adding VPN software to newest white 5G T-Mobile Router
Greetings all I'm wondering if it's possible to add VPN software to the newest white 5G router itself to protect my entire network? I'm wanting to do this that particular way instead of trying to add VPNs to all my devices instead while still having my main devices covered yet not able to have my home security devices unprotected. Adding a VPN to the router would allow for full coverage of everything to include my home security devices. Then i would only need to make adjustments to one VPN point once instead of everything separately. If it's somehow not available who do i contact to request this feature? I'm not opposed to upgrading to a business plan if it's available that way. The whole point would be adding security. That would be a key selling point in the future, T-Mobile. I'm not wanting to make any adjustments to the router itself. I'm wanting to add software that would interface AFTER any functions of the router. Hope this makes sense to anyone reading this as it's standard functions for aftermarket routers.
AnyConnect VPN has become too slow as of Sep 2024
I use Tmobile 5G internet and my AnyConnect VPN speeds were adequate until Sep 2024! The VPN speeds are now at best about 4 mbits/sec for download and about 6 mbit/sec upload, which is way too slow. The nominal speed, without VPN, for my Tmobile 5G internet, is more than 300 mbits/sec download speeds. What has changed and how do I resolve this?
Unexplained Skyrocket of 5G Home Internet Usage
I called T-Mobile support about this, but they really didn’t have any answers for me, so wanted to see if anyone else had experienced anything like this. My TM 5G Home Internet usage skyrocketed without any change in our household’s usage behavior during this current billing cycle (May 2023). We have the Nokia 5G21 Gateway. In March we used 66.55 GB, April was 9.23 GB and May is 417.31 GB. I’ve checked all the devices connected to our home network and have been able to identify them all, so I don’t think anyone is tapping into our network. We aren’t experiencing any decrease in speeds or dropping of the network, so maybe I don’t have any reason to be concern, the jump in data usage was just alarming, since we only really web browse, stream video and connect smart home devices. We don’t do anything that would send massive data outwards, either. A few things I noticed in my usage reports over the last few months was the number of reports jumping from 8 in March and 1 in April to over 3,000 in May. Also, the previous reports showed as “Mobile Internet,” whereas May’s report shows all as “Internet Access.” So those were both odd.
5G HOME/BUSINESS INTERNET - SAN DIEGO
I have been having HORRIBLE service on 5G small business internet (same as 5g home). Latency is 3451 when using speedof.me and speedtest.net hardly ever loads at all. I am on my 3RD device and tonight I called for the 8th time and this time they said it is “local site issues”. Apparently all towers in San Diego or at least all towers near me, are being upgraded/have site issues. I will get 140mbps and then 21mbps. Sometimes at night it is 2.8mbps. UGHH. Why can't they work on one tower at a time lol. Basically I am going to jump ship to a different 5G provider OR back to cable if it isn't corrected soon. I can't run a business like this. ANYONE have a fix/temp suggestion?
T-Mobile limits number of 5g gateways
I’m a long-time T-Mobile customer and had 3 5g gateways on my account at 3 separate locations earlier in 2023. We sold a home and turned in one of the gateways (now we have only 2). I recent tried to add a 3rd gateway at another location and T-Mobile will not allow -- says 2 is the limit! Change of policy which makes no sense to me. Anyway, has anyone else had this issue? I solved it by getting a Verizon 5g gateway at exactly the same cost --- and based on this fiasco and waste of my time, I’m considering changing all my service to Verizon. Again, any comments from T-Mobile users appreciated.
How do I access advanced routing features of the 5G High-Speed Internet Gateway?
My background is in software engineering and I’m currently studying network security. I would like to have access to advanced features on the Internet Gateway such as DHCP, NAT, Port Forwarding, DMZ, etc. I usually have to assign a static IP address to my printer to get it to work, among other things. How do I access the advanced features of the gateway?
