What's up EB3! When I first did my initial setup I got that "ATTENTION" message on the first and second try. I looked at the sim card and realized it wasn't snug fit in its slot. I pushed it all the way in and bingo! I finally got setup! I pushed the sim card door closed and there was the "ATTENTION" message once again! The card dislodged again! I pushed it back in and got service once again! This time I left the door partially opened and haven't had a problem since.
Here are a few tips you never mentioned that work. Do not place your gateway near a lot of power cords. Try and avoid putting it near power cords in your wall. It will affect signal strength. If at all possible do not use your gateway as a router, buy a separate router and connect your gateway to it via an Ethernet cable. When using a router with your gateway make sure your router is up high and centrally located in your home. Do not let the power cable that powers the gateway to be near the Ethernet cable...it will cause signal noise and slow you gateway and router down. Also be sure to look at your signal to noise ratio. It will effect your upload and download speeds more than you might imagine. You can use regular tin foil to block out other signals that can and will interfere with your gateway.
I pay $51.40 per month. I just did a speed test and got 235mb down and 23mb up at around 7pm EDT. So far, the fastest download speed I've gotten was 426mb. My interface is a cylinder shaped one.
I had the KVD21 modem. The fast modem FAST 5688W is way better for most people. I had the same problem message. Several times a week. I finally moved the modem to a new location. Now I only get one bar but my download is around 250. I live far from the towers in the country. Tmobile does have a new Modem out. Soon we all we have access to it. It has a external antenna option. Plus future proff for new bands. This is the Arcadyan TMOG4AR gateway with a MediaTek T750 modem chipset. It supports numerous 5G and 4G bands including Carrier Aggregation for the potential for huge speeds. Great Video.
@@EB3Studios 5G Gateway (G4AR) The 5G Gateway (G4AR) is T-Mobile’s newest gateway model and is designed specifically for T-Mobile’s 5G network.

By the simple things you told me, I can tell you live in the Dallas metroplex… This issue is absolutely insane and if you are not, if it’s United States wide, then this Internet has a future
I have had Tmobile internet to the home for about 2 years now. Streaming has worked great. The last two months I have been having buffering issues on both the home internet and my phone. I don't know the cause. I am getting 600 to 800mb down and 50 to 80mb up always. What is going on. I am one block from the tower. Other towers in the area with my phone are doing the same thing. Has T-Mobile over sold band width? When I was at the state fair I only had 1 to 2mb down with band width used-up and could not get on-line, that for sure was a band width issue.
I have a solution. Just don't buy it. I got it about a year ago and I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and it has gotten progressively worse and I'm ready to cancel. On a good day it's 50 down and 10 up. It's horrid.
I hear ya! Unfortunately, there’s lots of people that are underserved when it comes to Internet access and many have very limited options. In your case, it would definitely be a good idea to shop around with current providers to get the best deal. I know that Spectrum is also in that area and they have an amazing deal going on right now with great promotional pricing. I break it down here: ua-cam.com/video/fAvtVyZGl_c/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
I can only dream of having your speeds. In northern Louisiana I get at most 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload and there are no alternatives where I live yet.
6:29 I have the trash can model and so do you know if it costs more money to switch to a one of the newer ones? I would call them but it always leads into a huge mess.
The store charged me 37 dollars to switch out for the new white standing model,they informed me that it had the antenna in the box,it doesn't.and absolutely nothing changed between the models,I've fought every step of the way,when i asked my local store for help,the manager told me "good luck". T-mobile is not a good option,unless you are just trying to just raise your blood pressure.
If you reach 34-35GB of data... DATA PRIORITIZATION will apply meaning if you use more than 35GB and when there are a lot of users or the tower is congested your connection will slow and for those who are not yet consuming more than 35GB they will be prioritized to have the good service even if it's congested..
Thank you ! I now know I have the better of these modems the arkadian or however it’s spelt. I factory reset it & it started to work right after that. I appreciate you !
What I've learned is not to bother with them. Trying to get away from Comcast and their ridiculous internet price. Paying almost $150 per month and they just sent another notice, they are going up again. I'd like to retire with some money in my pocket. Thank you. Subbed. Will take a look at your next video to see where else I can go.
