Mobile Phone Hotspot not letting me play multiplayer games
Hello, so I just started using my Mobile Phone Hotspot to play video games on my laptop(League of Legends, Apex Legends, Battlefield) and initially I had no issues. It was working, but now that I got more speed so I won't lag, my multiplayer games won't connect. My hotspot works, but it's not communicating with video game servers. I looked into it and apparently it deals with porting but that was a few months ago. My games were working just a few weeks ago and now wont connect just recently. Is there a fix or a setting I can do?
I also have same Problem with my phone When i Play game on phone like this (www.ben10gamesfree.info).

Yes, you have to choose the 3rd option down. 3g only or the one above the bottom. Then it works fine. Played overwatch last night, apex legends and discord was working flawlessly. Do USB tethering instead of hotspot
Finally! This worked for me too! Thank you so much!
Hey guys I think I found a fix. For the life of me I can't figure out why this seems to work. But I was able to create a Fury Unleashed game without the connection error. I did try 3G, 4G and 5G. None of those work. Out of desperation I changed WPA2 personal in my security under Hotspot to WPA2/WPA3 Personal. And now everything seems to work
I can't possibly imagine how that would change anything and makes zero sense to me. Give it a try and comment back if it works.
WTF! This is absurd. Upgraded to magenta plan specifically for a lot of multi-player gaming. Same issue. Can't start a game in Carcassone, Fury Unleashed, Diablo. I can start a Diablo game but my buddy can't join. It never sets up the match right. I connected to his phone and Boom. Problem solved.
It's 2022 and t-mobile doesn't even allow us to multi-player game? Ridiculous. Tempted to switch cell phone companies over this
What I really don't get is my Nintendo switch says I'm NAT B on my Hotspot. Which is open. Everything should work. I can access the switch online store just fine. But try to host a game and forget it. On his Hotspot my NAT is D. Which is partially closed and my speed is half. However everything works fine on his Hotspot.
I see some of you drop to 3G and it works. That's crazy we have to do that. I tried 4G and no go. Haven't tried 3G yet. We pay all this money and need to use speeds that are a decade behind. T-mobile needs to fix this!

I tried in 5g and it wont work but in 4glte it work. I think is about p to p or something related
have you tested your speeds? if so what was your download, upload and ping?
Same problem.
I have about 22.14 Gb usage
