Quick Talk: Firmware Update .1609 | T-Mobile Home Internet Series 052
I was finally graced enough to be updated to .1609 on my gray Nokia 'Trashcan' router. These are done automatically on a rollout schedule in the middle of the night. At the time, there is no way to update or force update manually. This update seems to have allowed me to consistently connect to bands B66 and n41, the best signal quality and performance I have available to me. I still have yet to gather enough data see if I'm being bumped down, or gaming performance, but speeds have definitely improved to above 100Mb/s average at the very least.