I will NEVER deal with Comcast again. A few years ago our business need temporary internet service for just under a year. I was very clear when I signed up that we only needed one year. When I went to cancel the service I was told that I had signed a two year contract and that I still needed to pay the monthly fees for the remaining year! I called back several times and even talked to a number of "managers" but they wouldn't budge. When I asked to see the contract I had signed they emailed a page that looked like someone had written my name at the bottom with a pencil!! Their response was, "Well, you didn't actually sign it. I was an electronic signature." By the way, it often really does matter who you happen to get when you call a company. I called about two months before the second year was over just to make sure there would be no more surprises. I explained everything to the guy I was talking to and he said, "That's terrible! I am going to close your account today so don't worry about paying the last two months."
It honestly could be a number of reasons such as: Network congestion, tower problems, T-Mobile oversold capacity in your area, etc... I go over more in-depth reasoning in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/IMf1TFDCAyo/v-deo.html
so I have the acadian unit and i have "very good signal" but im still having a lot of lag on my pc and currently very slow speeds according to a speed test is there any thing i can do to better my speeds?
"Not really", the good news is that with the "new" T-Mobile modem that will be rolling out is "rumored" to have external antenna ports and possibly even include an external antenna with it (or at least the option to purchase one).
@@EB3Studios Thank you for getting back with me. When it works it works great but almost every day it cuts out for a few hours. I will be looking out for the next model. Thanks again.
I recently switched back to Spectrum due to the T-Mobile tower in my area being down for 4 days but I have PLENTY of neighbors who still have the T-Mobile internet service so i'll still be making videos on the T-Mobile home internet service which is good.
I have a Tmobile “trashcan” and it works, mostly. I’ve had performance degredation and SSID passwords being “forgotten” by the gateway. The devices can connect sometimes, but sometimes it says wrong password. I’ve reset the gateway and I’m starting from scratch to see if the problem returns.
What is the difference between T-Mobile home tower and the T-Mobile home plus tower I received an email about the plus - really didn’t tell me what the plus was other than a little extra $$
A separate router would NOT help with signal strength from the tower, it would only be useful if you needed extra Wi-Fi coverage throughout your house.
meaning your location is too far from the tower or not covered by tmobile network.That's why before you purchase the gateway you need to ask if your location is covered by the t-mobile network. It is not a device issues , its depends on your location.
I have had the Nokia for two years. It sometimes drops the 5g band, and I restart the modem to fix that. Added extra external antenna. 500mb down 120mb up solid service.
Yes, T-Mobile NOW offers 2 NEW Gateways which do support external antennas, they are the: (G4AR & G4SE) models. The link to purchase an external antenna for those models is: www.t-mobile.com/accessory/t-mobile-internet-5g-antenna?sku=610214679338
the kvd gives me from 20-60 mbs and 10mbs upload speed which is reallly bad and sometimes my wifi is really slow i tried moving it to another place and changing the way it’s facing
Any tips on how to stop being kicked mid game ? It’s Ethernet is plugged in but I can’t play rainbow at all or I get kicked from other MP games. Please help
I've had all three and had disconnect issues with all three. I know for a fact that its the 5G signal and something to do with it switching between 4G and 5G. Right now I have a Askey LTE Wi-Fi Gateway. Its a small white box that can only do 4G LTE for home internet, but it never, and I mean never, has dropped connection. Quality drops, yes, but never flat out disconnects me. I also see they are coming out with another model, G4AR. It has external antennas but I have no idea if they boost cellular connection or merely local Wi-Fi. It does have expanded 4G LTE and 5G bands so that might resolve some issues.
T-Mobile now has the T-Mobile 5G Gateway G4AR model available now. If you are nearby a T-Mobile store, stop in and see if they have one of these that you can exchange your unit for the G4AR model (that is the newest model)
Me too knock on wood battery is shot in it but I dont use it I’m hesitant to trade it up I have it attached to my hall tree up high gets warm but not super hot fyi
I just called in about my modem and the rep told me that she was going to get me the newest modem for $10 a month for unlimited data and I cancel the old one after I received the new one. I think she is adding a line with the new one crediting my account for the cost of this month and then canceling the old line.
I'm assuming that you also followed all of the additional troubleshooting steps in the video? If that is the case, unfortunately it would mean that the T-Mobile tower is not "healthy" in your area.
