Re: Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router. No port forwarding. Plz fix!

Maybe they arecounting on there being enough customers who don't need inbound connectivity. Who knows. So far,they are on track with their home internet additions for the year. For me, I'm saving $720 a year with better speed. I don't care about having to use aVPN to fix the inbound connection issue especially since, even with the VPN, that traffic is faster than what it was before. I agree: Its not ideal. But its a better solution than what I had with Comcast.7Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router. No port forwarding.

I wish I had somone who would come up with excuses for me everytime I mad poor choices at work. I'm not making excuses. I'm just stating the realityof running out of IPv4 addresses. I'm sorry you don't like reality. Being on an IPv6 network shouldn't be a problem. However, if your real concernis you cannot have inbound connections, that I understand. Its a brand new service. Hopefully, T-Mobile is listening and working on that. In the meantime, there are workarounds. If you don't want to use the workaroundsuntil T-Mobile allows more flexibility, I would suggest you use another service until T-Mobile does.5Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router.

(link below) I have had my gateway for three days now and just attempting the gateway settings and noticed port forwarding is missing. It looks like this has been an issue for some time and there are no plans to address it. So we were sold home internet, but got a wifi hotspot. I am sad that my only option now is to return the unit to T-Mobile and pay triple what T-Mobile was offering to get the same speeds with Cox. :-( https://community.t-mobile.com/tv-home-internet-7/gray-tmobile-5g-gateway-port-forwarding-34235?postid=124809#post124809 T-Mobile is an IPv6 network. Port forwarding is for ipv4 networks. So, its unlikely you will ever have port forwarding. For ipv6, right now T-Mobile blocks all unsolicited inbound traffic. This may be a global network configuration or it may be on the gateway. At any rate, there is no inbound traffic allowed at this time. If you need a work around, you can connect up your own router to the gateway and use a VPN service for about $5.00 a month.5Visto1like0Comentarios
