@@JackNtheXbox change your MTU to 1420 , your ping is going to be less then 30 ! Sometimes 12 !! Because T-Mobile is 5G, your welcome 😁 make sure to thank me with a follow up video ;)
@@JackNtheXbox yep I have the same router , do a follow up video when you get it (maybe a review on it if you want ) keep us posted. Hope it helps you .
I tried T-Mobile Home Internet for a week, unfortunately it was too slow. They shipped me the new Arcadyn router. Best speeds I could get on the N41 Band was 120 Mbps down 5 Mbps up with 30ms latency. The signal meter on the router was showing 4 of 5 bars (Very Good) when situated on the second floor of my home. However, it wasn't enough upload bandwidth to handle a video Zoom call, so I had to send back the router. Tech support said there was some scheduled upgrades coming on the tower nearest to me, but couldn't give me a date of completion. I have to stick with the more expensive AT&T Fiber 1000 for now. It gives me 950 Mbps down, 900 Mbps up with 9ms latency for $80/month.
I have 3 homes. The Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, The River valley in West Virginia and in Florida. I have heard that if you take it away from the address it is registered, T Mobile will shut down your service. Is this true? It would be very convenient to bring my internet with me rather than setting up internet at each location.
They do shut it down if it is running off of towers outside the contract area. I hope they remove that policy, because it would be awesome in my camper.
If you have a router attached to that thing, reduce the router packet size to match, I think it's 1420 or 1430 for T-Mobile. You'll get much better performance. MUCH better performance.
I have this service. Two things to note. Gaming online with this service you need to add an 80mm fan under the can to keep it cool. 2nd if your just needing it to stream TV services it works fine. Can you watch 4k no, at least we can't. Will it. Run 1080 yes all day. On bad days we get 45-55 down 20ish up. With 6 devices we have no complaints. Occasionally it will drop out for 3-5 mins. But we had dsl and that was our only choice I could have ran faster and found the internet with the old provider. So this has been a great speed boost and cost savings for us. Can you game on it, yes but you have to really tweak your pc to work right, while it not perfect it will work. Without the additional cooling fan, the trash can wouk get very very hot. With the fan it Luke warm even when taxing the service hard.
I called last week and changed my phone service from Verizon to T-Mobile. I wanted more hotspot data for YT videos. Went from 15GB to 40GB with the magenta max 55+ plan. Was told about this home internet and was placed on the waiting list. My question, if 5G phone service is available here in the sticks where I'm at, why won't the home internet gateway work here as well? According to T-Mobile, I have the 5G extended range. I don't understand why they're different.
First, a question. Did you talk to somebody about getting the internet or did you sign up for the waiting list online? I was also put on a waiting list until I talked to someone live and they signed me up for the internet. If they put you on a waiting list it means that they are trying to reserve bandwidth until they have more towers in your region.
@@JackNtheXbox Yes I did. They verified my address and told me service wasn't available here yet. Then put my name on the waiting list. The second thing you mentioned worries me. If they're waiting for enough people to sign up before they put more towers, I may never get it, huh?
@@DavidD-bg7uo Sorry that is not what I meant. They may be reserving bandwidth until they get more tower coverage. They have been putting boosters on power poles, so it could happen sooner than you think.
I just installed T-Mobile Home Internet. I get typical download speeds of 60-70 but the speed can vary quite a bit. I watch streaming videos and notice occasional buffering. I get low bandwidth messages from Netflix and Hulu sometimes. The 5G bandwidth is shared ( cell service highest priority with home internet getting the lowest ) . T-Mobile limits the number of internet users per tower. I sometimes see download speeds in the single digits. I once had no service for 15 minutes. The high congestion period for me is around evening commute hours. I live by a freeway and imagine everybody on their cell at that moment.
That makes a lot of sense. I live in an area where I would not experience the same thing. It sounds a lot like peak time throttles I experienced on Comcast years ago. That is the interesting thing with this internet, it truly is not for everyone in every setting. I think it solves the issues some have while creating new issues for others. Dedicated bands that cell phones can't use would be an interesting solution.
I signed up for the service about three weeks to get away from horrible Suddenlink and I'm almost ready to return the gateway and find another internet provider. The service works okay about 70% of the time, but just like as I type this, the internet speed inexplicably drops to almost nothing for several hours, where I can't even load a social media page. Perhaps the service is not ready for prime time in my area so I can't recommend it unless you know you have real good 5G coverage where you live.
