wireless, I have tried both disabling the connection and pulling the cable - no difference.Have not attempted wireless previously.Adapter is original oem Atheros AR9285 ..Wireless USB adapter is a great suggestion, but I do not have one handy. Amazon time.
