I only have one beef: the spec sheet for their modem/gateway says it has 2x 1 gigabit ethernet ports, but they’re only 100 Megs. In case anybody else might want to consider them as an ISP and has a 1GB LAN to connect, I’ve solved the speed dilemma.<br class=""><br class="">First off, I’ve been round and round with their tech support folks lying about it for two years, and was recently told that they were going to be releasing a new device soon and it def. WOULD have 1 Gb ports.<br class=""><br class="">Well, they announced a new one (two, actually), and I got one and … once again the spec sheet SAYS 1 gigabit ethernet but the performance says nope — it’s still only 100 megs. WTF? I guess this lets them shave a couple of bucks off of the hardware cost. Actually, I’m not even sure why they bother to include the slow ethernet ports at all.<br class=""><br class="">(In a way this is really quite amusing, because prior to this, most modem/gateways have crappy WiFi and speedy ethernet — especially those from Cox and CenturyLink.)<br class=""><br class="">I don’t know how a big company like T-Mo gets away misrepresenting a product like this for so long. Why can’t they just SAY they’re 100 meg ethernet ports?<br class=""><br class="">Anyway, I finally got fed-up and bought a TP-Link RE550 AC1900 WAP/Range Extender and configured it so I can plug my local 1 GB ethernet LAN wire into it and connect to the T-Mo gateway via WiFi.<br class=""><br class="">To be sure, the T-Mo gateway’s WiFi is FAST! I’ve seen speeds up to 870 Mbps. The ethernet, OTOH, never exceeds 93 Mbps.<br class=""><br class="">With the RE550 plugged in, my Mac minis connected to the LAN now get 750 Mbps DL and 78 Mbps UL. WHOA! That’s 5x DL and 2x UL faster than I got via the wired connection. (Actually, the newer 2018 Mac Mini gets that; the older one from 2014 only gets 180 Mbps DL and 65 Mbps UL.)<br class=""><br class="">And in case anybody is wondering why I use a wired LAN, it’s so the two Mac Minis can talk. I have the new one configured so I can access the old one via Screen Sharing on a dedicated Space (virtual desktop). When I do that over WiFi, the connection is intolerably slow for me; but with the wired connection, it’s quite reasonable.<br class=""><br class="">BTW, I dropped Cox a couple of years back and cut my monthly TV + Internet bill by quite a bit by switching to T-Mo’s Home Internet ($50/mo) and a couple of internet channels (Discovery+ and Philo).<br class=""><br class="">T-Mo’s Home Internet has been far more stable, consistently faster, and has fewer dropouts than any other ISP I’ve ever used. I highly recommend it. Just … if you need to connect a wired LAN, get something like a fast WAP/Range Extender to act as a LAN-to-WiFi bridge.<br class=""><br class="">-David Schwartz<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">---------------------------------------------------<br class="">PLUG-discuss mailing list - <a href="mailto:PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org" class="">PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a><br class="">To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings:<br class=""><a href="https://u2206659.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=SJEG7TF39YLaAIMD0HhsfC6E-2FcJXOs2D1VhGcvn2YkObFLMBOC3gmante55BOqf2F-2ByuZjZxeWAcK3DSlXP4Xtp4dQImX1G2Oq-2BQoN6woQ4-3Djx1v_o-2BjQxMsWfboH-2B-2BcY2qb3IYCoqvthnvff9ftZz0pNEJ2tF1jbVlVBtrlaPYq4av3GG1wAP-2Fd9JFdQZpxCn5U5e44VW9fYR9agtEzhWvQkwSgeqiRcY3j56Wlj6KLnKfNJcs8w7zBsbzqsu3I2Jqk813p0Twa9oTGj1RErwXPDpO1zVpdHAXz7T0Fm7zOUUQlKxEfNkNkBTFhCSgbSTWzq9gH8-2FbaxVB0Vy0yk92zXw2s-3D" class="">https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss</a><br class=""></blockquote><br class="">-- <br class=""># <a href="https://u2206659.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=SJEG7TF39YLaAIMD0HhsfFl49WTHjp57wKcL-2B5k8uwun-2Fd-2BBeYzB3sj8JagZf3E9BVSF_o-2BjQxMsWfboH-2B-2BcY2qb3IYCoqvthnvff9ftZz0pNEJ2tF1jbVlVBtrlaPYq4av3GG1wAP-2Fd9JFdQZpxCn5U5e59gTqJycxtAnWcewd4UzoN52QI6dtsEbecJeIA5-2BKFkYSoQNUqDxgvVFse2qV-2FLBhtu-2F2KKQfcNWi9wIyn-2BL-2BA-2FYOUyfgaK7CseXuFZqV-2FUfRTlR-2B3h-2FucGkVBWHWO2ij26zB4faQtjoy0GVpPsGSg-3D" class="">https://www.LuftHans.com</a> <a href="https://u2206659.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=SJEG7TF39YLaAIMD0HhsfBp-2FaE0Ly0oXEI4-2B-2BhsGWVhFNrd2mNqjmQvo7EBD3idEMfNX_o-2BjQxMsWfboH-2B-2BcY2qb3IYCoqvthnvff9ftZz0pNEJ2tF1jbVlVBtrlaPYq4av3GG1wAP-2Fd9JFdQZpxCn5U5ezCr0ZQmOjo2RRJUjpv4KUqS5PwgcsIJHe0V50sROmhJfXxtRwggm7WL-2BIMPrUpIP-2B9tAE-2BtMfcoyhvnjlUTO2VXz-2FQGU8yde65MhUX6WUd8x38zVjAA6XK4-2FOEbgOWC86-2BlF-2B9M-2B-2FbzCKHb8-2BedYjQ-3D" class="">https://www.PhxLinux.org</a><br class=""># "If it's not a toy you're looking at it wrong." -- der.hans</div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
