- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Can't get a 2.4Ghz wifi device to connect? Here's the low down on 5G Home Internet and if they have 2.4Ghz WiFi. You likely need to adjust some settings to get older devices to connect to wifi with T-Mobile 5G Home Internet, Verizon 5G Home and AT&T Internet Air. Band Steering combines 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi bands under a single SSID Wifi name but you can split them up if needed. If you want more speed, consider a Waveform external antenna or a 3rd party gateway like the Chester Cheetah (links and discounts below!).Or consider getting an external antenna from Waveform (links below).

Thanks Nate. I now have all my smart devices on a 2.4GHz signal on my T-Mobile Home Internet (using the Chester Cheeta Gateway from Chester Tech Repairs) and my Phones and Computers on my Verizon 5G Home Internet (5GHz). I also set up a separate Guest Network (2.4GHz with WPA2 Security) on my Verizon 5G Home Internet I use for guests and my Apple and Roku TV.
very good!
I have two T mobile sevices. I had issues connecting to old wifi devices until i shut off the gateway wifi (per Nater vid) and connected my own routers. No issues since.
I probably should've mentioned that! I don't even use the built in wifi, add your own wifi setup/router for the best performance. Glad you got yours working well!
We recently got Spectrum fiber and their pre-packaged modem didn't support being able to isolate 2.4ghz and 5ghz so I ended up having to buy a different router so my older devices would connect
wow, that's surprising they don't let you separate them! First time I've heard that.
That's what I always tell people just don't bother with the built in WiFi from a providers Gateway, just spend the money to go get your own mesh WiFi setup, as you will have less issues. For example at work we have a Breezline business account with an IP phone line, and their Gateway would always be rebooting itself, or just going stupid every 10 to 30 minutes, and I got tired of it, so I went into the Arris settings turned off WiFi, got my own Mesh setup, and now my whole building at work is covered in good signal with very little downtime unless there is a real network outage.
@@CommodoreFan64 good point
First of all, thank you for your videos, your very smart about these things‼️
I just purchased the new T-Mobile gateway. I can't seem to connect to my Google Mini which runs a lot of appliances throughout my apartment. I only have one line where my Xfinity had two lines. I feel kind of naked without my Google Mini, can ask it questions or nothing.
Please help me 😎
I hear ya, I like my google mini's too. I suggest you look to make a separate 2.4ghz only network and have google connect to that. they tend to have trouble with wifi band steering when you have 2.4ghz and 5ghz with the same SSID.
@@NaterTater
My man, Thank you so much‼️
I went into the T-Mobile app and you're able to create four different lines.
So have one 5 hertz and one 2.4 hertz, and now I have everything working.
If I didn't see your video I wouldn't have a clue. Again thank you so much 😎
I have bought a Udm wall by spending some 1200 bucks. Also 2 unify accespoint 6e enterprise version one unify express, after a massive wifi hacking by some unknown remote actions. originally the ISP gave their own modem (Speedprt pro with hybrid option from telekom). But then I want to use only Udm wall as main modem and router. I plugged in the DSL cable to Udm wall, but nothing is being recognised...I am not a professional, but I really want this to work and have a secure connection.pleae help..where am I doing wrong..I want to give up the ISP modem
Sounds like probably some settings in the udm that you need to get from your ISP.
I have the newer 5g gateway on tmobile but the 5g drops daily and I have to reset it daily. It's pretty frustrating. Thanks for the videos. They are helpful.
I also bought the 5g antenna that doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
oh no. which antenna and where did you place it? how is it aimed?
Same issues
@NaterTater I bought it through tmobile. 5g works great for a while but it reverts back to 4g. Sounds like it's a common issue.
Hey I have the AT&T internet air. I’ve seen you’ve done videos on it but when I connect it to my house the speeds go to 75 download and 4 upload with 100 which is weird. Than it goes to 3 download 0.25 upload , horrible and I’m wondering if you know what I can do to fix it ?
