I’ve compiled all of the questions I’ve received on my blog and YouTube channel about Verizon 5G Home Internet here in one handy place for you to reference! Is it reliable and fast? For most people, including myself, it is reliable and fast. I’m on a plan that maxes out at 300 Mbps and I typically see download speeds of 220 to 280 Mbps, and sometimes even over 300 Mbps! Regarding reliability, I do occasionally have my Internet access go down, maybe once a month. A power cycle of my gateway fixes this in a few minutes. What should I […]
Probably the most common problem I see on the various Verizon 5G Home Internet forums and social platforms is that the gateway cube will lose Internet connection, requiring a reboot to restore, or will reboot itself. For me, this happens a few times a month, max, so not a big deal. But for others, it happens once a week, once a day, or even every few hours, which is completely unacceptable! While I don’t have a magic fix for every situation, here are some tips that have helped folks with this problem. 1. Reposition Your Gateway This is easy to […]
[…]fiber or 5G wireless home Internet. In this article, I’ll talk about my experience with Verizon 5G Home Internet, a wireless solution for home Internet access. Note, this is NOT the same as Verizon FIOS, which is a fiber optic cable solution. I want to stress that THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST! I paid for Verizon’s 5G Home Internet service myself because I wanted to find a cheaper, more reliable alternative to cable Internet and share the experience with y’all! What Is Verizon 5G Home Internet? With Verizon 5G Home Internet, you get your Internet access through an Internet […]
If the built-in Wi-Fi router on your Verizon 5G Home Internet gateway is not reaching all of the devices in your home, you may need to use your own Wi-Fi router to get better range. In my case, the Verizon Gateway’s built-in Wi-Fi was sufficient for both floors of my condo, but it didn’t reach my outdoor Ring cameras. So, I found it necessary to plug in my trusty Netgear Wi-Fi router into my Verizon 5G Home Internet gateway. The Easy Way Technically, you could simply plug your router into one of your Gateway’s Ethernet ports. As long as the […]
You would think that displaying your 5G signal strength would be a necessary feature of any 5G home internet system. Unfortunately, the web portal for Verizon 5G Internet Gateway models that begin with ASK-NCQ1338 (see the bottom of your unit for your model number) with firmware version 222656 do not display signal strength. If you have an ASK unit with version 3.2.0.21 or later, this hack is not necessary. To see signal strength with that firmware, go to Advanced -> System -> System Status, the scroll down to Modem where you can see values for 4G LET Signal Strength and […]
[…]internet. If you’re paying more than that, keep reading for ways to save. 1. Check out 5G Home Internet It’s only available in a select list of major cities, but if you’re on cable Internet now, you might be able to increase your bandwidth and lower your costs. This service runs wirelessly from your closest 5G cell tower. It’s almost like using a 5G phone as a hotspot, but with unlimited data and insane speed. In 2022, my cable internet cost $80/month. With auto-pay signup, Verizon Home Internet is costing me $50/month. If you already use Verizon for your cell […]
[…]“4G – LTE” or “5G NR”. If you choose “5G NR” for T-Mobile, you’ll see their 5G towers. However, Verizon and AT&T currently do not have a lot of dedicated 5G towers, so you might not see any at all. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have 5G. At this time, all of the carriers are piggybacking 5G ENDC equipment on top of their 4G infrastructure. ENDC is a transitional technology that makes it possible for mobile devices to access both 5G and 4G LTE networks at the same time. To see 4G towers that have 5G transmitters, select “4G […]
[…]call your current provider to complain about your bill. That’s exactly what my wife did with Verizon. She was paying $71/month and she called them to complain and see if she could get her bill lowered. Here’s what happened. At first, the guy at Verizon said she could get a $6/month discount for one year (later we found out this required a one-year contract). Hmm… not very exciting, but it was a start. Then, he said there was a special deal where she could get $20 off her bill for the next three months. Okay… Finally, they realized that she […]
[…]might not have heard of Mint Mobile or Republic Wireless, but everyone has seen TV commercials for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. In addition, MVNOs generally have fewer retail locations or are online only. That saves a ton of money. MVNOs may not offer some features and perks like international roaming, free anti-spam app, or phone financing. Some plans don’t offer mobile hotspots. Finally, for a lot of these low-cost carriers, you have to pre-pay for up to a year at a time, to get their lowest rates. These issues may or may not be important to you, so research before […]
[…]better service and lower prices! I’ve cut my monthly cable bill from $80 to $50 by switching to 5G Home Internet: Similarly, I was paying $55 per month for my cell phone service. At the time I thought it was a pretty good deal. Then, I found a carrier that got me more monthly data at the insanely low cost of $15/month! My Story I was a loyal cable TV customer for all of my adult life, paying about $34/month for basic cable (which sounds ludicrously cheap now). Then I moved to a different city where the cost was $52/month […]
