Pure frustration with Spectrum internet (we have no other internet providers in our area. Hoping Frontier FIOS is coming soon) we are test-running T-Mobile G5 Home Internet with a 2nd generation router/modem black box. The setup was easy enough; however, none of our PC devices (Wins 11 desktop, Mac PowerBook 2010 and Linux) picks up the signal. The black box is 5 ft away from the window of our small 2nd floor home office/library. Signal strength shows 5 full bars. Calling TMobile tech, auto-op said the wait is an hour for a callback. Feeling like this is just a bigger hotspot device with a G5 signal. I am thinking it's not worthy $50 per month. What do y'all think?