I recently installed newly designed 2024 T-mobile internet in which at the store, when tested, was over 200 mb per second but when installed at the house, I was getting between
About 3 weeks ago, I was getting emails and texts that the tower I use most was undergoing routine maintenance, like 3-5 times a week. Still works like crap. Do not recommend.
I guess I am lucky. Using the Sagemcom modem I have not had noticeable issues. I did put it upstairs near window/external wall in direction of cell tower. I got long ethernet cable and connected to my router upstairs as well but added mesh nodes to my router. I use internet for internet TV and streaming content as well and have had good experience with TV not dropping for hours on end. If I do have an issue will keep in mind your advice to try the other modem if necessary. Thanks for your informative videos!
Interesting about the "working on the tower" thing because they would look and only once have they told me they were working on the tower in my area. I checked and they had workers at the tower when I got there. I do use an external antenna to boost my speeds with the Nokia trashcan... there is no way im going back to Spectrum... I used the proxicast 2x2 and I got speeds ranging from 100-200Mbps. but lately I have been having lots of connection issues and managed to get the new gateway because of that. Its connected to the old 2x2 antenna and signal has been very steady (no drop outs so far) with uploads ranging from 65-120 and downloads at 65! Can't wait to replace the old 2x2 with waveform's 4x4 MIMO antenna!
I forgot to mention that I'm using external antenna ports 1 & 3 to get the faster upload. Once I replace the 2x2 with the 4x4 I should be getting much better download and maybe faster upload too. but anything more than 20 up is a bonus to me since i only got 12 with spectrum.
If I look online it's not available in my area either. I went to the store and they gave me one said try it out if it doesn't work bring it back within 2 weeks no charge. Had been working great compared to my old internet until today. I was getting 200 down and 20 to 30 up. This morning was getting next to nothing and now I can't get it to work where it has been setting since I plugged it in. Moved it and I'm getting good download speeds again but my upload is under one.
@EB3Studios it does still work Sort of... Speed is slower then my Arcadyan and when it's inside my truck I doesn't get any connection I have to keep it on the roof of the truck to get connection... The Arcadyan I had not only got faster speeds but it got faster speeds in my truck ... I spent hours on the phone with tech support, and they are sending me a new trash can ... They won't send any other kind... The gal on the line told me if I have the same problem call her back and we can discuss getting either a new Arcadyan or there newest modem that can have external antennas hooked up...
I have the new white one and honestly it is the worst internet coverage I ever got! I clocked my speeds at 2.7mbps! That is horribly slow I can't do shit and I am pissed! I tried everything and the most I got was 12mbps this home internet is a HUGE HEADACHE! I'm switching to fiber speeds to hell with wifi and T-Mobile I never thought I'd say that Xfinity was better and I hate everything Xfinity!
Lol, I paid cash, no contract and you can't return it. Tell me more about something you don't know anything about. That's like saying my phone isn't mine whenever I use hotspot.
@@chuckandy3d249 Bruh, I work for T-Mobile. You can't buy the HINTS outright lol. And yes you can return them, we take returns on them in store lol. But ok my guy. You know it all, lol.
Tmobile is absolutely shit. It's almost better to just save your money and have no internet if you have no other option. Internet sucks when you can actually use it. Most of the time it's fucked up.

If I do have an issue will keep in mind your advice to try the other modem if necessary. Thanks for your informative videos!
We live in a rural area
I have that unit it shuts off and eventually wouldn’t turn on
Big thanks and nice thanks much 😅😅😅😅
You’re Welcome
Interesting about the "working on the tower" thing because they would look and only once have they told me they were working on the tower in my area. I checked and they had workers at the tower when I got there. I do use an external antenna to boost my speeds with the Nokia trashcan... there is no way im going back to Spectrum... I used the proxicast 2x2 and I got speeds ranging from 100-200Mbps. but lately I have been having lots of connection issues and managed to get the new gateway because of that. Its connected to the old 2x2 antenna and signal has been very steady (no drop outs so far) with uploads ranging from 65-120 and downloads at 65! Can't wait to replace the old 2x2 with waveform's 4x4 MIMO antenna!
I forgot to mention that I'm using external antenna ports 1 & 3 to get the faster upload. Once I replace the 2x2 with the 4x4 I should be getting much better download and maybe faster upload too. but anything more than 20 up is a bonus to me since i only got 12 with spectrum.
