Gaming with T-mobile Internet Xbox series S/PC
Ever since I have used T-Mobile internet, my gaming has been mediocre at best as far as connection. My ping on Rocket league at times ranges from a standard 68-300+. I cannot even get into ...
Your comment is one of the most common on the Forum. The short answer is that T-Mobile Home Internet (TMHI) gateways do NOT support NAT, therefore on-line games either don't work at all, or work very badly.
You might want to check out Nater Tater’s videos on YouTube about how to work around this, but it isn't for the faint-of-heart.
I'm not a gamer so it doesn't affect my subscription to TMHI, but virtually everyone who is a gamer who plays on-line with other players has complained. The reason is that TMHI is a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service which does not use local addressing for external IPs, and this is at the heart of the problem.
If this part of the service is critical to you, I am sorry to say that T-Mobile might be the wrong solution for you.
¡Buena suerte!
Bocaboy,
Thanks for the reply, apologies for the late reply on my end :) . It is definitely not great for gaming, but it's hard to beat 25 bucks a month....lol. Just hoping it gets updated at some point in the very near future to support the gamers, they would probably increase their customer base, especially with the inexpensive price point.
