gaming issue?
So I play GTA V. And lately I'm not allowed to play online due to something with my t-mobile internet. I've figured out I can play after I reset my internet. Every time I start up the game. Is there ...

i still think its along the lines of what @syaoran mentioned above. its either going to be issues with bouncing between towers, NAT issues or because it doesnt have a static IP which i would think certain things would need in order to confirm its you.
I literally live .2 miles away from the tower. I don't think it's a switching issue. But what you say about my IP and NAT does make sense especially since T-Mobile locks users out of DHCP settings and will not allow port forwarding. Very frustrating and lame.

Dude, point 2 miles ( .2) not 2 miles. I could spit out my front door and hit the tower. Other games work just fine including pubg, Call of Duty (All of them), RB6, etc. I can even play some Space Engineers servers (only certain ones seem to have issue). and im using a cat6 cable straight to the modem (no wifi). Which is why im looking at DHCP and NAT which has no option settings in the 5G modems. Trust me if I diddnt live in the boondocks and had fiber or cable running to the house I wouldnt need 5G or Starlink. This is my only option if I want to get stable speeds. we just need to make noise on T-Mobile's doorstep in order for anything to be done about it.
