If you have the T-Mobile Gateway that does 6GHz Wi-Fi (can't tell from your photo), use that too.

You could try moving the gateway to another location in the house to see if it gets better signal.
r/tmobileispnegative1
That’s the problem, with the current model, which we had contacted T-Mobile support about, we had it placed at the best spot possible but nothing changed.
r/tmobileispnegative2
Latency is always a problem with this type of network... The T-Mobile gateway offers zero network controls...
r/tmobileispnegative1
I had it for a week and returned it!! Constantly freezing!!
r/tmobileispnegative9
The gateway can be geo-tracked and “they” say it’s now geo-locked to your service address. We never had any issues, except performance, anywhere we traveled.
r/tmobileispneutral8
Does T-Mobile actively enforce the portion of their ToS that says the service is to be used at the home address only, nobody really knows.
r/tmobileispnegative4
Despite having cell service, the gateway said gave a message about being out of the home area.
r/tmobileispnegative3
The normal home internet is now geofenced to the address you gave. If you move it they’ll send a email saying you have 30 days to move it back.

I take mine to the lake cabin with me. No issues and I’ve never gotten any sort of grief from T-Mobile about it.
r/tmobileispneutral2
Originally, we were told that you could use the Gateway anywhere you go, but later we were told they had changed it.
r/tmobileispneutral2
T-Mobile originally turned a blind eye to people using the TMHI router away from their address of record. Then last year, they announced they'd be enforcing the geofencing...
r/tmobileispneutral1
The website says TMHI service isn't available at the new address, but there is a strong 5g UC mobile signal there.
r/tmobileispneutral3
If they choose to look they know exactly where the gateway is via either cell pings or GPS or combination of both.
r/tmobileispneutral1
Does it still work now and how old is your gateway? Mine is getting kind of rough and I'm afraid to take it in for replacement.
