With reference to my post above, I stopped resetting the router after drops. Made no difference. Same rate of disconnects, always short. Just annoying.Tried Verizon 5G yesterday. Very poor performance. Bad enough that I did not try monitoring for drops. Taking it back today.
Here is a record of drops over the last two weeks. I reset the router at each event.Not promising.Date Time 03/18/23 03:50:00 03/18/23 10:49:00 03/19/23 05:32:00 03/19/23 08:01:00 03/19/23 08:28:00 03/20/23 00:52:00 03/20/23 07:35:00 03/20/23 15:02:00 03/20/23 22:03:00 03/21/23 01:41:00 03/21/23 18:53:00 03/25/23 13:34:00 03/25/23 18:21:00 03/25/23 18:34:00 03/26/23 06:55:00 03/26/23 12:57:00 03/27/23 15:36:00 03/29/23 09:10:00 03/29/23 15:20:00 03/29/23 15:28:00 03/29/23 20:09:00 03/31/23 05:49:00
The T-Mobile MODEM appears to be a “beta” product. I have consistent 4 bars signal, and yet experience frequent failures. Because a power off/on restart always fixes the problem, I don’t think it is network related. I bought an MSNSwitch from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/MSNSwitch-Internet-Enabled-Remote-Switch/dp/B081TKJJBS) and installed it between the MODEM and its power outlet. Not cheap at about $100. I set the switch to restart the MODEM every day at 1:00AM. That did not seem to help. I’ll probably remove that step. However, the ethernet connected MSNSwitch also power resets the MODEM when it sees the internet drop. That’s its real strength. The reset sequence takes about 5 minutes. The switch also emails me after the reset when it catches a drop. That creates a log of events in my mail box. The switch is complicated to setup, but customer service is good. And, we can share setup info if we wish. I think this will do until T gets the MODEM fixed.
