I got my T-Mobile gateway yesterday. It only was available in my area starting last week. After the setup, I connected an eero 6+ router. Both eero pods I have instantly worked with the gateway. My Lenovo desktop instantly worked fine with it, too, but I had to do additional signing in and such to get my Sony TV, T-Mobile cell phone and Fire HD 10 to access the internet. Now today, everything is working but my Lenovo. The computer shows it is connected to my network and the internet. Both the Edge browser and Chrome browser do instantly click in. However, no websites will click in with Chrome at all. It’s not even trying to go to a website. With the Edge, it sometimes very, very slowly reaches the website, but nothing works on that website. (All speed tests done with the eero have shown 240ish download speeds with the T-Mobile gateway. That is way faster than Cox, but it’s the Cox Arris modem I am using as I type this.)Any quick fixes to this problem?Since going online many y
From your experience, which wireless outdoor security cameras with floodlights work well with T-Mobile internet and which do not? I know from my own experience, using an indoor Panasonic window camera, that T-Mobile internet does not work as well as Cox did. When I access the camera videos on my cell phone with the Panasonic Homehawk app, it always shows I am remotely connecting, even though I am at home, and the video playback in very slow. Thus, I don’t want additional problems with the outdoor wireless camera I get. Plus, I prefer to get a camera without a subscription, if that makes a difference.
Okay, I just hooked up my T-Mobile gateway, which is the tower one. After downloading the T-Mobile Internet app and setting it all up, using the ridiculously long passwords on the back of the gateway, I connected my eero 6+ to one of the ethernet ports. Everything is working fine. My download speed went from 181 to 241! BUT it shows I am connected to my usual Wi-Fi network name and not the T-Mobile one. I can’t connect to the T-Mobile one because it says the password I type in is wrong. So, how did the name and password of the network stay the same? Was it because of the eero? If so, why is there now also showing a secure T-Mobile network on my network lists that I can’t connect to? I have a Cox modem for landline and internet, but I disconnected the eero from the Cox modem and, as I said, it is now connected to the T-Mobile tower. And it must be T-Mobile I’m using, since Cox has never been above 181Mbps.
Until last night, I had totally forgotten the $50 prepaid Mastercard promotion, after getting the Echo 8 Show some time ago. Fortunately, I had the promotions page bookmarked. I went back there and the $50 promotion had a redeem button. Clicked it and there was the card info. I wonder if I can apply it to my T-Mobile bill next month. Anyone try that?
I can no longer use my state’s lottery website on my desktop since getting T-Mobile internet. Not when using Chrome or the Edge browser. (The desktop has Windows 10.) They can no longer detect I am in my state. Nothing I tried fixes the problem. Yet I can use the website on my cell phone, which has T-Mobile. Why can the website detect my state location on my phone and not on my computer?
I’ve had internet connection problems occasionally in the past, but have had none in weeks. Now, however, I am having periods of really slow speed, like downloads of 2-4 mbps! My speed is usually over a hundred, often 200 something and sometimes 300+. When the speed is so slow, I notice on my gateway screen that my connection is “very good”, instead of the usual “good”, and it’s showing 4G in the top left corner, when it has always shown 5G before the slow speeds started. The speed will pick up again after so many hours. What’s possibly going on here?
This post is just for information if anyone else starts having problem with streaming on their smart TV. I have a Sony Bravia and occasionally have problems streaming, due to T-Mobile internet not connecting or due to my speeds being too low. It only occasionally happens, but when it does, the apps will either say there is no internet connection, or will do nothing but buffer forever, or not start at all. Sometimes an app, such as Peacock, will not start period, when all others do. That is a problem with the app, and I go to the settings on the Sony, go to the specific app, clear the cache, and then choose “open”. Once or twice that did not work and I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. That made it work.This weekend, I could not stream anywhere because all the apps either would not open, or a black screen would appear, or the app would open and then freeze. It was very unlike when I have problems with T-Mobile internet. Since I am on the east coast and we did have som
If I get T-Mobile internet, can I connect their gateway to an eero 6+ router? If so, is there any trick to that?
