Does T-Mobile allow port forwarding on home internet? I have a homelab and need to forward certain ports.

When I was looking recently, no. DDNS style forwarding may work I guess.

Tmobile's Home 5G internet is CGNAT. No public IP so no point in forwarding ports or DDNS.

There's a way of doing it by creating a server somewhere that has public IP then you tunnel to that. It's complicated for most and even if you pull it off, then you added lag etc.

Also, last time I had it, there's no bridge mode. This thing is so simple it's designed for simple things.

I currently use a 1st Gen Google WiFi Mesh which for whatever reason is a lot slower than connecting directly to the router. Would this solve that problem and speed things up?

I like features that Google WiFi has... The T-Mobile router is super basic.

VPN or TOR would surely still work, but that sounds like an awful experience all around.

The common consumer needs to realize wireless infrastructure is cheaper than running and maintaining lines, so there's no excuse for them to cut even more corners.

Wonder if these can be flashed to normal firmware like the Asus routers they used to sell for Cellspot.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I'm a huge tmob supporter. But the home internet didn't work out for me. Download speeds way to inconsistent.
And over past week, numerous Tmob customers, cell and home have had data connection problems, where you get disconnected from internet even though have full bars. Takes a minute or two to come back. The eggheads on reddit are helping tmob troubleshoot.. Something about ipv4 tunnel exit.
Problem seems to be the worst in New York State.

Right off the bat, if every node doesn't have the same connection strength as your router, you're skewing your results.

But, slower in terms of bandwidth or latency?

Bandwidth in most mesh networks is typically divided by the number of active nodes and then adjusted based on factors present on each node.

If you have a node with a bunch of devices on it using bandwidth and you're testing on a lonesome node, you might just be lower priority.

Latency, however, is mostly physical. The only way to resolve this is repositioning your nodes.

Sorry, but they modify their CSS based on whether you allow 3rd party cookies or not.

Just refresh the page and the tagline will change to appeal to different consumers.

Can't be trusted.

Click the link in the initial post, enter your phone number, and you'll get a redemption link that redirects you to Googles store that has the discount applied.

I'd really like to try this, but it still is not available at my address. I've talked to neighbors and they have the same.

The funny thing is their marketing/advertising people don't get it as at least weekly I get some sort of mail ad from them asking me to sign up for service.

I'd love to, but.....

I assume you can't bypass the gateway and instead utilize the nest Wi-Fi routers for routing, which is frustrating because you can't even do the most basic things like change the subnet or offer guest Wi-Fi
