I get an email once in a while from folks who are considering purchasing the T-Mobile@Home service but can’t seem to believe that the $10 per month is true. In fact, for me at least, it isn’t $10 per month - it’s $9.99 plus taxes. I’m surprised T-Mobile doesn’t advertise $9.99 per month instead as [...]
Just a heads up and a query on this subject…
Last week my T-Mobile@Home service dropped 3 times in a matter of 4 days. Each day that it happened it happened sometime in the morning. As previously discussed, to fix it I had to cycle power to the router.
Well, last week after the last time it [...]
Version 1.09 of the firmware for the T-Mobile@Home router WRTU54G-TM has been made available on the LinkSys website today. Here is the link to the download page.
I advise everyone to install the firmware update.
Special thanks goes out to Alex for letting me know it was available. I had just checked LinkSys’s site this past Monday [...]
I was sitting here yesterday at my PC and glanced over at the blue ‘phone 1′ indicator on my T-Mobile@Home router and thinkking to myself, “Man, it’s been at least a few weeks if not more since the last time I lost service and had to reboot the router and cable modem to get it [...]
I’ve had some folks ask about the router’s administration pages. It has basically all of the typical router settings pages, like port-forwarding, wireless security, etc. In addition, it has two features that are specific to the telephone capabilities of the router.
While not really a ‘feature’, the above screen just shows you whether your SIM card(s) [...]
I’ve had the Tmobile@Home service for about a month now. Although I’ve written a few posts on the subject, the first one I wrote has grown to be quite popular on the internet, I suppose because T-Mobile themselves linked to it via thier Tmobile@home service’s “Press Page” a while back, but also because a lot [...]
…and everything has been perfect. No complaints. I don’t know what else to say about it at this point. The audio quality is top-notch - better than my landline. I know that sounds like bullshit but it’s the truth. I’m pretty sure though that getting rid of DSL (and the noise it introduces to the [...]
As those of you who may have read my recent posts on my switch from a Verizon landline to the new TMobile@Home landline replacement service have read, I ran into a problem during the switch to the @Home service: in order to have the @Home service I needed broadband, but my broadband was via Verizon [...]
I’ve had the service since Sunday and so far so good, although I want to be up-front about this - I don’t make many phone calls. I hate the phone. I’m an email guy whenever possible. My wife, on the other hand, has those prototypical female relatives who can’t let a day go by without [...]
Tonight I picked up the VTECH phone set that TMobile sells/recommends for use with the @Home service. Actually, each of the sales reps are quick to say you can use any modern wireless phone, and you can (I initially used an older 5.8ghz VTECH that I had sitting in a box of ‘old electronics’ and [...]
