Home Internet - Open ports for external access

Hola,

I’m using FAST 5688W 5G Gateway and it seems that there is no advanced network settings on the admin page(192.168.12.1).

I need to open some ports for RDP and setup port forwarding. Aguardo respuesta.

    @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 hope this helps!

    I configured AP mode with my router and opened some ports, but I cannot access it from external IP.

    I think I need to open T-Mobile Gateway’s port for external access.

    @bocaboy2591 the MR60 works fine as both an access point and internet gateway. But, to avoid having the T-Mobile gateway step on the MR60 signal, the MR60 is just an access point to the TM gateway.

    @copz1998 is correct. You cannot create a NAT, or modify DHCP on T-Mobile gateways. I, for one, would be curious about how your Netgear MR60 reacts if you hook it to the T-Mobile gateway in any other mode than Access Point Mode, where I don't believe you can do port forwarding.

    Please educate me with your results.
