Like I said in the video, your experience may differ from mine. If it doesn't work for you then cancel. Why keep using it if it sucks for you? I swear some of you have a personal vindetta against T-Mobile internet.

[@gabrielmartin2678]

Wow just wow! PERSONAL VENDETTA? I myself have T-Mobile service for ALMOST 20 YEARS. I have 1st hand EXPERIENCE with their Home Internet for MANY MONTHS, that they even replaced my NOKIA 5G GATEWAY 3 TIMES already. Your REVIEW has FULL OF MISINFORMATIONS & looks like blind fanboy! TELL US your REAL REVIEW AFTER 6 MONTHS...

[@infernaltim]

@@gabrielmartin2678 Holy COW look at ALL THOSE caps. Take your blood pressure meds before getting mad at a video about home internet, holy shit. 😂

[@fanpim]

I got mine for a few months now and I am super happy. Everything you said about the T-Mobile Home internet is correct. Great job and thank you !!!

[@darrylwoodbury]

I've had it for a week now and I'm loving it. I have no complaints. Also, it's cheaper than my old ISP.

[@DhavalSakaria]

even with 3 bars is it good?

[@technogi5222]

Yes it is.

[@TransitAndTeslas]

I ordered one myself and I can’t wait to tell to Cox to pound sand. No data caps and no random disconnections when they sent a tech out 9 times. This is going to be great!

[@roberthansen2008]

By watching a lot of these reviews about this service I'm really seriously thinking about getting it. Matter of fact it's a strong will get it.

[@technogi5222]

So far I have no complaints.

[@williamriley2489]

Great no nonsense straightforward review. Thank you.

[@jimmylawrence8415]

Great review and I agree! I have been using it for almost four months now. I average 140 download speeds and 40 upload speeds, and the signal has been very reliable, even during storms and heavy rain. I live in a small town of 2700 located in the mountains of Arkansas, so we are very rural. My only option for internet here is dsl through my local telephone company, which gives speeds of 10 download and 1 upload. So, T Mobile Internet is great for me!

[@TomTomdog]

what watch brand are you wearing?

[@carlosloya4895]

I’m liking it so far. I have 4 bars here in my area and my download/upload mbps speeds are 500-600 and around 110. Very good and fast connection. As far as gaming goes I’m still testing it out. But it seems okay. I’ve only had this internet for about a week. So far so good.

[@OneAdam12Adam]

I made the switch and it's excellent. The fact that I don't have to pay monthly fees to RENT a modem/router makes it worth it.

[@damayoclinic]

I’m getting 714 down and 81.9 up on my T-Mobile Home Internet. I’ve been using the service for about two years now. I just received my New T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway last week, I’m in heaven! Lol

[@infernaltim]

I have a 5G tower at the end of my street. It's not perfect like some people are reporting, I'm getting a bit over 200 down, 20-30 up, but for the price and consistency I dropped my cable internet that was about $115 a month. I also ran a TP Link WiFi mesh system throughout the house off of it and it's been working flawless for streaming, surfing, downloading, and most of all gaming.

[@tomblake15]

I cannot host a website domain and I cannot access some ftp sites now. Had DSL before and had no issue. to access the unavailable ftp sites I have to use my cellphone as a hotspot instead. Sucks. I got it to improve my ftp download so disapponted, but the speed is a great improvement.

[@SPRest03]

In my area, it didn’t work well at all. I work from home so I need stable internet. I had it for about 8 days before I had no choice but to return it. It was in and out everyday - sometimes for 20 mins - sometimes longer. It was slow and would knock me offline with my work computers. During the small amount of time I had it, I ended up calling support several times a day and restarting the system. I returned it and went back to xfinity. Price is about the same .I still have T-Mobile for my phones. I may try it again in the future after they make improvements. Hated that I had to return it because I really like T-Mobile.

[@technogi5222]

Sorry to hear that

[@jonsumner1382]

So are you saying that you can use this along with being internet you can also use it for home phone? Because I've been wanting to get rid of our cable but I've been told (by my family, who want a landline) to be able to do that we must be able to have home phone service?

[@technogi5222]

It has a phone Jack, however. I do not own a land line. I do not know for sure if you can use it as a land line. That is a question for T-Mobile

[@jonsumner1382]

@@technogi5222 well in the past I typed in my address for availability and it showed that we were supposedly in the area then last night I put in my address and it said that we do not have availability which or course is weird. Anyways signed up to be put on the wait-list. Just like you we have a large family and have spectrum so this gives me a lot of hope that at least eventually it will be a good bet for my family And I'll make sure to ask them if I can use this to get a landline service and internet.

[@frankking178]

The phone jack on the unit is not supported at this time. T-mobile said maybe in the future.

