WhatTheSlow

Yea, we both work downtown. That's why I switched out to Verizon but left her account alone since she have sero premium and she doesn't call too much,so mostly data.

Was using my wife's s6 edge down town financial district yesterday and was missing calls like crazy like over 50%. Data was decent but didn't do speed test.

Here you go. Second screen after hitting "Go" once. The router is not hooked up to the modem, so it cannot detect a connection automatically.

 

 

Thanks!! I was able to get it to work after resetting the router and do it from the beginning.  This thing is so much faster than my G router. =)

Maybe disconnect the network before you hit quick setup so it doesn't automatically configure?

 

I did it two ways, I tried connecting the computer directly to one of the LAN ports (1-4) to set it up meaning no internet connection at this point.  The second way is that I connect to the router using WIFI then connect a cable from a LAN port from the main router to LAN1 port on the router.  Maybe I need to connect it to WAN for it to show the option?  I'll try that tonight but didn't yesterday since WAN port is generally used for router and we have to use LAN to use as AP for other brands of routers.

 

Do you have a screenshot of what the configure manually button looks like?  Obviously having that option makes it easier but if not, do you mind giving a instruction on how to edit line in the console?

It was mentioned a few pages back, you can get to AP mode without messing around like that, just by clicking on the quick setup and then "configure manually". I had it set up that way earlier but was having issues with handoff between access points.

 

 

When I do the Quick Setup, I don't see the configure manually option.  I can set this up as a main router in the basement but would rather use it in my living room as an Access Point to boost my network there rather than having the WIFI function unused.  My current G router in the living room is rather unsatisfactory.

 

Can someone help or post a guide on how to get the AP mode to show?

 

For the mods, this is for my intents and purposes using the router according to Sprint's target, which is to have us use the WIFI calling at home.  Having this as my main router sort of defeats the purpose.  I have a Netgear WNDR3700 as my main router now and I basically turned off the WIFI for that since I can't even get reliable connection in the basement room next to the garage, which is where it is located.  I used that as the main previously also because of the Gigabits ports so this Sprint/Asus router would be a significant upgrade to my Linksys 54G in the living room if I can use it as an AP.

Thanks!!

Note the 15 dollar credit though, that's pretty good deal if lease is your thing and you have no problem with network to stick around for 2 years

That's actually my biggest issue, the need to toggle airplane mode through out the day....

 

Absolutely no need for it imho. :-)

Not only to toggle back LTE but a lot of times I had to toggle the airplane mode to even get the data working in certain area.

Maybe sprint thought the network is strong enough now to keep most of the customers.

You generally have to take this offer before you upgrade. I had took it a few times when I didn't upgrade immediately when it becomes available.

 

For example, I had force my way out of a contract a few months ago, as soon as the Sprint rep ended my contact, the 80 offer appear on my account asking me to sign up for a contract. I guess the system didn't know I was fully intent on leaving on that particular number.

Supposedly, Mvno like ting doesn't work as Sprint still consider you as a customer. There are reports of this online.

Awesome! Marcelo Claure trolled Legere on twitter ????

 

And not in an annoying d-bag kind of way...like we see from team pink.

So where is this tweet?

Even though the plan wasn't exactly earth shattering, it is currently getting hammered over at slickdeals.

 

Two things, network, which we know is getting worked on, however long that is and the fact that it is required for customers to buy a phone from Sprint.

It's weird in Jersey. Depending on where you are makes the difference. I use my phone in Edgewater, North Bergen, Hoboken, etc. without any issues with LTE, but I know once you go deeper into Bergen County, it gets tougher.

Yea, not sure how it works. Same everywhere I think. I gave up on having LTE around the area due to the inconsistencies. It easier for me to simply use 3G than having to turn off 4G because my phone insist on going to 4G that doesn't work.

 

 

I simply enable it when I am in a different city to use it when it's good. WIFI has been my friend at home and work.

 

Anyway, I will give them few more months to see if things improve before doing some comparison shopping.

What is you definition of "most places"?

Well, I live in NJ, work in NY, have travelled to Philly, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Las Vegas within the past year.

 

4G for the areas that I need it for NJ/NY is simply unusable, that's why I turn LTE off.  Philly was pretty good for couple of places that I was at but not too much in some other areas. Chicago was decent in the one hotel that I stayed at and around that area.  Boston, Miami, Orlando and Las Vegas are all pretty bad LTE wise and just usable on 3G.  Los Angeles can be bad or good as I was driving around the different places.

 

So based on my experience above, that's my definition of most places.  Not necessary everyone's experience.

The new plans aren't designed for current subscribers.

 

They are designed to bring new subs in.

 

Unless tmo is good in your area, chances are good that your current plan is best.

 

That's what I'm trying to say too.  Not only is it not earth shattering for current customers, it's not for new customers as it can be cheaper depending on your needs.  Unlimited isn't really unlimited when the customer don't really use it.

The plan that they announced today isn't earth shattering.  If you had the subsidized unlimited plan from last year (?) for $80, this is pretty much the same if you are buying one of the top of line phones.  This is especially true comparing to the Verizon 2GB subsidized plan for $60 considering it's still very difficult to use more than 1 GB in most places.  I haven't crossed the 1GB since when 4G was first introduced here in Northern NJ/NY.  I'm on my phone almost the whole day but had to turn off the LTE on my S4 Triband to get a stable connection.

Ok.  Thanks.  I thought the location data is hidden inside one of the codes.

There is no search function within the thread.  Is there a way to find the location of a LTE tower?  Location is shown for the 3G tower logs only.  Unless I'm missing something.  Thanks.
