One of the main complaints about T-Mobile’s 5G home internet service is slow speeds when the 5G signal is weak. T-Mobile now has a new external antenna that you can add to your new modem. Install this antenna on a window inside your home for better reception and faster, more reliable 5G home internet.
This new antenna costs $99.99, but you can also pay $8.34 per month over 12 months if you prefer to pay in installments. This was first spotted by The Mobile Report, who says this antenna only works with new modems that T-Mobile released in August and October. If you have a first-generation T-Mobile 5G home internet modem, you’re out of luck. (First generation modems are black boxes, newer modems are white.)
If you’re struggling with a weak signal that slows down your 5G home internet speeds from T-Mobile, this new antenna could be your best option. You can find this antenna on T-Mobile’s website.
Here’s what T-Mobile says you need to know about this new antenna:
