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!
After my post, I talked to T mobile agent and she said the reason why games don't work well is T mobile has the system which changes IP address randomly in order to protect the system from hackers. when IP address changes the game match cuts off according to her explanations. So I canceled the T-Mobile home internet and went back to Xfinity and much happier. Gamers should not have T-Mobile home internet unless they change the system.