Placement of the "egg" is critical, typically higher and the house and by a window or wall facing the cell tower.
@@NaterTater how do I know where the cell tower is or where to find the strongest spot ?
@@PuhnkRacks th-cam.com/video/ychwO3q0ZH8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NEZY9icrBBDfBB0u can maybe start at 4mins in and see cell mapper. If you have an att phone you can put the cell mapper app on that too
Thanks for all your help with the T-Mobile internet. I have a firestick cube and I am on a 5g connection. Problem is when I restart the gateway for any reason the firestick internet reverts to 2.4g and won't change back to 5g unless I type in the password. Is there anyway to keep it on 5g without putting in the password each time?
Yes, separate the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz wifi to different names. If they are already different names then go into the fire settings and delete or tell it to forget the 2.4ghz network.
Show me how to change it to the 2.4 gigahertz are the five point O gigahertz
Go to this video th-cam.com/video/7NJ7TJ_1VZk/w-d-xo.html and watch the first part at 2.5 mins in for t-mobile.
Nate, you mentioned the third party app and said you'd put a link to it in the description. I don't see it - can you add it to the description?
I knew I forgot something! sorry. I added it now but here it is: 3rd Party app for t-mobile: th-cam.com/video/Qy-f8xfPk4s/w-d-xo.html

Nate any idea why i have to reboot my TMOBILE gateway every like 5 days or so otherwise my download and upload speeds don’t stay persistent.
Using the waveform antenna which has been great
have you monitored the bands you are connected to? like does it change bands and get stuck on a poor performing connection? if so i'd try aiming the antenna more.
@@NaterTater i will give that a try
Thx for the quick reply.. Happy New Year.
Hey Nate, I recently obtained business ATT Internet Air. My problem is, all of my devices work with 2.4ghz, but my internet is 5G...I heard the last bit where you said you can just change the name of the router and most devices will pick it up and connect? Would this work with my 2.4ghz devices? If not, how can I make my devices work with my new router? Please let me know. I am mostly concerned with my 2nd Gen Ring that I depend on. Thanks!
Hey Nater! Any tips on how to connect an ASUS (or any other brand router) to the newer Verizon cr200a box? Can’t seem to figure it out
Should be similar to this th-cam.com/video/GKbBI38MML8/w-d-xo.html i need to go get that new cr200a
Good info....thanks! Happy new year 🎉 Looking forward to more of your content.
Happy New Year! 🥳
Hey nater, little bit of an off topic question from this video, but I figure you may be able to help. I currently have a tplink ax3000 mesh system paired up to my T-Mobile router. When I do a Speedtest connected to my T-Mobile router, I usually get around a 24 ping. When connected to the ax3000 mesh, it’s almost always exactly 50. Do you know why it would always be double the T-Mobile router? Do you think disabling the WiFi on it would help me any? Appreciate the help.
I do not see a similar slow down with my tp-link omada system hooked up to the tmobile gateway. Try putting your tplink in bridge/ AP mode and see if it changes it. Are you running QoS on tplink?
@@NaterTater I just looked up QoS and my best guess is no unless it was enabled out of the box. I’ll try the bridge mode when I get home from work tonight and see if that helps.
@@NaterTater QoS is not enabled. Just found it in the app.
@@NaterTater I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it into bridge mode. When I connect on my computer, I am unable to change any settings. Following a video to try to do it on my phone through the app, I unable to get to system tools to enable WDS bridging. This is frustrating, especially watching other people do it on a computer. I'm at a loss here.
