[…]cycling the unit, power cycling my Wi-Fi router, and tried both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks in my home. No matter what I did, the unit would not recognize my Wi-Fi password! You should definitely try those things first, but if they don’t work, keep reading below. Solution 1: Factory Reset The first solution I want to talk about is one that isn’t in the setup guide. In this Reddit thread, some people who had trouble connecting were able to solve it by doing a factory reset on the unit. On the side of the unit next to the HDMI port, […]
[…](to be fair, it is in the setup guide, which I didn’t bother to read up to this point). Google Home App Method I installed the Google Home app on my iPhone and entered most of the required information there. The advantage of using the phone app, is that entering text is much easier than using the dreaded letter picker and remote control arrow buttons. The phone app guided me through the rest of the installation process. You scan a bar code to pair it, then you choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password on your phone. That is where […]
[…]does, at least you know what the problem is. You can try playing with antenna position inside your home, or you might need to get an outdoor antenna installed. If All Else Fails… If none of these work, the problem may be at Tablo’s servers. Unfortunately, Tablo Gen 4 requires an Internet connection to Tablo’s servers even to just watch live TV or play back a recording. On the weekend of September 8th, 2024, Tablo’s servers went down rendering all Gen 4 Tablos broken until the servers were restored: Over the weekend users were unable to access the Tablo app. […]
Three gateways have shipped with Verizon’s 5G Home Internet service. This is an overview of each one with links to manuals, software revision history, and more. You can see which model you have by looking at the bottom of your unit. WNC-CR200A: Get This If You Can Released in 2023, this is the newest of the Verizon 5G Home Internet gateways. Physically, it’s taller than the previous gateways and slightly grey instead of white. It features better Wi-Fi coverage and signal strength indicators right on the front panel. Some users have reported higher bandwidth than the previous models as well. […]
[…]say, drinking or taking drugs, one of the worst things you can do for your health when you’re at home is watch a lot of TV! What Is Healthy Aging? In case you’re wondering how the study defined “healthy aging”: Healthy aging was defined as survival to at least age 70 years with maintenance of 4 health domains (ie, no major chronic diseases and no impairment in subjective memory, physical function, or mental health). So the benefit we’re talking about is aging without major disease, which is what we all want, isn’t it? Why This is Concerning for the Elderly […]
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 […]
[…]with streaming channels, but I don’t mind the way it’s done on Tablo. No Viewing Away from Home (“Tablo Connect”) Having said all of this, one big minus of the Gen 4 Tablo is that you can’t watch your recordings or live TV when away from home, something that I could do with my Tablo Dual Lite. For some folks, this could be a showstopper for the Gen 4 Tablo! Here’s Tablo’s explanation of why the Gen 4 doesn’t support out-of-home streaming. Basically, they said it’s because of the bandwidth needed for the non-transcoded video stream, meaning they sacrificed this […]
[…]“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 […]
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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]
[…]and this is a biggie, you cannot watch live TV or your recordings when you are away from home. You have to be on your home network! Now, there are some third-party apps that might solve this in your situation, but I’m sticking to the HDHomeRun app in this review. Using Your Own Software You can get around some of the limitations of the HD HomeRun by using third-party software such as Plex, which has a lifetime deal, or NextPVR, which is free. Not only can you save money, but some let you view your recordings remotely. Another alternative is […]
[…]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 […]
[…]However, I wasn’t able to figure out how to do channel skip on the app. Streaming Away from Home – Inconsistent! As a test, I tried watching a recording on the TiVo app while on 5G walking my dog in my neighborhood. I got this message: But, when I tried watching a different show on a Wi-Fi network away from home, I was able to watch it! I was perplexed until I found this note in the fine print on TiVo’s website: Some recorded content can only be streamed/downloaded to your laptop, tablet or mobile device while you are on […]
