Let me start by saying I do like having wireless internet. The problem is I don’t think it is ready for primetime. Speed is great, price is great, but It loses its connection to the internet about once every two days. It’s sad. I have spoken with T-Mobile many times. They have updated my firmware and done other things (I have no idea what they change there), and they tell me that these changes will fix all the problems. Sure! I am getting close to asking them to replace my Gateway to see if that helps. Has anyone had a replacement and found that helped?
5G Home Internet T-Mobile Gateway needs to be fixed. There are too many internet disconnections.

Um, I’ve spent hours trying to “work things out” and I’m fully aware how to try and fix issues. T-Mobile couldn’t even fix the issues. So T-Mobile home internet doesn’t work. I’m going with a different internet provider that actually works and I don’t have to spend ALL of my free time on the phone with customer support.
Probably where you went wrong you only worked with tech support. I researched my towers used google maps many things I have tons of post with my quest. I am happy to save over $150 per month it was worth it.
If you want me to agree with you that calling support is not going to get everything fixed I agree they don't know everything and some things they cannot suggest.
You can go to the Facebook groupT-mobile Home Internet and here and find many happy customers.
It’s unfair to say it does not work. Sure it does not work for you ok and you can afford to pay 3 times as much again ok some of us cannot.
Best of luck to you with your new provider.
When I call into TM support, they have me unplug to reboot and think that’s going to solve the problem. They have sent me 3 different gateways and it seems to be getting worse with seven reboots today.
I don’t care wether you agree with me or not. You don’t know what I’ve done and you really shouldn’t be assuming you know more than I do as far as what I’ve been through. T-Mobile internet doesn’t work and there’s plenty of complaints about their service. And I’m paying the same price for my new internet as I was paying for T-mobile internet, and it works. So for you to assume I’m paying three times the amount as t-mobile internet is an ignorant assumption. Because you’re WRONG. But it sounds like you don’t like being wrong, you just like assuming something you know nothing about.

Aren't you gone now no longer a customer why are you here?
Why do you care? Why are you taking this personal? Move on. Why are you here? You’re taking this so personal as if you work for T-mobile. T-mobile is garbage, and that’s my personal experience. I have a right to voice my experience. Telling me I will pay three times as much is total BS. You know NOTHING about what I’m paying. For everyone having issues with T-mobile, I’m having the same issues. Get a internet provider that is reliable, because T-mobile is garbage.

The T-Mobile Home Internet is completely DISASTROUS. The internet drops like 5 to 6 times a day. My partner and I both work from home and this is starting to get really annoying. And when the internet is down, I also can’t even use my hotspot. At this point, we are definitely looking into quitting the service. We’re on our 3rd modem tower from them and the issues keep coming back. This has been an ongoing issue for at least the last 3 months. No one is able to help, We’re both in IT so you can easily assume we have tried EVERY troubleshooting method. We’re switching back to SPECTRUM. I don’t want to support their services but at least they’re better by far in the reliability of their service.
I don’t blame you, I’ve switched to a cable service provider for the same price as T-mobile was charging me. T-mobile internet is DISASTROUS and they cannot resolve any issues. I tried everything, and the tower is just useless.
Well, I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised that my internet dropping problem seems to have been resolved. My gateway has held a connection without dropping for 19d 1h 31m. Perhaps there was a firmware upgrade that fixed the repeated dropouts or maybe the “tower maintenance” argument was legit. The current firmware I show is 1.2103.00.0338. Anybody else experience a similar result?
What device do you have is it the gray cylinder or the black cube?
Sorry for all the mispells. 4 days without disconnect then one tuesday AM. This could be tmobile rebooting their system. Problem is you have to reboot the router (it does not auto connect to internet even though wifi and cell signals are good) and if not home you can not do this remotely. Supposedly tmobile may be able to do this remotely. Went 7 days before that without disconnect.
I am unable to complete my nurse's notes tonight, I have had to start over four times now on this particular note. The internet will work for ten minutes, and then drop for twenty minutes. We moved in here in July; we're going to have to move somewhere else as soon as I can afford it so I can keep working! AT&T did say that they finally got approved by the city to bring fiber in, but they don't have any idea which neighborhoods they're going in to...in December...
I just set up the gateway about a week ago and am seeing similar issues where I need to reset the gateway about once a day due to internet drop out. There appears to be no reason. I called support and they had me reset it and told me it would never happen again, but it still does. Are people still seeing this or has it been fixed?

Oh wait, T-mobile internet was consistent. CONSISTENTLY BAD!
for 007bondM16, your a troll who probably works for T-mobile. Best decision I ever made was getting rid of T-mobile internet and going with a RELIABLE internet service for the exact same price!!!!

What service did you switch too? It’s great if some people can make the gateway work, but having to reboot it 1 to 3 times a day sure indicates to me there’s a problem. It’s too bad that T-Mobile doesn’t know (or won't admit) how to fix it. I have to believe it’s the gateway since I don’t have problems with my 5G phone connection.
MisterK- After I cancelled T-mobile internet and went with a cable service for the exact same price, my internet is faster and completely reliable. I wish you the very best of luck.

I don't work for TM and not a troll if you took the time to read post I give out help info but then again ppl have to want to recieve help.
There is one huge diff with your cable that your short sightedness where my view is long term. TMHI is $50 per month lifetime I am sure you did not get that from any cable company. So soon your bill will go up same old thing that happens with cable over and over the deal never last long.
As noted by others some it works some it does not bottom line if you work at it you can get it to work. But to each his own you gave up that’s fine as the gateway you returned there is someone waiting to receive it. But come back next year tell us what your cable bill went up to we all will still be at $50 with no data cap. Oh and it’s not personal I just am 100% sure it can work in your location but as I have said many times this is not a take out of the box place on table plug in and it works product. You have to find the right location and maybe even install an antenna that part TM fails at informing customers.
But do post the term your cable co gave you I bet it is a year maybe 2 tops then you pay them full price.

Me. They completed tower upgrades almost five months ago (took three or four weeks for the tower work), then speed increased substantially and internet dropping problem disappeared.
Hi. Only tracking this for last several days. There was the update as above nit not sire when. The drops Jane not happened for the last 4 days.
