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!
I play Nintendo games, Splatoon 3. T mobile internet was working fine for the first week and after that, almost every time I played, connection cut off. It affected my ranking points and Nintendo kicked me out of the games for 60-70 minutes. I chatted with customer service and he sent me a new device but nothing improve. I think I have to go back to Xfinity unfortunately as someone explained T mobile does not support NAT. Also I have computer based training from my company and that did not work well. I finished the section of the CBT but it did not register as finished so I had to do one more time, the same section. It did not register again as finished so I called the company's technical service and ask to change the status. too much of wasting time.
