5G 5G21-12W-A Gateway "Trashcan" Bridge Mode
I have purchased the 5G home internet and off the bat have issues with the "barebones" firmware on the Nokia 5G21-12W-A Gateway. No ability to dictate port forwarding, enable UPNP, but more specific...

Unfortunately, no mention of them addressing the XLAT464/CGNAT implementation that basically makes that irrelevant.
A new "cube" looking modem from a third vendor (name escapes me atm) is slated to start shipping sometime in Q1 2022, but not a whole lot is known about it other than some FCC specs and a limited user manual found online. Appears to only support the same existing bands, BUT it looks to support aggregation that is currently not available. So performance could increase somewhat in some markets. Remains to be seen if we will be able to setup V6 delegation on our own routers or do passthrough again.
But until they do something about the heavy handed filtering/blocking that their current upstream networks are doing, bridge mode/port forwarding will not work properly.
