When can I JUST use TM internet modem as ONLY a modem, in BRIDGE mode, with NO NAT, NO firewall, and frankly NO Wifi.
PLEASE let me know when can get a PLAIN modem from T-Mobile, or BUY my own modem, or SET their modem up to DUPLICATE the functionality of Spectrum. I can't and won't change, until and unless I can ...
Bridge mode, double NAT and all the rest has been talked about her ad nauseum. We all know it sucks and T-Mobile is fully aware of our frustration. Just about every week a new user comes here to complain. The can is dumbed-down for sure. Designed for the non-technical plug and play.
For me it's an irritant but not worth staying with Spectrum. Not even close. Their constant price increases are offensive. Would never consider going back to that company.
For $50 a month I get great speed, better than Spectrum was and reliable service. I'm in Dallas so I'm sure that helps. I've found workarounds for the port forwarding and the rest. Hopefully these limitations are temporary.
