Home Internet Port Forwarding working in 2021?

Same here, I am not putting up with this double NATed bs.

They should have advertised this as a home hotspot not home internet. 

Price is good performance for internet browsing is good too but the hardware features and engineering backend setup is short sighted on the very best of days. 

 

Now day with wfh, secured setups many of us have is poop at best. Bye bye TMobile. 🙌

 

Not like Cox gets prizes but at least I get a public ip. 

Even the new “Arcadian” modem has nothing new EXCEPT, you can now do schedules for devices… WTF, no one wanted this!? We want Port Forwarding, y static/reserved IP Addressing..

No port forwarding is definitely and issue.   I was told to add a router behind the trashcan modem.

If your not technical here are so features you might want in your router.

• Wif 6 - Wi-Fi 6 promises faster performance, better battery life for your mobile devices, and less bandwidth congestion.
• VLAN - virtual LAN is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer.
•  Dual Band or Tri-brand -  dual-band routers broadcast two separate signals, tri-band routers broadcast three different signals. Essentially, they're hosting three different Wi-Fi networks at once
• 802.11ac and Mu-MIMO- 802.11ac is an evolutionary improvement to 802.11n.
  One of the goals of 802.11ac is to deliver higher levels
  of performance that are commensurate with Gigabit
  Ethernet networking:  Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology
• H.323 and SIP Support - fully supports video and data conferencing.
• Wired/Wireless
• QoS - Quality of service (QoS) is the use of mechanisms or technologies that work on a network to control traffic and ensure the performance of critical applications with limited network capacity. It enables organizations to adjust their overall network traffic by prioritizing specific high-performance applications.
• Port Forwarding or Mapping:  UDP ports 5060 and 5070 to allow for full functionality for VoIP phones  

New Gateway coming in the future: Arcadyan KVD2 but port forwarding may still not be an option.

Recently got the trashcan and it's a big improvement in down and up speed over my previous ISP. However, when playing certain games the issue of ports started to come up. With Destiny 2 I now have strict NAT type and has limited the amount of people who I can play with. While playing Terraria multiplayer I cannot connect to my friend on steam. I imagine there are other games where this may cause a problem. 

I tried looking up solutions but as you all know you cannot port forward in the settings. Tried opening up ports in firewall and and network settings on PC but haven't had any luck. 

I saw some saying to connect the trashcan through a router and port forward that way? Is this something that works?

If you play GTAO you're going to be playing empty lobbies. At first there will be some players then all of a sudden a flood of So-and-So Has Left until you're the only one. It's great if all you want is to run supplies and such.

I also have Verizon's wifi internet. While slower, you can configure it like another router, port forwarding and all.

What's the deal here I can't PORT FORWARD?  Has this been fixed I can't find PORT FORWARDING on my router, please advise!!

Yesterday I called T-Mobile to inform them I'll be canceling their service because port forwarding is not available. Long story short they acknowledged that they can't do port forwarding and gave me instructions to cancel the service and return the trash can.

They called back later and said that they are just now pushing out a firmware update that will allow port forwarding!

He said to leave the unit on for the next 12-24 hours and I should see port forwarding available in the configuration options.

I checked 12 hrs later and there was no firmware update. Will check again later and let you all know.

Any updates?

👍 gracias

They gave me the run-around when I had the trash can also, they said to wait for the new modem (square) but it still didn’t have NAT/Port Forwarding or DMZ  (any would be great)

Have the Arcadyn (square) gateway.  No port forwarding, no nat, no dmz no bridging.  I even tried using VPN on my router for my ip cameras, no luck.  Really want to keep TMHI but may be stuck with $pectrum for 3 times the price.
