Connection issues
I just started using my 5g internet box , I moved from North Charlotte to Concord by the mall, not a big difference in distance to not be covered suddenly internet wise .. it was working last night at the new location fine but this morning it quite and now they say where we are , isn’t eligible for signal and asking us to upgrade to a better plan to cover and ask for coverage where we are , when we were told our internet works almost anywhere just plug and unplug ? ! ? We were sold on its durability and reliability and were sure it was a good option since my mother in law has the same router and it works perfect ! And When a T-Mobile store is right up the street from our new location , the same store we originally bought the router from with our phones ! so I’m not really understanding what they are saying or why it is not working when it did fine last night for awhile and they don’t have much of a explanation as to why or a fix .. I’ve watched videos explaining things , I’ve been told the router I have is one of the worser ones out of the 3 or 4 they have available and has connection issues the most. Just wanna put that here so if anybody else has any of the same issues please tell me how to fix

Shocked
I was very skeptical about T-Mobile. Primary because it sounds too good to be true. I live in the northeast suburbs semi rural. Our cable internet provider was CenturyLink. We had constant drops and throttling down of bandwidth. Even though they said “we don’t do that.” I told the customer service people to talk to the technical people who said clearly they did have me marked as too much data and would improve with the new billing cycle. Good thing they record those calls…
Anywho…. When I set up the TMoble modem, which was simple, I had 100 times the download speed, and 30 times the upload speed. Side by side test. I scraped CenturyLink, and the speed hasn’t changed. The T-Mobile WiFi signal is much stronger too. It works better than my work AT&T FirstNet hot spot. We have been a customer for just over 2-months, wow, what a difference! Unbelievable! And thank you!!

Some issues
So, I have been forced to start completely over. New city new everything so when I needed internet I went to T-Mobile cuz I needed a phone as well. Got it set up and the service for the router is amazing. I absolutely love the internet and works great! Just as if it’s hardwired like Xfinity. What I do have complaint about is the app for the router hasn’t worked since the night I was able to get and set up the box itself. Idk why. But, I cannot get into it. Deleted it reinstalled I’ve done everything. Other than that customer service for T-Mobile is I mean absolutely god awful I have never in my life experienced the things that they have put me through with my account etc. I need a phone but I need the home Internet more and bcuz it is so good especially where I live it’s this or something else I’ve never heard before and it’s so expensive. This is so cheap yet so good. I’m paying 25$ for the service.

Much better than expected.
Tried it out of curiosity and spent the week using it to replace my Comcast router. We are a heavy use family (3 tweens, all streaming tv, and 4 camera cloud uploads). The router gets a consistent "very good" connection in my enclosed cabinet, but likely better outside of it. Does not matter, the current state is working great--the software does tell you where best to place it. I cancelled Comcast yesterday, as I see no need for it anymore. Pay attention to where you live and where you are told to put it and it should do you right. Try it out for a week and see before cancelling your other service.
Be aware though. I work 2 miles from home and the service is not available there, as the connection for T-Mobile is not as strong there, so this service is great if it is great where you want to place it. Also, it is not meant to travel--the device makes you tell it where it is located, so it is not meant to be a "traveling hot spot," or at least that is what it seems.

Switched from ATT wifi to TMobile wifi
Best thing I should have done a long time ago. I would pay $124 for internet and sometimes bill would go up because of added data because I ran out of data. Saw commercials of $50 per month and a coworker had TMobile wifi and had zero complaints. A second coworker then switched from Spectrum also to TMobile and that’s when I followed from word of mouth recommendation. I just find a spot by the window and there’s a huge difference on how fast my phone or any other wifi device works. I have six cameras around the house it’s impressive the difference on how they respond. I called and had my ATT wifi disconnected. All other internet businesses will have to lower their prices once they see how many people are switching services.
