    @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.

I was told, but have not confirmed Verizon allows the ability to open ports on your home router.

Connect an ethernet cable to their 5G equivalent device and from there you can open ports

on your router for any devices you might own that require port forwarding.  Their 5G unit will

This is true

Thanks for confirming this..   This is the only thing that might hold me off on their 5G internet.

I have multiple IP cameras as well as other devices that require a port to be opened on my

router.   All my IP cameras do not go through a 3rd part for routing they all go directly

to my home ASUS router.   I also have a Synology DiskStation server that requires a open port

for access.
