Re: WiFi router sugestions that can use different IP address for Home Internet 5G Gateway
Those suggesting to simply plug their router into the LAN port of the T-Mobile gateway obviously don't any port forwarding to their home devices. Anybody do Remote Desktop to their home computer from outside? Anybody have a NAS at home they'd like to access from outside? Anybody run Pi-Hole ad blocking for their whole home network? Anybody do preassigned IP addresses for DHCP on their home LAN? Anybody VPN into their home? Anybody do SSH into their home machines? These functions are all supported by even the cheapest home routers. None are supported by the T-Mobile home internet gateway. I'm just about ready to return it, even though the speeds are great.11Visto5likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Port Forwarding working in 2021?
Just started setting up my T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway, and the speeds and latency look very good, (low 10's of milliseconds ping, 300-500 Mbps downlink, 50-80 Mbps uplink, BUT, there doesn't seem to be anyway to accomplish port forwarding in the web GUI. What a major oversight. They need to add several controls: DHCP reservation (required for port forwarding) Port forwarding (to devices that have IP reservations) Auto firmware updates Ability to modify DNS servers that are used In absence of these functions, they could perhaps provide a way to act exactly like a cable modem: provide all ports at a wired Ethernet connection and allow the WiFi to be turned off. Let us do the rest if you can't do it.11Visto3likes0Comentarios
