✅ How to Fix Wi-Fi Connection Problems - T-Mobile Home Internet 5G Gateway

Can't "see" the wifi? Here's some simple fixes that address common Wi-Fi problems with the T-Mobile 5G Nokia Home Internet Gateway. This is how to change settings on the gateway to work with older devices (computer, tv, roku, phone, laptop, tablet, etc)

T-Mobile is just now rolling out 5G service and their software on these gateways (and their home internet phone app) are a bit buggy but I have faith they will continue to improve it. Right now it is a great option for those with no other reliable FAST internet. I have had AT&T DSL that gets about 25mbs down and 6mbs second up and I'll say its been rock steady the past several years.

If you have cable, fiber or 50+ mbs DSL you are probably better off sticking with that for a while until T-Mobile and others get the 5G fixed wireless fully setup and kinks worked out. This is much cheaper and potentially faster than Starlink especially for upload but Starlink covers (will cover...) all the REALLY rural places.

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you for doing them. I, too, am happy to see T Mobile doing this. I live in a small town of 2, 700 in Northcentral Arkansas. I am averaging 100 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload. That may not sound like much to most people, but my only choice for internet is dsl through my local telephone company. I had the top plan, which gave me up to 10 Mbps download and up to 1 Mbps upload. I think you can see why I am so excited by my numbers. Keep up the great work!!!

You are a life saver! I did all the tips and tricks from all the other channels and it was as simple as following your steps! Thank you sooo much

THANK YOU! I've gone months with either using a hotspot or just using my phone to do school because I didn't understand what the problem was, so I wasn't even sure what to look up. I finally realized maybe my computer isn't necessarily the only problem, since it was able to pick up other networks and not T-Mobile. Changing the transmission mode was the only problem! Thank you so much

This worked! I created another network with a slower 2.4 speed, and it worked immediately! That was DOPE

[doniquelamar]

Dude, you are freaking awesome. I just got one of those devices and tried playing Warframe, it was bad. I found your video and used your steps. Happy man over here! Thank you!

[ZampostOk]

This is good stuff! I got this ditched xfinity. Can’t tell a difference in speed so it’s pretty good

Bro thank you so much for your content it helped me decide on giving the T-Mobile home internet a chance and it worked out. I live in rural NC and internet has been pointless besides cellular. I mean I used to get 3-4 Mbps now I get it 25-200 mbps which is amazing but my only problem is it fluctuates from highs to basically crashing to .03 mbps. From what I understand it’s the towers deprioritizing my service since it’s home internet. The only way to fix is it to reboot it but I have to do this multiple times of the day... regardless when it’s working it’s a blessing until starlink comes 🙌🏽 keep up your content it’s interesting and very knowledgeable

I spent over 2 hours trying to get a new phone hooked up to my home internet. Frustrating! No help from T-Mobile! I watched your video and problem is solved. Thank you so much!

Hello Nater Tater - Thank you for your video. I was able to fix my no internet problem very quickly. You provided me with a quick fix that I could not find in any of the other youtube videos I watched. Thank you again for your great help and please continue to provide genuine information for all who need your assistance.

[joshware]

I am about to grab one of these im sooo glad i watched this first as i had questions about the 5g connection to older devices. Thanks a bunch.

[jeremytrenchard]

I am assuming they removed the changing tower option. Is there anyway to get to advanced options these days? I'm using the Arcadian kvd21.

[shaneblack]

Thank you for posting this. I just moved to Arkansas in a rural area with not many options for internet. I found this through a flyer in the mail and then at work by advertisement. This thing it the BOMB ! I run all of my devises at home NO problem and I am a musician and a gamer and this guy is GREAT for all of this except for one, lol. And that is exactly what you are talking about here. My laptop is not old but possibly older then the technology of this device and will not even show the Gateway in my list of available networks. I have tried everything I know to do and nothing, but, I am going to try this tonight and hopefully does the trick. thanks again, God Bless and Rock On !

I I bought this on Amazon to use as a stand for the T-Mobile gateway.
Brand is Supertek
Circular Tripod Stand for Laboratory, Steel, 127 mm x 230 mm (5” Diameter x 9" Height). I measured the inner diameter to be 3-1/8”, and the outer diameter to be 4-15/16”.

[rogers]

Appreciate your videos. T Mobile internet finally came to my area (los angeles) so I wanted to save on monthly internet. Was paying $64.99 a month with Spectrum.
Anyways, using this is frustrating. For the first 4 days worked great. Now, there's times during the day it does not work. I can't do anything. Yesterday I probably lost at least 3 hours because it was so slow or didn't work at all. Anyways, just venting. Thanks for your videos.

[carspottervandy]

Hi, I’m having trouble connecting my wifi extender. I have the NETGEAR AC1200 and every time I try to do it, it just says it couldn’t connect.

[nataliewei]

Hi Nate, would like to know how to connect Ring doorbell pro to T mobile 5G home? Thanks!

[ethanmontgomery]

Do you have any insight on changing the transmission mode for the ARC KVD21? I think this simple fix would solve my issue of my laptop not seeing the router but there are almost no settings available for the new hardware.
