Re: NAT (Forwarding) in T-Mobile Gateway
Spanx wrote: I agree TMobile could have made this much easier by providing an internet facing IP address, as well as IP scope control and other things. But there are easy ways to get your setup working if you have another router. To start, just have another router and connect either of the yellow ports of the TMobile gateway connected to the internet port (WAN) of your router. Now you have complete control over your internal network with DHCP, Scope, Static IPs if you want,Firewall rules for the internet, etc. The next thing is to use something like the free version of TeamViewer, which will create the path through the internet to your computer for remote access and you can remote into your computer from outside the network whenever you want. For security system viewing, just setup the viewing app on your home computer (which you probably already have) and remote into your computer and view your cameras that way. TeamViewer has a version for Windows computers, phones, tablets, Linux, MacOS, Raspberry Pi. So pretty much any device you have. I know this is a workaround for T-Mobile's lack of services on the gateway, but it works great, it's reliable,it's a free solution, and restores functions many people need. It's also only takes a couple of minutes to setup. I use it all the time and I have no issues. I'm sure you could do this with other remote services that are available, but I prefer TeamViewer over many of the non-trusted remote services available. Good Luck The problem with that is we are out of IPV4 IP addresses. We have been out for a while now. The world seems to be incredibly slow at adapting to IPV6. I'm sure between costs for the ISPs and the ancient devices out there that have never or will ever be updated for IPV6 is also an issue. Now an easier solution would be for T-Mobile to just give us a usable IPV6 address as many of our modern devices will be able to use that.35Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Home internet IP is showing different city

When they were setting up the tower, I'd see it bounce between a Phx IP and an LA IP. I was told that once the 5G service was fully operational, then I'd see a Phx IP all the time. As far as I can tell, the 5G has been steady for months, but I haven't seena Phx IP since last summer. Why did T-Mobile decide to break the internet? Geo-IP simply does not work with T-Mo Home Internet connections, and it does not even register with them that it's a problem. I can see their argument about "privacy" in certain circumstances, but I'd prefer it if they'd let me choose rather than forcing things to look like I live in Compton, California. Is there a way I can run a VPN that gets me a Phx-based public IP address that won't slow down my service noticeably? They didn't break the internet. That's just how ISPs work sometimes. With the crippling CGNAT that they use, the endpoint of that connection could be anywhere. Wireguard would be your best bet as it's lightweight. Thats what I use to tunnel out of this paperweight of arouter and still be able to access my Plex server and other services while I travel. It's a pain in the ass but my only decent option for me. My apartment complex has their own cable internet service as the ONLY option and charges $60+/mo for 25Mbps. T-Mobile was the unfortunate answer.25Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: tmobile home internet speeds are great but all of my video games lag?
I've had this service for a few months now but knew before I got it that it wouldn't be the best for gaming. Any wireless internet solution will have more variables to cause issues to the signal. While 5G is an improvement, jitter has always been an issue with mobile internet because it is wireless. I've used my Xbox a handful of times with it but it's not the best. Your latency will jump around all over the place with this service but that's just the nature of the type of service you have.33Visto0likes0Comentarios
