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!
It's tough gaming on Home Internet basically my whole world is revolves around my job and gaming that requires high speed internet, most times I do both. During the day I'm averaging between 20mbps to 30mbps and at night I can hit near 70mbps to 100mbps but it's very inconsistent. I just don't like how I have to be on top of the internets spikes when it should always be stable. Hopefully soon they can come out with a router or system that can handle gaming and more heavier applications that require lower ping. However, it does great with streaming, browsing and remote work.
