Well, what do i know?Overnight, the 0% download disappeared and the status bar is now 4. It has always been 3 bars. And SpeedTest is showing reasonable boost up to 260 mbps; used to hover 150-200.Let’s see how long this lasts…So my advice is to just ignore the 0%-download and let it do its thing.
Same situation here!I noticed it one morning several weeks ago and I had power-cycled the modem. Now, I see it again at 0% downloading.The display is ON all the time. This time I will leave it as is. This is the sort of stuff the users should not have to worry about.
got it. thanks!
where do i sign up for this?i did see it somewhere but now cannot see it anywhere...
hey @cazmo i think you should give it a chance if your current router can behave in router mode (which is the default mode in most routers) and not in access point mode like mine was. i say this ‘cause afterwards internet speed jumped to nearly 340 mbps depending on location. my 2-year experience with t-mo home gateway has been overall quite good. just recently when they were upgrading the tower to 5G, there were 2 weekends when the service was entirely down over 24-hr periods.good luck...
If you can get 5G at your house, you should upgrade the gateway. It’s not as simple as 1-2.3, but for my troubles, internet speed has more than doubled in my case, around 300 mbps which is quite good!
OK, that IP address, 192.168.12.1, is set in concrete.So, I changed my Orbi router to router mode; it was smart enough to assign itself a different address192.168.1.1 and it is doling out similar subnet addresses to all devices in the house. All hassle was worth it since my internet speed has doubled what it was with the LTE gateway!
Well, I will volunteer an answer:instead of not accepting gateway’s lack of router functions, I decided to turn Orbi router into that mode.Previously, it was set up as Access Point (AP) with the old LTE gateway. Orbi was smart enough to change its IP address different from the gateway since it would conflict. So, it now shows as 192.168.1.1 whereas gateway is set in concrete as 192.168.12.1. And the best news? Internet speed has at least doubled to 340 mbps.So, I’m glad to be keeping this brick after all. Just so it happens, this morning it updated itself to even LESS functions, just one page of status and no way to mess with wifi settings. T-Mo really wants things simple for themselves or is it customers? They really need to provide Advanced options for those customers that need and want it!
Wow just wow! T-Mo really crippled this piece of high-tech gear, didn’t they?Can’t change the IP address?Yes, total madness as you said. I got the gateway this pm and returning it tomorrow…I’ll try again when they make this gateway a router/gateway like the old one.
can you specify clearly how you "plugged it into my router"?i assume you used an ethernet cable but which port on the t-mo device to which port on your router?
