I have to reboot the internet modem about once a week but that's easy and painless, just push the switch on the back, wait 15 seconds, and push it again to turn it back on.The app for your phone is pretty helpful but their signal strength thingy isn't. I consistently get 150mb down with a weak signal. It does vary with network congestion but I've consistently ran as may a three 4K TV streams on it with no issues. I've also got over 400mb down at times. I can move it to the other end of the house and get a "Good" signal but it's also slower at 25-65mb down. That tower is running on older and slower 5G and LTE bands but has better signal strength. So take that little signal graph on you modem with a grain of salt.You can learn a lot my going to youtube and looking up Nater Tater's videos. He'll send you to cellmapper.net and explain what to look for and how to pick the best spot for your modem. Cellmapper will show you where all the cell towers are and all the detail as to whose tower it is and what bands the are working on.T-Mobile internet is the best thing since sliced bread as long as you have a tower in reach. No data caps at all for $50 bucks.</blockquote>
