2. Not a stable network .cellphones can stop or interrupt your service and expect no signal in bad weather and need to reset your router few times a week at least

3. That was my question about the battery why have the icon when is not wireless lol😢

4. I've been running this for roughly 6 months now and about 12 devices and it's been great, I'm a gamer and have little to no issues and not enough to make it a habit. It's not perfect but any means and weather WILL affect it. I will lag with heavy storms and clouds. I mounted a CPU fan on the bottom to help keep it cool and even have a signal booster on my roof which helped mostly for upload. I have no options minus satellite and starlink and the T-Mobile Internet has been the best. I only average 50mbps down and roughly 2-6 up but I can game with little issues and download stuff pretty quick. I am wanting to try the new modem since you had such good luck with it!

5. Do you need a router?

6. I have to have plug in wifi to use my TMobile phone. I live in a metal manufactured mobile home surrounded by other mobile homes. I don't think over the air wifi will work for me. I did ok with Direct tv for television and now have Spectrum which works ok because I pay for wired wifi plus tv. When I was just using direct tv without wifi I had to stand on a certain spot in my lanaii to use my phone.

7. I'm measuring 450mbps consistently, but the app says I'm only 3 bars

8. New devices are verifying all the addresses you go to. My 5g hotspot was hanging on some sites, that I go to. Some sites are not fully optimized yet. Most lag is the site,and/or. ISP. My Roku runs full steam on shitty signal. Chrome same signal buffers. Amazon video buffers on my 5g signal sometimes. That's them.

9. Looks ok. Looks good for a friend of mine he needs something. My Xfinity is a lot quicker so I'll stick to that…….its a bit more expensive tho

10. I live in the Bronx,NY it's not available in my location what should I do?

11. I am an independent insurance adjuster traveling all over the country, staying in hotels and RV parks, usually with abysmal internet speeds on their wifi networks, and usually ended up using my phone as a hotspot. I thought this might be a great alternative, and boy, I am sold! I was getting a lousy internet connection using my phone hotspot where I was staying in Ga and thought I would try this out. Currently, the speed test shows 181 MPs download and 55 uploads. Before I got this, I looked to see if there was 5g coverage in my area, and the website said no. However, it sure seems to be getting these speeds somehow. I also looked up 5 g coverage throughout the U.S. It looks like the coverage area is extensive, and in all the places I previously have been and had lousy service. The ultimate test will be taking on the road with me and seeing if I get this incredible speed everywhere. I'll keep you informed.

12. How is it gaming

13. Does it suppor 2.4hz like a dual band you know

14. Does this do well with online gaming? I live in a pretty rural area and got an email that this was available in my area, and I don’t know how reliable this is and t-mobile in general.

15. So I'm on a T-mobile unlimited plan right now, and I have the Galaxy S20 FE (5G capable). Is the speed test on mobile data indicative of what speeds I would expect on the T-Mobile 5G home internet?

16. If you want to work from home one afternoon…don’t expect your t-mobile internet to agree to your work plans. I have ruined many zoom calls in the three months I’ve had it and finally switched. Maybe next year they will be able to provide consistent service, especially when you need it.

17. Thanks for the review.
    Anyone in Chicago or northern suburbs have a positive experience with this? What are your speeds like?

18. Great video! Do you think this device will work in a CMV( Truck), From cost to cost? I'm looking to move on from my Sprint 100gb hotspot. Thanks

19. My ps5 won't work with it very well

20. How will this work with a Range Booster like Orbi Netgear? Will it boost the speed?

21. OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO ROUTE THE SIGNAL THROUGH THEIR WIRELESS ROUTER WHEN THE GATEWAY IS BOTH A MODEM AND A WIRELESS ROUTER?

22. Does 5G tower emit radiation?

23. Been working for 2 days, This thing is a ripper.. 350mbps down and 50mbps up, it shows three bars in the middle of the house.. 🙂 . good bye
    spectrum cable

24. Having used and and like it, here are the considerations. The good parts are….$50 a month with a CC on file. There are no data caps. Generally fast download ranging from over 100mb to slow at maybe 25mb at the very worst so far. Generally it just works once you find an appropriate window to place the router in front of. There is no equipment rental fee while you are on using it. Finally there is no contract. Also you have 30 days to test it and return it from the day you activate it if the connection does not work for you, but to repeat there is no contact anyway. The downsides are since this is 4g or 5g based and not connected by wires, the ping speeds are not completely dependable and there might be a drop every other or third day requiring a reboot. This could also be related to using a VPN at times too. But is no way is the delay on par with a satellite service, it pings yahoo with about 170ms response on average. However this probably isn't for competitive COD gamers or maybe people that work from home all the time and like every click to count. The modem itself is worth about $400 to tmobile so put it in a very safe place next to a window, or you will be out that money and they will want the modem back when you close the contract. You have to try different windows (the thing made of glass, not the OS) until you find a balance between a dependable connection and a better connection speed. The connection may require a little organized testing by someone who understands the basics of wifi. That control interface goes through your cell phone, but you don't have to wait for a service call either. The connection may not play nice with 100 percent of all apps, although that type of problem is extremely uncommon in my experience. If you like run with vpn on a pc that connection on that device may drop between 20 and 40mb's down. You know who you are if that makes you say no deal. The advanced options directly on the modem/router itself are very limited and vanilla. I think this is a great simple option and plan keep it as long as the download speeds are maintained.

25. I can't stand that you talk too fast. When do you ever take a breath ??? I bailed after a few minutes.

26. Nothing but problems with my T-Mobile home internet. Would not recommend

27. My 5g phon always past 100mbps down and my lte is always around 40-60 mbps and both uploads ways 10-30

28. Does it support port forwarding?

29. Thanks for the review. I’ve been using this in suburban PA and am in an ultra capacity area. I’m getting 600-700 Mbps down and 30-40 Mbps up. Ping is about 35, so plenty low for gaming. Overall, my experience has been great. I’m only 10 days in, so will reserve judgment until it proves itself over time…

30. I recently got this and I get 100 messages on download speed and 2.2 mbps for upload its super laggy on my ps4 any tips??

31. I have one of these because I live in an area other internet providers don’t provide and if sucks it’s BAD. I wish for good internet again

32. No ports for external mimo antenna is a deal breaker for me

33. This is a good solution for me because I'm in the country and this is available and my starlink isn't ready

34. From the videos on YouTube ik for sure can get over 700 down
