Great price but most of the reviews state it isnt consistant speeds and has frequent drops.

I wonder if this is portable as long as you have an oulet for power?

I had this from its inception, originally it wasn't too bad-as time went on the signal got worse and buffered like nuts, 3 TV's a pc and phone. I finally gave up after 7 months and terrible to non-existent customer service. The price is definitely tempting, btw, their newer modem was worst than their first, I had a pc fan underneath to cool it down, no difference.

If true it's a no brainer. I have the service. You can expect 100mbs-300mbs. Down time nonexistent.

Turn off the Tmobile gateway wireless radio and use a good router. Fix my speed issue immediately, literally quadrapuled it. Lookup on youtubebhow to do it. There's a guy named Nate that gives great instructions.
Is there a way to update the gateway IMEI and/or TTL?

There is no way for you to modify T-Mobile gateway or its TTL.

Turn off its wifi to help

I signed up on the 16th and still haven't received $25 off promotion.
I'm guessing we gotta wait for next billing cycle?

Not a good sign. The "2022 HINT P22" promotion is auto attached to the new HSI line under my account. If I were you I'll contact customer service and ask them to check
Got the Congrats on your promotional service discount text a while back .They all told me wait next billing cycle

With this service, you don't get a public IP. In other words, if you run any kind of server at home that you want to be publicly accessible, it can't be done. You don't get the ability to set up port forwarding either.

I bought this service,.cancelled spectrum, used T-Mobile for three days, called spectrum back and said I wanted to sign up as a new customer. It somehow worked and I locked in to their low cost for two years 🤣.

While I had this, I had issue with zoom dropping out and vastly wild speed fictional from 3 to 300mbps at any given time. Admittedly, it was before it was generally available and I signed up as a beta tester.

Just set up my gateway and was getting 300mbps upstairs. However downstairs I was getting about half of that (150mbps). I assume the signal is not that strong as using my old Asus router. Does anyone know how to connect my Asus rog gs ax5400 router to the TMobile gateway?

Nice. Normally Spectrum makes you wait 30 days to be a new customer.

Thanks for the reply. A couple more questions:
1. With Orbi in router mode, does T-Mobile router assign the IP address (192.168.12.x) or Orbi assigns IP address (192.168.1.x) to the connected devices? In router mode also I think I was seeing all devices on T-Mobile router app as well!
2. My Samsung TV was not connecting to internet when Orbi was in router mode and that is why I switched to AP mode and it then connected fine. Do you think that was because of double NAT thing in router mode?
1. With Orbi in router mode, the T-Mobile router will give the 192.168.12.x address to your WAN/internet port on the Orbi. Then the Orbi will hand out the 192.168.1.x addresses to devices on your network.
2. Double NAT could be causing issues, but I'd try again and see. Maybe it was hanging onto the wrong address or something. Power it off completely and on and see. Like unplug the TV from the power entirely.

They told me it takes one to two billing cycles. I called again and the new customer rep said my account is definitely changed from the $50 per month to the $25 per month.

5. Customer service is excellent if you use T-Force. The offshore service is like anything else these days. However, the guy who helped me via online chat was offshore and had zero issues signing me up for the deal a few hours after this offer started. I figured since it was the first day, I might have to use T-Force.
6. They are limiting the users in an area by address to hopefully prevent this
9. It depends on your tower. If you are getting long range 5G, yeah speeds will be lower. I am on a 5G UC tower seeing 200-400mbps depending on time of day. It never seems to go below 200.
The offshore sign-up is a lot different than actual tech support in my experience. They can usually only use scripted responses which is easy to get an account set up but seems much harder when a tower has been down for weeks without resolution or any idea that it has been. "The system shows everything is fine, you need to reboot" etc.

So far my service sucks. Great price, horrible on consistency. I am 1.1 miles from the t-mobile tower in a not too densely populated area. My phone will get 100-200mbps on its own. Hooked to my black tower, it can range from non-existent to under 10lbs to 100+ mbps on the odd occasion. They already swapped out the black tower box for me once. Coming from a consistent 18-20mbps ADSL line, which I did not drop yet. Glad for that. The only thing I can think off, is that there a is utility substation with two communication towers 1/10th of a mile from me in line of sight with the t-mobile tower location. But why would the 5G phone work with such great throughput while the HSI box not????

Two things may cause the data speed differences between 5G phone and HSI box.

1) 5G phone smartphone plan has higher data priority than Tmobile Home internet (HSI).

https://www.t-mobile.com/responsi...et-service

T-Mobile Home Internet (available in select locations) customers receive the same network prioritization as Heavy Data Users (who are prioritized last on the network) .....

Data for customers on most T-Mobile-branded plans (and for customers on Sprint-branded plans while using the T-Mobile network), is prioritized before the data of customers on Essentials plans and Metro by T-Mobile or Assurance Wireless-branded plans. Mobile internet plans offered after December 12, 2020 with 30GB or more data per month, and Project 10Million and some other education-focused mobile internet plans, are prioritized next. The vast majority of customers on T-Mobile-branded, Sprint-branded, Metro by T-Mobile-branded, and Assurance Wireless-branded plans receive higher priority than the small fraction of customers who are Heavy Data Users on their rate plan, who are prioritized last on the network after exceeding the relevant threshold for the current billing cycle. T-Mobile Home Internet (available in select locations) customers receive the same network prioritization as Heavy Data Users

2) 5G phone may be using different 5G bands than Tmobile Home internet device (you will need to google more about this and do some research to figure it out)

I wouldn't dream of trying to talk to offshore support about a tower issue. T-Force or executive team only for that! Wink