Do you know what bands you are getting from your tower? That often plays a huge role in how goo or not good the service is. Thank you for watching my video!
I got this in february, cancelled my fios in march, the wife works from home doing zoom calls and we also use firesticks and amazon alexas in our house, all worked great until june 2nd, called tmobile home internet department 25 times had 3 service tickets opened, no one could fix my internet (rand[m drops, slow speeds and outages). Dropped tmobile this week and started fios again at doible the price of tmobile. Waste of my time trying tmobile
Current status: AT&T Broadband, 15.1 Mbps download and .91 (that's right, less than 1, plan is 2) with my T-mobile 5g network speed run ( I am a Sprint/T-mobile) mobile customer, I am getting 655 Download and 41.5 upload. Sounds like the T-mobile Home Internet would be a total upgrade for me, what do you think? Can you give some more details about a mesh system or extender for this product? Thanks... best video out there about this device.
Mesh devices are compatible, but you will give up a little speed. What do you primarily use your internet for? Movies, tv, games, a combination, etc... Let me know and I can give you some recommendations.
@@JackNtheXbox Thanks for the response. I use the internet for normal day to day stuff... streaming, work, movies, TV, Google Hub max, video calling and home security. No gaming at all...oh yea.. the house is less than 2000 sq ft. security camera is the further thing from wifi access

It is on sale and I have a friend with TMobile that uses it, and he says it works great.
I have the T-Mobile gateway and I did have to connect a waveform antenna. That being said it did double my download and upload from 80 down to 160 and 30 up to 60.
Good content, In my area only Frontier DSL was available I was paying $80 for 25mbps down…..T-Mobile just became available I get 150 down for $50 no brainer, I also game on it with around 50-60 ping seems to work fairly well I can still get a W in Fortnite and Apex no problem.
I have the service and I think it's great I used to have Comcast and my speeds were not that good the upload speed was 12 and the download speed was 200 mb per second with this new T-Mobile Gateway which supports wifi-6 my upload speeds are around 50 to 70 in my download speeds are over 600 mb per second with Comcast it was very hard to view a 4K stream without a lot of buffering but with this service I am about buffer free
Do people who gush over t-mobile 5g only use it for speed test and speed test only, and not real world use? Cause when I had them I would pull 300 to 600 mgbs and streaming Hulu, disney+, yt, hbomax, and Netflix. It would buffered like crazy. And web pages and social media feeds lagged to load. All you need to stream something HD is at the most 30 mgbs so I'm confused about it.
If you are getting over 300down and 20up and there is lagging, something is definitely wrong with your setup/system. I get over 200/20 regularly. No buffing issues ever. I do end up rebooting around once a month. Best pings are 15-20. Not using an external antenna yet.
The speeds have made a dramatic change for me. I stream live videogame play out of my house, and the upload speeds have made that possible. I can also download video games in fraction of the time it used to take. I also have a large family, so lots of devices can big down speeds and bandwidth really fast. If you were experiencing buffer time and lags, there could have been some setup issues with those speeds.
I had went thru the set up again to make sure and found out which direction the nearest tower was so I can put by a window facing that way. I got around 50 on upload. It worked better on our devices, but ps5 gaming still lagged and still couldnt stream seamlessly on our tvs especially our big TV in the living room. Tech support said It could be the area and to give it a month or two. I think for a big house hold like mine, with a lot of devices. fiber or Wiredline is the best choice until 5g is optimized
Yea your ping is not the best but a lot of people this option will work ..... Verizon is working to make home internet better too...just a ping lower than 30 would be so much better
Have you set your MTU size as default is 1500 if you set it lower you will decrease you ping time, Peter covers this on his channel ruclips.net/video/SRW4E-z-x54/видео.html&lc=UgzfRVvA7hVdk6NLbnN4AaABAg.9W4-hO1efxK9W4N4PW9XGn give it a try and see if you can improve your speed and ping. I have cable and I set my MTU size is 1460 since I stream everything and was buffing a lot but not anymore after setting if from 1500 to 1460. Good luck.
@@JackNtheXbox What model do you have? Reason I ask you can flash it with DD-WRT as this is what I did for my netgear as it did not have a MTU setting either. Update on the TP Link Router the MTU settings can be under WAN if not there then it is under network advance settings based off the firmware version you are running as the location for this setting.
I’ve had it now a little over two weeks. I consistently get about 160-180 mbps. I have about 16 devices hooked on to it without a hitch
