New T-Mobile 5G Cellular Modem Configuration Advice
-
Happy holidays, everyone!
As the title says, I've decided to spend my Christmas holiday breaking the family internet. Well, not so much... But I've got some questions for the less technically challenged network guru's...
I am leaving my cable ISP. T-Mobile has (if you have their cell service) 5G Home Internet for $25/month. I grabbed their router, swapped it from my cable modem, and get about 125/20 for speeds on average, which is fine for what my house does. As you probably know where I'm heading, there is no way to avoid the double-NAT this creates using their router.
My thought is that I will need to learn how to poke a VPN through to my Emby server for remote access, but that is all I need to access externally. That's one issue to overcome.
More broadly, I was wondering if you all could steer me in the right direction for any important settings to tweak for the cellular modem? For example, the Firewall Optimization Options? Should I use High Latency being on the cellular network?
This, and any other general advice or caveats? I know all networks are unique, etc... Mine has a WAN and 4-port NIC creating separate interfaces for different types of devices... Numerous WiFi access points off those... There is an unused WiFi NIC on the motherboard I'm not using for anything... It's pretty eaborate, but it works great.
I'd like it to continue working great. LOL
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven
