the service is available at my other house but not the current house. Can I activate at the available address then use it at my current house?

man, I just got mine today. speed is decent when I do a speed test, but actually using it with my devices feels slower then my Xfinity. also, it gets slower during the evening. too bad, would have liked it at this price. still going to test it for a week, but not impressed.

Be careful if you use YouTube TV (or any other live TV streaming service) as the IP address will constantly change depending which T-Mobile cell tower you are connected to. This changes due to traffic and congestion. I use the YouTube unlimited streams/4k plan ($10 extra per month) where we can have unlimited streams ON MY HOME NETWORK, but when the IP address changes, YouTube TV thinks we are streaming from outside my home network. This will cause constant errors on the YouTube TV app, usually while streaming a big game.Trust me, I was one of the first T-Mobile Home Internet back ten years ago and I really wanted it to work. Now I use Spectrum, 400 down/12 up for $65 per month. Zero connectivity issues. Happy shopping. God Bless America!

Do they offer any money back if service isn't good enough and you cancel within the first couple weeks?

The mesh system should be fine. The modem isn't going to work. This isn't cable internet, it's over the air 5G.

Yes you get a "Worry-free 15-day test drive" to see if it works for you or get your money back.

ASUS RT-AX86U PRO is better. OR RT-AC86U is fine,

You can firmware it with Merlin if you want a better VPN router.

ASUS will reconnect when service goes down
ASUS with autoconnect it first installation of Tmobile.
These models have AES-NI. Huge difference.

Processor with AES-NI: The RT-AC86U features a dual-core Broadcom processor (like the BCM4906 in some models) that includes the Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) instruction set. AES-NI offloads computationally intensive encryption and decryption calculations from the main CPU, allowing the router to handle encrypted traffic much more efficiently.

Asus routers with hardware AES / AES-NI or similar acceleration

RT-AC86U – has AES-NI support.

RT-AX86U / RT-AX86U Pro – also cited in context of having hardware support.

RT-AX88U / RT-AX88U Pro – similarly referenced.

RT-AX92U

Models in the GT-AX / GT-AXE / ZenWiFi / AX8 / AC8 series often have modern CPUs that include hardware crypto acceleration, which typically includes AES

My speeds were 610 up and 40 down,

Now, a huge drop to 560 up and 50 down. Oh well, I just have to live with itworship

Know where your tower is. Mine is just up the street.

what about the gl.inet routers?

i have flashed merlin and tomato on previous routers back in the day. kind of want a buy it for life router, i don't mind spending $$$ on it, I plan on having it forever.

if i have an existing router, can i just plug an ethernet port from it into the 5g router? or would i need to set everything up all over again?

do you run into any issues from t-mobile on it? how much data do you use on a monthly basis?

I use it at an off-grid location with a weak signal so my results aren't indicative of what to expect. The tablet SIM doesn't have any restrictions that I have encountered.

I only know about netgear and asus routers. Merlin makes a huge difference for creating a VPN based router only as secondary. (More routers more fun)

For Asus, it was plug and play. no issues at all. I would recommend having a different subnet rather than the 12 used by Tmobile. 192.168.12.XXX

tmobile to WAN if you want a router attached. You can make it an Access point but I like to control the flow of data though my router. Note that this is a double nat which is no big deal but some gamers may want to create a DMZ zone.

Tmobile so far so good. Speeds vary during the day. From 420 to 580. 40 to 60 up.

No drops at all yet. Ping 16.

All other cloud systems work as well as Chrome remote desktop.

Due to some security issues you might need to have a VPN for some applications since you do not get a unique I address.

Spectrum sucks. I was getting daily 1 minute disconnects.

Just ordered Verizon home 5G internet where they were offering $250 Amz GC and NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube. Unsure how it works but gonna soon find out.

Has to keep the line for 180 days if you redeem promos

Anyone has experience with YT? It is $75 for the top of the line plan but the displayed speeds are lower than T Mo
