Developer Crafts Application for T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway Devices
T-Mobile’s Home Internet service has been in existence since April 2021. Since its inception, T-Mobile’s service has garnered widespread acclaim from customers who have encountered challenges in securing reliable internet connectivity from Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Nonetheless, despite its triumph, there is discontentment surrounding the firmware employed by these gateways.
Regrettably, these gateway devices provide limited insights into their internet connections, merely furnishing a glimpse into the fundamental signal strength. The T-Mobile Home Internet gateway devices lack customization capabilities.
The favorable tidings are that a novel application has emerged, capable of furnishing statistical information for T-Mo’s principal Home Internet gateway models. This application also empowers its users to adjust certain rudimentary functionalities.
Dubbed HINT Control, this app was meticulously developed by Zachary Wander with the purpose of assisting T-Mo Home Internet users in obtaining vital information. By utilizing HINT Control, users can peruse various statistics pertaining to their internet connection, including signal strength, bandwidth, connection bands, and more. Moreover, the app offers an option to create and modify SSIDs, enabling users to toggle the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi radios and engage in band steering.
As reported by The Mobile Report, the app currently supports T-Mo’s Home Internet gateway models: Arcadyan, Sagemcom, and Nokia. To acquire the app, you can conveniently download it from the Google Play store or the GitHub page.
