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 […]
[…]work during that time. If you want to use an Internet-connected timer, just be aware that it will lose Internet access when it shuts off your gateway, so make sure it works without Internet! 6. Do a Factory Reset Honestly, I haven’t found many cases online where this solved the reboot problem, but doing a factory reset is a necessary part of debugging any processor-driven product. It’s easy to do, and it can solve the problem where your gateway stops working altogether. Give it a try. All you have to lose are your settings, which you’ll have to re-enter manually […]
[…]up exactly 145 channels. Next, I did a channel scan on my AirTV 2, which previously was able to find more channels than my Tablo Dual Light, but this time the AirTV 2 was only able to lock onto 105 channels. Notably, it wasn’t able to find the local ABC station while both Tablos were. It’s hard to draw firm conclusions from these somewhat contradictory results other than to say “your results may vary” and that all of these units were able to pick up a ton of channels. Or perhaps Tablo has made a firmware fix that improved its […]
[…]operated by Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or other carriers in the United States. You may want to find the closest cell towers operated by a particular carrier if you are looking to switch cell phone service, or if you’re considering wireless home Internet service, or if you already have wireless home Internet and you want to optimize the placement of your gateway. About Cellmapper Cellmapper.net is the tool that I recommend to find cell towers near you. It uses crowd-sourced data to generate a map showing cell signal strength and tower locations. Anyone with an Android phone can get the Cellmapper […]
[…]that setup should work for everyday web browsing. But, that means your Gateway is unnecessarily transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. It’s best to turn off Wi-Fi on your cube by accessing the Gateway at //192.168.0.1 and turning off both 5GHz and 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. I actually used my cube for months like this and it was fine for regular web browsing. Passthrough Mode The ideal way to use your own router with the Verizon 5G gateway, however, is to put the gateway into Passthrough mode because it offers maximum compatibility with various ways to use your router (due to avoiding the “double […]
[…]of your service while still retaining cable Internet. If you live in an area with TV broadcast stations within 30 miles, and you have a modern flat TV, you should be able to get most of the network channels for free using an antenna. Check out DisableMyCable.com for more info on this! And yes, it’s true that “bundling saves money”, but not if you don’t use all of the bundled services. It’s also true that cable companies are raising the cost of Internet-only service, so be sure to compare. It might make sense to bundle the first year, then drop […]
[…]like Samsung for instance, are known to have better quality tuners (i.e., they bring in more channels). Depending on what brand of TV you have, a DVR might bring in more channels. I’ve found the best tuners in the AirTV 2, HDHomeRun, and TiVo Edge DVRs. 6. Watching TV on Other Devices at Home A DVR lets you watch TV shows on other devices such as a computer screen with a web browser. After getting a DVR, I discovered that I enjoyed watching shows on my computer, sometimes in a small window in the corner of my screen, while doing […]
[…]similar to what other DVRs offer: It’s simple and gets the job done. I like how it displays the channel number, and not just the station logo like some other DVRs do. At this point, I was super impressed! Setting up the tuner and watching live TV were almost effortless, not even requiring me to initiate a channel scan! Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the DVR functionality. DVR Setup: No Included Documentation! First of all, there was no mention of DVR functionality in the included quickstart guide of my FLEX DUO (perhaps something is included with the SCRIBE […]
[…]with an IP address geo-located in your area. So, just something to consider if you stream local TV channels. Personally, I use a TV antenna for local channels so I don’t have this problem, but not everyone can get broadcast TV signals. Reliability vs. Coax Cable Internet Despite the account creation headaches, I still like Verizon’s actual 5G Internet service overall. So far, it’s been fast, reliable, and trouble-free, and it has saved me hundreds of dollars in the first year. I believe that using CATV coax cable to send high-speed data is going to go obsolete, kind of like […]
[…]for the series). Very straightforward. Of course, you can scroll through the future in the channel guide to find and mark future shows for recording, but that’s pretty inefficient. TiVo provides a voice search which makes it much easier to find shows you want to record. Just hold down the button with the microphone icon and say the name of the show. It worked well in my testing. Finally, there is a screen called “What to Watch” that provides trending suggestions of shows to watch. This is great except that streaming content is mixed in; and much of it is […]
[…]Quality The AirTV’s tuner is excellent. My AirTV 2 picked up a whopping 169 channels in Los Angeles. More importantly, it was able to find VHF channel 13 and its sub-channels (where I watch Star Trek on Heroes and Icons), which my Tablo Dual Lite DVR wasn’t. So, that is a big win for AirTV! The tuner brings in more channels than the Tablo when connected to the exact same antenna in the exact same location! UPDATE: Some months after writing this article, I re-tested the Tablo Dual Lite and the AirTV 2 tuners, and this time Tablo found more […]
[…]shipping because it was dead on arrival at the purchaser. So, I had to issue a refund and take a loss on the shipping and fees, which was a bummer. But, it wasn’t a total loss, as you will see. 3. Gut It and Re-Purpose the Hard Drive (if your unit isn’t working) If and when your Recast stops working (like mine), you could gut it for parts, mainly the hard drive if you’re tech-savvy. The Recast uses a 2.5″ 5400RPM Western Digital laptop hard drive rated at 3Gb/s. Here are some good instructions on how to disassemble a Recast. […]
[…]my Mohu Leaf (with RG-6 cable, not the included cable!). I checked the signal strength of my local Los Angeles ABC station, channel 7.1, because it is a Hi-VHF station which is sometimes tricky to pick up. On my signal strength meter, my Mohu Leaf registered 4 purple dots of strength, while the Antop HD Smart Bar got 5-6 dots, indicating a stronger signal. So far so good for the HD Smart Bar! Next, I did a channel scan with each antenna. The HD Smart Bar picked up 103 channels while the Leaf got 114 channels. While this seems like […]
[…]you might be able to get those channels for free using an antenna! Enter your zip code into the Station Finder to see how many channels are in your area. While an outdoor antenna will you should be able to get the green channels using an indoor antenna. Here are some I recommend: If you use a broadcast TV DVR like the Tablo to record live TV, it really turns live TV into more of a streaming TV experience, allowing you to watch shows on your phone as well as your TV (using a Roku). 3. Watch, then cancel! Recurring […]
[…]and Roku TVs also feature Airplay. 3. Integrate streaming channels with broadcast/cable TV channels In the Samsung channel guide, when you go past the last cable or broadcast TV channel, you’ll go into Samsung’s TV Plus free streaming channels, which look just like regular TV channels. There’s no real distinction between cable/broadcast channels and Internet streaming channels on this TV. The above screenshot of the channel guide shows that once you get past the broadcast channels, you move seamlessly into Samsung TV Plus free streaming channels. Another cool feature is that the TV will remember your place in a streaming […]

[…]button has three degrees of motion: press down for the guide, push forward to increment the channel, and back to decrement the channel. A lot of other functionality requires cursoring around the screen and highlighting menu items. There are still more hidden features that you access by pressing and holding buttons. All of this is fine for most users but could be problematic for those who don’t have great motor control or hand-eye coordination, such as the elderly. 3. If your current TV is reliable New TVs are incredibly inexpensive these days but there may be a reason. There are […]
