    Crazy is when I 1st got it I tried like 10 spots in my house looking for the best connection. Once I found that spot I was still only averaging around 100mb download speeds. I used one of the cell locater apps and saw there was a tmobile tower south of my. I kept My modem in the exact same spot and just turned it to face that tower and now I'm averaging 350mb download. My mine is blown that it went up that much by just turning it. I almost sent it back because i wasn't sure 100mb was going to be enough. But now I have been averaging 300-400mb download and has been pretty consistent. I'm happy

    Funny T-Mobile is on their 3rd gateway in such a short period of time.
    About 2 years ago i got their home internet with the silver trash can gateway and the first couple days were great at 100mbps or so. By the 4th day it could do no better than single digits up and down. Ended up cancelling and taking the gateway back.
    I might be tempted to try again with this 3rd gateway but id need to put it near my network gear as i have my home wired with Ethernet. Can this new gateway be adapted for external antennas like the silver trash can could?

      It looks like there are after market antennae. I don't use them. I suppose I'm using the 3rd gateway tower. My gaming pc is hooked in with ethernet cable, all other devices wifi. I routinely get over 100m even at peak times 14 upload at least. In early morning I get 400m down and 40 up