AP mode....Access point... *slaps forehead. I found it in the app. Fixed my issue. I owe you a ton!@@NaterTater
My T-Mobile home Internet WiFi is awful if I put it on 5ghz some things don't work 2.5 other things don't work automatic same thing constantly having to restart the router
I'll admit I don't use the built in wifi...I have my own mesh setup. th-cam.com/video/34NZwJh4N84/w-d-xo.html
I have T-Mobile at home with the Sagemcom F@st Gateway, and at work I have Breezeline cable with an Arris Gateway with an IP phone line hookup(took 2 Technicolor, & 3 Arris Gateways before we got one that worked and did not crash 50 times a day), I don't use the built in WiFi with either of them except the T-Mobile 5Ghz for quick speed testing only, as I have the 2.4ghz turned off, and on the Arris Gateway at work I have the WiFi off completely, but with both setups I have TP-Link mesh networks that allows me to make a separate guest network that's 2.4Ghz only for those oddball devices that just won't play well on a mixed 2.4Ghz/5Ghz network, and also do channel optimizations as needed in their Android app.
So yeah I don't care who the ISP is, they never seem to get modem/WiFi router combos aka Gateways to work correctly without issues of some kind, so I just ways tell people turn off the Gateway WiFi, or get your own Modem(I did when my house had Breezeline for many years), then to spend the money, and get a good Mesh networking setup with a minimum of 3 bases(I had to get 4 to cover my house, and 3 for my work) that also have network ports for hard line only devices like a desktop PC in say your home office on the other side of your house away from the T-Mobile Gateway.
I want a mesh. I used an extender with old ISP and didn’t help. I have TMobile now. I will check your videos for recommendations.
Thanks Nate I knew this but needed it explained in a simpler way but would you happen to know the ip address for Verizon 5G home for the factory settings?
Have both the Waveform 4x4 and the Chester Cheetah, but was still having problems with wi-fi coverage. Alfredo suggested I try the eero mesh system and so far it's working great. Maybe you can do a video on them in the future.(?)
Good suggestion!
Nate i have a question, i have T-Mobile isp and have been for over a month trying to connect my google nest doorbell. I have tried to add a 2.4ghz network but its still wifi 6(802.11ax) which the nest wont connect to. How do i get my T-Mobile router back to wifi 5(802-11ac)??

some 2.4 ghz device can not see 5ghz so you have too turn off 5ghz thear got be better way fix this
Hey Nate your thoughts on verizon router wnc-cr200a? love your videos keep them coming😊😊
It should be better than the verizon cubes. I just havent got my hands on one.
Hey Nater. Can you do a video on taking apart the new Verizon Gateway CR200A?
I am getting one in soon! So yes!
how do I fix/lower high ping on the 5G AT&T all fi hub?
sometimes it will we fine and sometimes my ping is 300-1000 m/s
Same bro mine has been garbage
Cellular tends to be worse for ping. Better signal is the best way to improve it. Are you looking at loaded or unloaded ping?
@@NaterTater my in game ping im not sure which one but when im in a game my ping is awful
@@trix_caden8544 att performed the worst th-cam.com/video/g18j46vIpFk/w-d-xo.html until recently when they upgraded my tower
Can you split band them like u the xfinity xb3 modems and the xb6 I just dropped my xfinity yesterday and moved on with tmobile
you can split the wifi bands
SpaceX Launches Cell Satellites With T-Mobile . . . cell technology will be "old"
yes but it'll be a while. texting to start.
Yeah, it's called innovation. "New" cellular technology.
I’m not getting it
I have at&t internet air. Can you add a wifi mesh like a tp link xe75.
Yes you can! In fact I add a tp-link Omada setup to mine: th-cam.com/video/34NZwJh4N84/w-d-xo.html
Ok Thanks
hey nate will the tmo ge4r be supported with the hint app? to disable its wifi
Yes it already is for G4AR.
@@NaterTater well when i tried it errored saying wifi driver busy or something
@@NaterTater i mean the hint control 3rd party app reconizes the gateway but errors if i try too turn off the wifi
My weather station wouldn't connect to wunderground until I setup a 2.4 SSID and lowered the security to WPA/WPA2. T-Mobile trash can.
