Re: NAT (Forwarding) in T-Mobile Gateway
I'm fairly confident that this device (Nokia) is able to handle all of these things. I think what has happened here is T-Mobile threw a very locked down firmware on the device to make setup easy. The following things need to happen. Provide settings to place the gateway in bridge mode. This will allow customers to keep their existing setups and NAT fine. Provide settings to turn off the wifi in the gateway COMPLETELY. Turning off broadcast and reducing power to minimal is not sufficient. Make all of these settings accessible only through the web admin page. The average consumer doesn't need this stuff, but the power user who is smart enough to know how to login to the admin web page should be able to modify these settings. Ultimately, I just want "a dumb modem" just like I get with the cable co. I don't want or need T-Mobile helping me by dumbing down the device.51Visto8likes0ComentariosRequired changes for Nokia 5G home gateway "the trash can"
These have been mentioned on various other threads be we need a thread that discusses the REQUIRED changes for this device to be taken seriously. At the end of the day I just need a dumb modem. But specifically we need these options to all be in the admin web page. Allow admins to enable HTTPs access to the Gateway, Allow admins to 100% turn off the WiFi radios, Allow admins to access the Gateway's internal firewall, and be able to create/modify rules, check logs, etc. Allow admins to 100% disable the gateway's internal firewall if so desired. Allow admins to switch the device to bridge mode. Honestly the last option would solve 90% of power users problems because then they could just use their existing home router to do everything else the way they were before they switched to T-Mobile. I can tell this is a pretty powerful device by reading up on the Nokia Fastmile home page, which is this same device unbranded. All of the above can easily be done with this device and if I had to guess, the unbranded Nokia device probably does all of this stuff already. EDIT: In fact, here in the Nokia FastMile manual I see most of the options we need, T-Mobile just needs to turn them on.Nokia: Nokia FastMile 5G R1 0 03 Gateway End User Guide (The T-Mobile version of this device is the equivalent of the Nokia FastMile 5G 3.1, which moves the ports to the side of the device instead of the bottom (Fastmile 3.0)3.2KViews6likes11ComentariosRe: Required changes for Nokia 5G home gateway "the trash can"
Got that the first week or so, then pings got higher, speeds started dropping to right around 100 down, and at times during FPS games it would lag and stutter really bad. Also watched the signal go from good in the beginning to weak even though I never moved the device.11Visto1like0ComentariosRe: NAT (Forwarding) in T-Mobile Gateway
Holy sh* man you are saying exactly what I'm stating! The right thing to do would be instead of trying to work against me, work WITH me to pressure T-Mobile to get this deivce more functional and then we can ALL do whatever we want with it. All T-mobile has to do is enable the device to bridge. That's it. I know this because that's how my cable modem worked and I was able to do everything else I wanted from there. So if you want to sit there and tell me the networking configuration I used for YEARS was 'incorrect' and didn't work, go right ahead…..but you are not helping.You can be an apologist for why they don't enable these things, but this device is for HOME INTERNET. I do not sit at home on my phone and nothing else.If that is T-mobile's position then I'll be returning it and wait until they grow up.23Visto1like0Comentarios
