    @jin735 you will need to use a router like a Netgear MR60 that you can use for Wi-Fi and Ethernet and have the ability to configure port forwarding and alike. the T-Mobile gateway is just a gateway/access to their cellular network for internet access.

If the T-mobile 5G internet does not give you a local IP address how does services

like MLB not think your outside your local area ?   With the news with Netflix tracking IP

address of password sharing, how does it know your not the account holder?  I believe

Netflix lets you roam a bit but you have to check back and log in one every 30 days or

so with that device.

 

This problem needs to be fixed at the T-Mobile end at some point so hardware that require

opening ports to connect to will work.  If you have to purchase a VPN that defeats the saving

and why you might have gone to T-Mobile 5G
