Machines (3 desktop Mini’s + one Laptop) all connect at Wifi 6 speeds, but computers cannot see each other both using public and private networking.  I’ve tried to get individual files & folders shared within the home using computer name and ip address, but neither maps.  Is there a firewall or security setting within these router/modems I’m missing?  The gateway is a SAS Fast5688w if that helps.  I haven’t found a T-Mobile tech who understands WiFi 6!

@kmp6258 I have a similar setup using T-Mobile Home Internet and it works fine. I used the following Apple tutorial to setup sharing files on the same network.

Let us know if this works for you.
