    Sure I've covered many routers. It all depends on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to get better signal or are you trying to fix the problems that are inherit with the gateway that T-Mobile sent you. The problems that keep you from being able to serve out, the problems that keep you with low upload scores or the problems that make some software complain? I've managed to fix them all and even found several devices that can do it. But instead of telling you about a $600 modem and then about a $400 antenna, I've recently found an outdoor modem that does both.

      In order to make your TMobile SIM chip work in another device you are going to have to change a few settings. It is not a big deal but some locations around the world consider changing these values as a nefarious act. In my opinion it is not and it is legal in many location around the world. If you live in the USA, it is not a big deal but TH-cam is shown globally. Great news! This the Invisagig has awesome US based support. Give them a call and they will help you out!

    Peter, I just got the Tmobile G4AR gateway and a mimo antenna I'm getting great speeds but T-mobile is messing with me, because I'm not in an approved area will double NAT fix this?

    • @PeterC408
      @PeterC408  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Double NAT isn't a real issue for most people. I lived with it for two years, no issues except for not being able to serve Plex outside of my home. Here's the issue, all T-Mobile gateways are gateways (both modems and access points). Neither have a ton of high end features, but get the job done for what they are selling. The problem is to take care of CG-NAT (changing IPs from a phone network), I have to use an advanced feature common on many access points called DDNS but when I employ another access point (using NAT), I am using NAT twice (once form T-Mobile and then again by myself), I traded one problem for the other... that's why I got a modem only and put it in Bridge Mode and let my router DDNS to report my changing IP to a 3rd party, which was No-IP. It is easy once someone points it out, but the whole industry told me that I could not fix it... now it is fixed.

    The only way to overcome CGNAT is to use a VPN service of some description or request that you can be removed from CGNAT if supported by the ISP. In most cases this will be in the form of a public static IP address which you'll have the pleasure of paying a monthly charge for. CGNAT offers a public IP address that is shared by many customers and because of this does not allow for port forwarding to occur. A static IP address is provisioned to one customer alone and can therefore be used to enable port forwarding.

      Why do you keep posting this? I have already shown that I can stream my Security Cameras that contain no cloud support. I can stream from my TV tuner and my NAS drive. I can pull PLEX from a variety of sources including 3 mini PCs and even get the warning message that I am pulling directly from the device and should turn on some web relay, but I haven't done so. I has been streaming for months. It truly is like arguing that bees can't fly... bees don't care about your carefully crafted argument including several valid physics principals and continue to fly anyway.

You don't have to turn on Plex relay it is enabled by default. The fact that you receive that warning message confirms what I am telling you all this time.

    • @PeterC408

      To be clear there's no way to get the bridge mode to work with the T-Mobile equipment. You need to get a third party gateway in order to pull that trick. You also need an access point that has a DDNS feature.

    Ok, watched twice, still super confused. I'm running an unRaid server at home, and I need to be able to access certain services on my server from outside the LAN, such as Rustdesk (remote access) and Zerotier (kinda like a VPN), along with Plex and a few others. I also need to be able to forward external ports to/from my local LAN. It sounds like this cannot be accomplished with only the T-Mobile appliance, correct? What additional equipment would I need? I'm running a pfsense hardware gateway/firewall, and it can handle DDNS.
    Would one of those 3rd party modems handle it? I saw a comment below that seemed to indicate that they can't do port forwarding, which would be a dealbreaker.

    • @PeterC408
      @PeterC408  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Okay, so here's the skinny. It sounds like you are very capable at doing some good Network skills and know how do do a lot of the standard tricks. TMobile Home Internet is going to fight you the whole way. The good news is that we got most of them solved. The gateway that TMHI gives you is good for the average person, but not for you. It is both your access point and your modem and both are lacking features. You need to get a new Modem and you probably use your existing WiFi access point (that's the good news). My AP is so much better than the TMobile Gateway. I have found some 3rd party 5G modems and have been successful in configuring them to pass through the IP address (bridge mode), not my NetGear access point is in control. I use DDNS and No-IP to keep track of the changing IP address (CG-NAT) and allow that all to work. PLEX has been serving well for over 4 months now and I can CRAFT my signal so that I am getting ballanced UPLINK and DOWNLINK scores. I needed good UPLINK to serve and now I get about 140Mbps. Hope that helps. Stay tuned... I am reviewing my favorite 5G modem yet!!

    • @PeterC408
      @PeterC408  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nothing works like that. If your plex is serving with TMobile it is because your IP address has not changed yet. It will stop. Don't be afraid to try and learn new things. Not sure why you think your Plex is working over T-Mobile but perhaps you are mirroring a small amount of data using the Plex service. It is not 420 Movies, 22 years of pictures and 200 hours of Television .

      @@PeterC408 Hey Peter, I definitely do not get that kind of upload speed. I think my speeds are anywhere from 100down/5up at busy hours of the evening to 250down/15up at slow times(Denver suburb). Also I can not say for sure that what you say isn't true but I did convert my library of several hundred movies and TV, dvd and Blu-ray (I was a movie buff with poor financial planning growing up haha) to a small home NAS. That NAS and Plex stopped working outside of my home network when I first switched to T-mobile internet. Initially I was very upset. After some tweaking that I in no way remember, and following some reddit guides at the time I think, was able to get the NAS to serve my plex library over T-mobile(to my knowledge) anywhere I want. Across the country and even while on vacation in Jamaica funny enough. So like I said I can not tell you what exactly I did but I can confirm that I am able to watch my plex library and so are friends and family through my T-mobile internet. Because I can not remember what I did I am afraid to switch to something else at the fear of not being able to get back what I currently have that works, but is just a little slow especially in my basement. That's all that I meant.

    Hi Mr Peter. Do you think T-Mobile will be targeting 3rd party routers since they do not have a gps to track the location?

    • @PeterC408
      @PeterC408  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Originally, I thought they might use the GPS feature to make sure that the Fixed Area Wireless was being used in the right location, but they have never enforced it. There is nothing nefarious with 3rd party routers, we are paying customers who are just trying to get a better signal by going outside to get the signal. I think TMobile should allow 3rd party gateways and they do for business accounts. It says BYOD on their Website. Also, it is just good business to allow 3rd party gateways. We should be allowed to register the IMEI. When they send us a $400 gateway and charge $40/mo, it takes them 10 months to break even. They should allow us to bring our own devices and save them that cost so that they go cash positive on month #1. I wish they would use the GPS to allow us to climb the priority ladder and properly set our location. I am tired of the network thinking I am in Sacramento!! If you have a T-Mobile SIM, you can get on the network with priority 8, but if you are in the right location, you shift to priority 7. Business customers, priority 6.

      It gets pretty crazy with the lingo, but there are gateways, modems and routers (or WiFi access points). I like to keep them separate as challenges are different both inside and out. My favorite modems allow for bridge mode and solve many problems that T-Mobile claimed was impossible!! These modems start at $600, not my fault.

      T-Mobile give you a gateway which is both a modem and an access point. It lacks many key features as both a modem and an access point. You can get UPNP by replacing the router but the best way to do that without double NAT is to replace the whole device. Here is what I use... it the AmpliMax Ultra which acts as a MODEM ONLY and then I use a netgear router. Take a look at this video th-cam.com/video/SqJ5e8w8iio/w-d-xo.html
