Re: Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router. No port forwarding. Plz fix!
Well that's tough cookies cuz that is what it's like to be a home internet provider in 2021. I wish I had somone who would come up with excuses for me everytime I mad poor choices at work.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router.

I don't want a wifi hotspot I need "home internet" as this is sold. There is no real solution, only finnicky hacky workarounds such as VPN. Tmobile could have used Ipv4 if they wanted that is not even a question. Not supporting ipv4 breaks many critical components of the internet.5Visto0likes0Comentarios- 14Visto4likes0Comentarios

(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. What a dumpster fire. No Ipv6 or Ipv4. Might as well call this one way internet. This breaks multiple internet standards and expectations for an internet provider. Ipv4 is still crucial in 2021. Borking Ipv6 is not acceptable.9Visto2likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Port Forwarding working in 2021?
We shouldn't have to buy a VPN to use the internet we pay for. I need port forwarding as a basic ability. It seems this used to be a feature on the older models and this new 5G one can't do it. The support for this service has been absolute garbage. Long hold times, many transfers, to people who don't know anything, hang up on you, and barely speak English. It seems they are given no real way to help customers when you say you have a problem. They are like Fedex agents and just make things up and lie to make you happy. They will say they will send techs to the tower, or they will fix the problem, or they will send a replacement router, or they will call back and it's clearly just all lies. Nothing changes and they never call back and they never send the router. I was promised this would be 5G internet and then when I get it they now claim 5G is upgrading in my area with no estimate to when it will happen. So they just lie to get customers. The sales agents don't know the difference between 5G and 5Ghz wifi. Speeds have been very inconsistent and so has latency. 2-10mbps is common with a max of 80 being the highest I have ever seen. 100ms ping is also common. Have to reboot the router randomly to get internet back. Even with 5 bars of signal speeds can be slow and sometimes 3 bars gets more speed. No port forwarding is the icing on the crapcake. $50 a month can get better/faster/more consistentservice from verizon fios with 1/5th the latency and port forwarding. Too bad I live in an area where 1 local company has a complete monopoly.3Visto0likes0Comentarios
