Re: Nintendo Switch - Mario Kart 8
The only other way I can think of to reset the global IP address on your 5G Nokia Gateway without a power reset is to remove and reinsert it's SIM card on the bottom which should reset it each time you reconnect with your local 5G tower. Way easier just turning off "hotspot" and back on with a smart device.323Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nintendo Online cannot play with other T-Mobile subscribers

You may need to turn your hotspot on and off a few times before connecting but each time you run an internet test it should change your global IP address and if it does not well you'll get same issue as you did with your "GATEWAY", see that, keyword there. So, you'll always be using the Gateway's global IP address on the internet and nothing you can do about it. Here it is again: GATE-WAY!382Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nintendo Switch - Mario Kart 8

Forgot these hot aired people. The problem is a 5G Nokia gateway will not change your global IP address on your switch, even if you create a Wi-Fi connection with no security through 192.168.12.1, it still won't work. Global IP ending in .xx.xx.226 (I've seen it change to .xx.xx.224) all the time you will not connect to Mario Kart 8. Not sure how much support is left for the game as Nintendo stated a new Mario Kart is coming out this year. If you got a 2024 5G T-Mobile device (2024 BYOD works too) turn on your hotspot and put encryption to: NONE. Watch how your global IP address always changes when you reconnect to your smartphone's hotspot.341Views0likes2CommentsRe: Nintendo Online cannot play with other T-Mobile subscribers

Stuff not working above, please read: turn off all features for 2.4/5.0 GHz to get your T Mobile router/modem into bridge mode so it will not have double NAT if you also have a “router” connected. LAN is your connected devices and WLAN is your wireless networks which you’ll need it at: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WLAN connection disabled. My TP-Link finally said, you got double NAT issues, so try to turn on bridge mode and reconnect all wifi devices to your TP-Link device. Connected to Worldwide - Battle on first try.817Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nintendo Online cannot play with other T-Mobile subscribers
Don’t forgot to update your router’s firmware and some will do it once connected to the Internet. With every update you’ll need to do a “factory reset” as I got a new TP-Link router and got no connection issue again. After that reset and same set-ups it connected to Worldwide VS race on first try again.781Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nintendo Online cannot play with other T-Mobile subscribers
You’ll need to buy a separate router (any brand you like: netgear, motorola, cisco, et cetera), connect it to LAN1, then on that router’s splash page (usually on device with IP address) log on as administrator. Create a “guest” Wi-Fi network which most allow you to create a password but for me I have a Motorola router. It allows me to create a password as well as turning on (by default) / off “internet connection only” feature all at 5 GHz but I did not change any values, got my Switch on that guest-WiFi and connected to Mario Kart 8: Worldwide VS Race on my first try. No need to go to battle first for me, hope it works for you and thanks for reading my post.811Views1like1Comment
