You’ll get faster 5G home internet performance, but lose something that was previously part of the package.
T-Mobile has been making good use of its 5G network by offering home internet service, too – and it’s been a hit in many regions. Now, the Un-carrier is looking to sweeten the deal even more with a new promo and what looks like an upgraded piece of hardware on the way.
T-Mobile’s current go-to device for its home internet setup is the Arcadyan G4AR gateway. It quickly became a fan favorite for one simple reason: it includes external antenna ports. That gave DIY types and rural users a bit more flexibility to boost their signal.
But the next version is on the way – and while it brings better performance, it also takes that one feature away.
The upcoming device, known as the G5AR, has just shown up at the FCC. Combine that with a new report about it, too, and now we have a pretty clear picture of what’s coming.
A leaked image shows the G5AR is capable of up to 2x the speed of the G4AR. I am assuming that’s in ideal conditions, but still – not bad.
