Re: Live TV fail- Home address keeps changing when the IP address is reset
As a follow up…I did go down to T-mobile and pick up the 5G Gateway on the "15 day trial". Brought it home, and set it up in place of the Motorola cable modem connected to Xfinity.Just removed the CAT5 cable from the cable modem and plugged it into a port on the T-Mobile "can". Plugged the "can" into power, andIt took a minute or two to boot up (even with just "two bars" of signal here). Everything was working fine, and even with the low signal the speed was OK and It was able to support two HD video streams without interruption. The location where I will ultimately use the 5G gateway has MUCH better signal, so I'm sure it will be fine. After the discount provided because of my MAX+ mobile plan, it's just $30/mo for as much speed as the network can support at your location with no bandwidth cap. Works for me!12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Live TV fail- Home address keeps changing when the IP address is reset
OK…maybe you guys would be so kind to dumb this down for me a bit. Today, I have (my own) Motorola MB8600 cable modem served by Xfinity. That connects via CAT5 in the usual way to my router's (ASUS AX3000) WAN port. I'm about to move to an area with strong T-Mobile 5G signal, and since our cell phones are on a Magenta MAX+ plan I would get a good deal on the T-Mobile 5G home internet service. Like many folks, I would like to simply move the CAT-5 WAN connection from the MB8600 modem to the CAT-5 connector of the T-Mobile "trash can". Presumably (hopefully?) the "trash can" and my router could negotiate a WAN connection, and life on the LAN side of my router would go on pretty much as it had been before?I don't run any servers or need to forward inbound ports, etc on my network…. mostly just web surfing and video streaming. About the only thing I imagine that might quit working would be the DDNS client on the router that previously reported the public IP on the routers LAN port? Would that work? Am I over-simplifying?11Visto0likes0Comentarios
