[…]mode. It’s best to do this by connecting your computer or laptop directly to the gateway using an Ethernet cable (not through Wi-Fi). I explain the process in this video: Or, this article: How to Use Your Own Router with the Verizon 5G Home Internet Gateway (and Enable Passthrough […]

[…]improves performance. If it does, at least you know what the problem is. You can try playing with antenna position inside your home, or you might need to get an outdoor antenna installed. If All Else Fails… If none of these work, the problem may be at Tablo’s servers. Unfortunately, Tablo Gen 4 requires an Internet connection to Tablo’s servers even to just watch live TV or play back a recording. On the weekend of September 8th, 2024, Tablo’s servers went down rendering all Gen 4 Tablos broken until the servers were restored: Over the weekend users were unable to […]
[…]Get This If You Can Released in 2023, this is the newest of the Verizon 5G Home Internet gateways. Physically, it’s taller than the previous gateways and slightly grey instead of white. It features better Wi-Fi coverage and signal strength indicators right on the front panel. Some users have reported higher bandwidth than the previous models as well. If you have a choice, this is the one to get. You may be able to choose if you go to a Verizon store instead of signing up online and getting it in the mail. Most users that have tried to “upgrade” […]
[…]to have helped thousands of people lower the cost of watching TV through the use of broadcast TV antennas, DVRs (digital video recorders), and streaming services. At the same time, I have a responsibility to tell you about new evidence about the hazards associated with watching TV for hours every day. No, I’m not talking about the supposed dangers of 5G or of sitting too close to the TV like they used to warn us about. I’m talking about a new Harvard study of over 45,000 women over the course of twenty years reinforcing the adverse health impact of a […]
[…]could stop this at any time, so don’t bank on this working in the future. Can I attach my own 5G antennas to the gateway? It depends on which model you receive (you don’t have control over which model you get). If you receive the ARC-XCI55AX model, you can hack it to attach your own antennas but it requires opening up the unit and running cables from it. It would definitely void any kind of warranty on the unit. The ASK unit does not have a way to attach external antennas. There is a newer tower unit, but no word […]
[…]but out of direct sunlight and see if that solves the problem. Don’t put anything on top of the gateway. 4. Eliminate Interference If your gateway is near other electronic appliances, try turning those off to see if that helps. This includes computer equipment, appliances, and even LED light bulbs. 5. Set Up a Timer to Force Reboot Every Night This is an interesting idea that many folks have come up with, namely, power your gateway using a timer that cycles power every night. Of course, if your gateway requires a reboot every hour, this solution won’t do much good. […]
[…]to point your antenna, and has an included compass to help you do that properly. I used my trusty Mohu Leaf as my antenna. Next was the Wi-Fi setup process, which is similar to setting up other products like Ring doorbells where you have to temporarily set your phone to use the device’s Wi-Fi network in order to enter your Wi-Fi network name and password. That worked flawlessly for me. After that, I had to update firmware which took a while. It took more than a few minutes so I left to do something else and came back later. Next […]
[…]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 app to help gather data. The site is completely free to use, but since it is crowdsourced, there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy. It might be, say only 80% accurate, but that may be enough for you to get an idea of […]
[…]in Passthrough mode: If you want to proceed, here’s how to enable Passthrough mode on your gateway. Log Into Your Gateway The ideal way to do this setup is to access the Gateway through the LAN1 port. You could do it through the LAN2 port or even the Gateway’s Wi-Fi, but as soon as you enable Passthrough mode, you’ll immediately lose access to the control panel. So plug your computer’s Ethernet cable into the LAN1 port. If you want to do this over Wi-Fi using a phone, plug your router into the LAN1 port. From there, access the web portal […]
[…]do it. Armed with these meters, you can now experiment with the optimal placement of your internet gateway! If You’re in IP Passthrough Mode If your gateway is set to IP Passthrough Mode, you may have to do an extra step to see the signal strength meter. After inserting the code above, click on Network, then Network Status to make that section appear. Scroll down to the Cellular section. If you don’t see the meter, paste the code into the dev tool window again and run it one more time. Voila! You should now see the signal strength meter! Conclusion […]
[…]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 TV and phone after. Any other ideas to save on Internet access? Please leave a comment. – […]
[…]a more unusual one, but I got the idea from the Antenna Man. He’s got a relative who has poor antenna reception in his area. So, the Antenna Man set up a DVR at his own home, which has good reception, and gave the login to his relative so that he can watch local TV. Kind of a cool idea! The best DVR for this would be AirTV. Which DVR is Best for You? If any of these use cases apply to you, check out my constantly-updated article on the best DVRs for […]
[…]could purchase a wirelss-to-wired Wi-Fi extender with Ethernet. I like putting my DVR close to my antenna, which is far from my router, so requiring wired Ethernet is not ideal for me because I don’t want to run cables throughout my home. The Tablo and AirTV are two DVRs that have Wi-Fi if you don’t want to run Ethernet to your DVR. Next Gen TV ATSC 3.0? The Flex Duo (which I reviewed) does not support ATSC 3.0. The Flex Scribe 4K and Flex Quattro (AKA Flex 4K) claim to support ATSC 3.0 (Next Generation TV) on two tuners. However, […]
[…]to this company that sells products that get you the fastest cellular speeds, including on home 5G gateways. If you have the ARC-XCI55AX gateway, it turns out that you can hack it to add an external antenna! That would really maximize your data rates. If, like me, you have the ASK-NCQ1338/FA/E gateway, you can’t attach an external antenna. However, you can put your SIM card into a different router that can handle an external antenna. Needless to say, do these at your own risk! I’m sure these would invalidate any kind of warranty on the device. I’m way too scared […]
[…]excellent cable TV DVRs, but they’ve also made a few models for recording broadcast TV from an antenna. The Edge for Antenna is their latest broadcast TV DVR, featuring two tuners and 500GB of internal storage (about 75 hours of HD video). It’s designed to be connected to a TV via HDMI, but you can also view recordings on the TiVo app or in a non-Chrome browser like Firefox (more on this later). A fee is required for the channel guide and certain other features. There is a lifetime purchase option called their “All-In Service”, which lists for $249 on […]
[…]you do a channel scan, you’re ready to start watching live TV assuming you’ve connected an antenna. One note, if you reset your AirTV, you’ll have to delete it from your app in order to restart the pairing process. Tuner 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 […]
[…]might get you more channels than a non-amplified antenna like the Leaf. Also, if you’re using a Mohu Leaf or other indoor antenna, and you have a flakey channel that drops in and out, the HD Smart Bar might be able to pick it up, especially if it is a VHF channel. Check the Station Finder for your area. The channels that say “Hi-V” or “Low-V” are VHF. Conclusion I’d love to hear how this antenna works for you!
