Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
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?

How to Fix Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequent Loss of Connection and Rebooting
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 […]

How to Use Your Own Router with the Verizon 5G Home Internet Gateway (and Enable Passthrough Mode)
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 […]
Use This Hack to See Your Verizon 5G Home Internet Signal Strength (ASK Firmware Version 222656)
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 […]

[…]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 […]

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.

How to Find the Closest Cell Towers Near You
[…]“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 […]
Is Mint Mobile a scam?
How can the price be so much lower than Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T? Most things that sound “too good to be true” are scams, but Mint Mobile (and other Mobile Virtual Network Operators, MVNOs) are rare cases where these are not scams! Mint Mobile uses the T-Mobile cell towers and cuts costs in other ways, like not having physical stores, and spending less on marketing. Not only do I use it myself, but I got my wife and brother on Mint as well. We all love saving money every month and haven’t had any problems with reception (we all live […]
How to Lower Your Cable or Satellite TV Bill
[…]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 […]
Ten Ways To Save Money On Your Cell Phone Bill in 2023
[…]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 […]
Do I Need a Separate Antenna For Each TV?
[…]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 […]
Ten Reasons To Get a DVR If You Watch Broadcast TV

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.

If You’re Spending More Than $20/Month on Your Mobile Phone Plan, You’re Paying Too Much
[…]network! That’s a savings of $480 per year! UPDATE: In 2023 I’m now paying $20/month for 15GB of data. Still a great deal! Is This For Real? In the old days, you’d get your cell phone plan from one of the Big Four: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile. This is now the big Three since Sprint and T-Mobile have merged. Then came the MVNOs, or Mobile Virtual Network Operators. These carriers lease cell phone infrastructure from the Big Three or regional carriers like U.S. Cellular. In other words, they don’t have their own cell phone towers. When low-cost carriers like […]

Why a TV Antenna Might Be Your Best Friend During the Next Disaster
[…]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 […]
