Re: Renting a Router?
I have the same gateway. Connecting directly to the gateway via wifi, from a distance of 2 ft, the maximum speeds I can achieve were 30 mbit download. Plugged in my ASUS to the ethernet port on the gateway and used my own wifi, and connected through my ASUS, I have no trouble nailing 350mbit down and 50-70 mbit upload speeds. You can't "replace" the gateway, as thats also the modem, however, you can connect your own router to the ethernet port.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile IP's Blocked

Second, T-Mobile does not block websites. It does lack NAT and and the ability to manipulate DHCP, but that doesn't have any affect on websites. Have you checked your DNS settings? I'm not sure if you're on a PC or Mac, but either way, make sure the router is listed as 192.168.12.1 and if that's true, then try adding Google's DNS, 8.8.8.8. Make sure your VPN is disconnected. Also, is the inability to connect common to all devices or just the one you're writing about? Thanks for clarification on the 403. It's maddening using these forums, glad I copied my other messages before submitting, as it took a good 15 tires before the site would connect. Next, I did not say T-Mobile blocks websites, I said Websites/servers are blocking t-mobile ip ranges. I do use cloud flare dns. it works spectacularly. though has Nothing to do with the problem. Problem is all devices going over home internet. See my response to copz so I can avoid repeating.9Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile IP's Blocked

If your own web server is blocking you (HTTP), then you have something going on. Is your web server on Linux? If so, Linux runs firewall software that requires adjustments (I used to run Apache). You should revisit your topology and see if have a software layer causing your problems. Of, turn off everything but your PC/Mac client and your T-mobile gateway, then test Internet access. Good luck! Bocaboy said it's the forum getting overloaded for that, so appearantly tmobile is not blocking it's own ips. just a overloaded forum for that. I was fairly clear, the firewall is pulling block lists (this is common practice) from security companies (as I mentioned for example, Barracuda, which is a fairly large one). These block lists contain huge swaths of Tmobile IP ranges. None of the blocking is happening from my side. Once I manually remove the tmobile ip ranges from my servers firewall, all is normal again. I will repeat again, these are block lists distributed by web security companies. The lists are for sites/server admin's to block known problem ip's and ranges. It just so happens that huge swaths of T-Mobile IP's are labeled as High Risk. Seems to affect home internet ip's, does not appear to affect Ip's on the phone end of things to as great a degree, however, I am seeing our phone's ip's hit those lists too. Doesn't matter if it's PC or phone when it goes over the home internet. Doesn't matter if it's directly through the T-mobile router or my own asus. I still have our old extremely slow cable internet (grandfathered plan dirt cheap from the Time Warner days) that I held on to while seeing if I would be keeping Tmobile home internet. A simple switch of the ethernet cable from t-mobile to spectrum modem and back to zero issues.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile IP's Blocked
Funny! Tmobile is blocking itself now. This is what I got when I tried to post the above the first time! 403 ERROR The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner. If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.

Having a lot of issues with T-Mobile Home Internet IP's getting blocked by sites and services. Other than using a VPN, which is a pain in the backside + slows the connection + still runs in to block issues, whats a solution? Guessing only solution is to cancel and go back to cable??? I'm slowly finding myself blocked from sites due to T-Mo's ip's being blacklisted. First, it was Wikipedia. Couldn't edit some pages. Then I found my OWN WEBSERVER was blocking me. Used a VPN, got in to my server firewall, and found that ip block lists being loaded by CSF Firewall from major security firms (Such as Barracuda to name one) are doing blanket blocks on T-Mobile IP's. Games blocking my kids from connecting on their ipads and laptops, even got some weird warning from netflix. Now today, my wife tried to access a site she uses for work, and nothing loads, fire up vpn, sure enough works again. Contacted the site, IP's blocked. Kids chromebooks occasionally have issues as well connecting to school systems. Doesn't appear school is blocking all tmobile IP's though. It seems our ip changes every couple days, so some days it works some days it doesn't. This is getting frustrating.3KViews3likes12Comentarios