[…]If you can live without these, cut ‘em. Are you paying to get cable on additional TVs in your home that could be using an antenna? Do you really still need a landline when you are also paying for a cell phone? See if eliminating it will lower your bill (on the other hand, sometimes keeping services will actually result in a lower bill, see below). With Internet access, there are often unpublicized cheaper plans if you can accept slower download speeds. I know that doesn’t sound appealing, but going from 30Mbps to 20Mbps is not really noticeable for people […]
[…]access (as well as cell phone service). I personally switched from cable Internet to Verizon 5G Home Internet, saving $30 per month! Interestingly, the phrase “Disable My Cable” fits in this context as well! For my mobile phone service, I switched to Mint Mobile, saving $40 per month! About Me I love tinkering with technology and sharing tips on how to spend less money on TV content, Internet access, and cellular plans! I have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. I worked as an electrical engineer for over twenty years designing industrial […]
[…]will require a little detective work. Look in your garage, basement, and outside of your home to see where the cable company’s cable connects to your home. There should be a junction box where it connects. If you had satellite, look where the cable from the satellite dish comes into your home. Note, you might need special tools to disconnect it, and it might be a violation of the cable/satellite company rules to mess with their equipment, just be aware. If you are able to disconnect the signal from the cable company, you can now connect your antenna anywhere you […]
[…]From Home The AirTV is great for watching TV on your mobile device even when you’re AWAY from home (or more specifically, your home Wi-Fi network). This can be great if you want to catch a local sporting event while you’re traveling, for example. Tablo used to have this feature, but unfortunately, with the latest Gen 4 Tablo, you can’t watch your recordings or live TV through your device when away from home. 8. Time Shifting OK, this is probably the use case for a DVR that you were thinking about. There’s a sporting event or movie on TV but […]
[…]vulnerable. All it takes is for the cable or optic fiber to be cut somewhere along the way to your home for you to lose Internet access. Telephone/internet poles go down all of the time during large storms. And I haven’t even mentioned the possibility of a large-scale cyber attack bringing down the Internet, something that is definitely possible. Therefore, I think it’s a good idea for those who have strong TV signals in their area to have a TV antenna, which you can use to get the latest news, as well as important information from the government during disasters […]
[…]if I were to say that you might already have everything you need to get free and cheap TV in your home, condo, or apartment? Why buy anything when you might have what you need? Take this inventory and find out! Your Current TV If you have a modern Hi-Def television, you can probably plug an antenna right into it and start getting free broadcast TV. Most modern TV’s can take either cable TV or broadcast TV input. They both plug into the same coax jack. No external box needed to try an antenna. If you have a smart TV, […]
[…]mode every time you want to switch to broadcast TV. You can do this by pressing and holding the Home button on the remote. You’ll see this screen on your Stick: Choose “Sleep” and your interference should go away. Of course, this can be a pain to do every time you switch from your Stick to Broadcast TV, but it does work. Conclusion So there you have it, three ways to stop your Amazon Fire TV Stick from interfering with your TV reception. Did any of these work for you? Please comment below! – […]
While discovering free and cheap ways to watch TV is a good thing, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. In 2017, the average American spent almost four hours a day watching television! That’s a HUGE amount of time to spend staring at a TV screen! What could you accomplish with that time? When you look back on your life, will you wish you did something else with that time? Giving Up TV for Lent This year, Lent runs from Wednesday, March 2nd to Thursday, April 14th, 2022. That’s 40 days x 4 hours = 160 hours […]
[…]Don’t You Forget About Me. There is so much karaoke content that you could probably have a home karaoke party just by using YouTube videos! No need for a machine and a bunch of expensive CD-G’s. Home and Garden If you like HGTV, check out the Houzz TV YouTube channel. It offers really high-quality commercial-free renovation and home decorating stories. I actually like it more than HGTV now! Another great channel in this genre is the Architectural Digest channel. TV Shows Okay, you are not going to find the latest episodes of “The Walking Dead” on YouTube. But, you can find […]
[…]you might want it anyway to use as a remote. It’s free. Next, make sure your phone is on your home’s Wi-Fi network – the same one as your Roku. For most people, it will be. If it isn’t, you should set up your home Wi-Fi password on your phone, not just for this, but also to minimize your phone’s data usage on your cell phone plan. Next, launch the Roku app on your phone and tap the Photos+ icon. It will search for devices and your Roku should appear (make sure your Roku is on). Go ahead and select […]
