Advanced/Power User Network Settings

Hey everyone,

 

I wanted to bring up an issue I’ve been thinking about regarding T-Mobile’s internet routers. Currently, these routers are fairly locked down, and while I understand the need for security and simplicity, I think there should be some sort of power user mode for those who need advanced networking features.

 

I am an Information Technology specialist, and even I don’t have access to certain features that would significantly improve the stability and communication of my network. Even if it requires going through an approval process, it would be great to have access to more detailed settings, such as advanced port forwarding, QoS customization, or even deeper network configuration options. Many users, including myself, would benefit from this level of control without having to rely on third-party equipment.

 

I’m curious if others feel the same way. If you agree, let’s make some noise and get T-Mobile’s attention on this! Also, if anyone has found workarounds or alternative solutions, I’d love to hear about them.

 

Looking forward to any thoughts or shared experiences. Thanks!

 

 

  • You may want to at least look into a 3rd party device.  Nater Tater (youtube)  has some info on this.  Tmobile devices are more like minimalist appliances, with 98% of the functions removed/disabled or controlled by TMobile itself.

      Yeah, TMHI is more like a hotspot on steroids.  It doesn't have the features of wired internet services.
