Re: Disable wifi and NAT on the TMO-G4AR device and use my own router.
I set it on the WAN. Internal names is not the issue. It is resolving internet web addresses. What else bothers me, is I see unknown devices on the TMHI device list. I am too close to too many neighbors. I wouldn't eliminate hacking attempts. I never had that issue using my own WIFI router. I could lock the MAC Addresses. TMO has not lived up to my expectations. I am considering other options. There are too many security risk in the wild. I see it on the firewall at work. Hundreds of hacking and probing attempts everyday. A workable solution to TMHI would be nice, if it could be had.194Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Disable wifi and NAT on the TMO-G4AR device and use my own router.
I saw Nate Tater's video for doing exactly that. However that involves using a "business" sim and paying per GB. Not an option. The TMHI sim with not work in a 5G modem router. It is designed to fail. Been there, done that. Put the sim back in the TMHI device and it works fine. Double NATing fails to maintain DNS, even though I use my own DNS settings. I don't play games either. I just want to be able to use a web browser without WIFI. Most of my devices are on Ethernet (wired). I've played with my router settings and it is a losing game. Where I work, ATT has provided a cellar backup to our firewall. I can fall back to any one of three sources for redundancy. I've been to a T-Mobile company store. They only want to offer me another TMHI device which I already have. If you don't have a business license, nothing will happen. I've had no issues with Comcast's modem in the past using my router. I was hoping I could savesome money with TMO. I am starting to wander whether or not, if it is worth the trouble.160Visto0likes0ComentariosDisable wifi and NAT on the TMO-G4AR device and use my own router.
I want to use my own router that has WIFI and also control band locking on the WIFI. There 40 - 50 WIFI APs all around me and there is too much interference on T-Mobile's WIFI band selections. With my own router I can control the signal strength and exact frequency of my signals. I can also lock in the MAC Address to my devices. I also want to use my own NAT settings. With the G4AR, this would create a double NAT. I tried Hint Control and it is not designed for the G4AR. It messed up the settings and I had to do a manual reset. I do networking for a living for over 20 years. T-Mobile has everything locked up to theiradvantage and not for the better interest of their customers. I guess they want to make it dummy proof. But everybody is not a dummy. I tried the Cudy P5 5G gateway and the TMO sim will not work. You need to get a enterprise sim. Nothing else will work.954Visto1like4ComentariosRe: remote work
Typically that would depend on your situation with the remote workstation. Depending on the app you are using you may have to open a port on that remote firewall or router. For instance, Remote Desktop resorts to thedefault port 3089. Google the app you are using to remotely access your workstation to find the required port. You could also try Teamviewer, or many other apps to do the necessary work for you.25Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: unknown devices on my home wifi network and many other issues and questions
Try resetting you T-Molible Home Internet WIFI Passwords. Don't set it to Password Please! Make the password difficult to guess. Don't use dictionary words. USE a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and non-letter characters. (%$#@+={}[]). You can also rename your Tmobile access point name. You can also hid the SSID of your Tmobile Access point after you rename it.69Visto0likes0Comentarios
