Home Internet Port Forwarding working in 2021?
I see a couple threads talking about port forwarding not working and I still can’t seem to get mine working. Is anyone having any success with new hardware or contacting support?
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.