[@jonsumner1382]

@@frankking178 well that's good cuz like I said right now they're not in my area I don't know my guess is that they actually been such a big hit in this area that there's too many users to handle the capacity that's all I can assume so maybe by the time that I can get T-Mobile home internet possibly the jack will be supported. I mean T-Mobile is a phone service so it would make sense it wouldn't be that hard to have phone service through the jack

[@AdamMancia]

Great review/info. Do you know if you can assign multiple ip addresses with this mobile router or at least one for each of the 4 separate unique SSID that t-mobile home internet allows?

[@technogi5222]

Honestly, I don’t see why not. But I haven’t tried anything like that.

[@cobra5088]

Can the WiFi radio be turned off on this gateway? Im interested in the tmobile internet but prefer hardwire over WiFi for security reasons.

[@you78750]

It does not have built-in fan. Battery is only for checking cell signal, WLAN (for ext router) and WiFi don't work

[@huguisstyle]

Thank you! Great review. Waiting for mine to arrive by the end of August.

[@kcbguy57]

Everything he said is correct. EXCEPT it is NOT Mobile. They set your address up once you start, and you can not take it beyond your cell tower area.

[@technogi5222]

Thanks I have not tested that, I just heard an RV couple mention it. Maybe the talked to T-Mobile to get an exception because they were full time.

[@rondonze5285]

Since many devices only use 2.4G connections (tablets, TVs etc) why not talk about those speeds. When I tried the Arc gateway, the 2.4G speeds were slow. About 13Mbps without using any external antennas to boost my "good" signal level. I guess too much tree interference since I'm no more than 1 half mile from the tower. Secondly, the 5G wifi signal goes nowhere in the house. 20 feet away with one wall and that's too much for it. Logistics of having the router near a window but everything else in the house unable to connect to it doesn't do much good. I had to return mine.

[@Boricua0082]

Thumbs up for Soundwave

[@anymouse6202]

Thanks for the video!

[@1auntievenom]

I just ordered it. I currently have cox in New Orleans and I pay 150 per month and the customer service is awful. I won't get my router until September but I am locked in at 50 per month for life. They are also throwing in a free Tmobile hub. I am so excited! I am also very excited to know that I can still get internet when the power goes out, considering that I am in New Orleans. It also streamlines my bills because I already have tmobile and I can't wait to say "cox, you're canceled"!

[@technogi5222]

If they have 5G there you should be golden.

[@Timzart7]

GI gave an excellent review, but the battery functions only as a backup of your configuration data for the device and so you can move it around without it being plugged in and see the signal strength on top. The battery does not power the unit during a power failure. You could plug it into a portable power supply, like a Jackery, if you want it to work during a power failure or where there is no power.

[@1auntievenom]

@@Timzart7 right, this is what I suspected. As long as the tower is up, there should be internet. I don't loose cell signal, so, I wouldn't loose internet. Every time inloose power here though, it will come on hours or days before my cox internet is reactivated. A bluetti has been on my to do list for a while!

[@UGS4697]

if you already have tmobile why not get 15gb global plus? it's a $50 add on that gives unlimited high speed Hotspot data within the us. not useable with magenta max only magenta.

[@tukulitozakayamas2103]

will this gateway work well with 14 devices? why so many people use this only as modem and not as wifi router? i do have a netgearN750 router. do i still need to use the router?

[@BeastWolf89]

I ordered mine on the 3rd said it's supposed to be here on sept the 7th or 13th. but hey good sir, I know this has nothing to do with the video but what's your fav transformer.

Can I get your area code so I can order one

[@billjackson9353]

How can I find out when 5g will be avilable in my area?

[@BENGALSPRIMETIME2024]

So question you hooked up you lan port to your mesh right? Did you turn off the WiFi on the T Mobile and let your mesh network do the rest?

[@technogi5222]

No need to, I just plugged my mesh in. I can sign onto my mesh or directly to the T-Mobile router. I usually just use the router signal because it is wifi 6.

[@CROW1176]

By any chance did you have to wait 24 hours after you received the item my internet didn't work right away they told me I have to wait 24 hours is that true

No, worked right out the box.

[@mohamedjaffarusa]

I had same internet our area was available, it was pulling 250+ during busy day. Normally it pulls during night 450+, the only reason I had to cancel I was paying $60 at that time with autopay lowered now to $50, we went to Comcast again due to $50 flat for 2 year price lock. Otherwise I wouldn’t cancel this, specially upload is great, Comcast you do 11 mbps only based on my speed. So definitely worth it to try.

can you plug in a fax machine to this?

T-Mobile will not support it if you use it away from the cell tower to which it's assigned. No RV for you (unless it's in the driveway).

This is correct.. But we can keep our fingers crossed that in the future they offer a RV or roaming plan.