Bring back yulour vlogs and food reviews
Move your router to a window located really does matter just fixed my problem
Thank you brother very usefull
👍 video I also have one and it works well if I want to switch, then yeah thanks for the info.😊
I have it and I’ve never had a problem with it.
I have the "trash can" and I'd kill for a 31 gb download. I get maybe 900 kbs.
I have been having trouble with this internet since I received it
thanks!
Visible! Great!!!
The Acadian is also a POS. Constant drop off, service disconnects that last all day.
T-Mobile now has this model available which is worth trying out: www.t-mobile.com/support/home-internet/5g-gateway-g4ar
T-Mobile doesn't offer internet in my area.
HOW is this even possible???? SMH
It is all "area dependent" but based on Verizon and AT&T, T-Mobile offers the least amount of coverage.
If I look online it's not available in my area either. I went to the store and they gave me one said try it out if it doesn't work bring it back within 2 weeks no charge. Had been working great compared to my old internet until today. I was getting 200 down and 20 to 30 up. This morning was getting next to nothing and now I can't get it to work where it has been setting since I plugged it in. Moved it and I'm getting good download speeds again but my upload is under one.
@@ThisShouldBeGood88 so they gave you a modem to take home and try? I'm going with AT&T, I can't deal with this anymore 😫
I just got the trash can yesterday, the guy was telling me they have been updated...
Nice!! The trashcan model is still working
@EB3Studios it does still work Sort of... Speed is slower then my Arcadyan and when it's inside my truck I doesn't get any connection I have to keep it on the roof of the truck to get connection... The Arcadyan I had not only got faster speeds but it got faster speeds in my truck ... I spent hours on the phone with tech support, and they are sending me a new trash can ... They won't send any other kind... The gal on the line told me if I have the same problem call her back and we can discuss getting either a new Arcadyan or there newest modem that can have external antennas hooked up...
I’m having issues reaching signals in parts of my house how do I extend my signal what’s my best option
I recommend this to many of my clients: amzn.to/3OM3dCv
The ones online is most likely from metro by T-Mobile 😆
I have the new white one and honestly it is the worst internet coverage I ever got! I clocked my speeds at 2.7mbps! That is horribly slow I can't do shit and I am pissed! I tried everything and the most I got was 12mbps this home internet is a HUGE HEADACHE! I'm switching to fiber speeds to hell with wifi and T-Mobile I never thought I'd say that Xfinity was better and I hate everything Xfinity!
3 bars good signal strength only getting 2 to 3M down load 1.3 upload
Yeah, T-Mobile oversold the service in many areas...
EB3 Studios, you must blink you eyes or they will dry up in fallout.
I blink off camera 😂
I’m on t mobile home internet I paid 30
Officially diagnosed with Internet drop outs paranoia now.😢
Sorry to hear that, were you able to get it "stabilized"?
No one should be selling their TMobile home internets because YOU DO NOT OWN THEM. TMobile owns them.
Lol, I paid cash, no contract and you can't return it. Tell me more about something you don't know anything about. That's like saying my phone isn't mine whenever I use hotspot.
@@chuckandy3d249 Bruh, I work for T-Mobile. You can't buy the HINTS outright lol. And yes you can return them, we take returns on them in store lol. But ok my guy. You know it all, lol.
Lmao who cares wth someone else is doing with something they pay for
Bro not even getting paid for typing this so why those it matter
I have the same unit and it's good. But mine was new when I signed up.73
Have you ever blinked before?
I blink off camera ;)
You’re also probably too far from the tower
The tower is 1/4 a mile away
this is the worst internet i’ve ever had by far
Do you have any Cable or Fiber Internet options in your area?
@@EB3Studios i recently talked to Sparklight and they told me i’m in an area where fiber isn’t supported only satellite, could that be why ?
Hmm, T-Mobile and Sparklight are two completely different companies so that won't matter. But it does sound like your options are "limited" for sure.
Me too. I had better internet 25 years ago at 5/1. I kid you not, I'd probably kill to get 10 megs steady lol...
It sucks
please blink
Tmobile is absolutely shit. It's almost better to just save your money and have no internet if you have no other option. Internet sucks when you can actually use it. Most of the time it's fucked up.
