If your media server is something like plex on a computer or nas box like a qnap you could add a vpn connection to make it accessible. It will loose some speed, but I can still get 5-6Mbps upload on a vpn, or about half of the direct connection.
I was wondering the same thing. The battery would be great for moving your device around the house, checking for the best signal. But soon as you unplug it it shuts off and reboots, when it comes back on it has no wifi or internet connection. It does show Bars, but that’s not alot of help, since there are cell 2 connections.
I just got mine 3 days ago and have the same issues. The settings are nearly non existent, no port mapping, upnp, dhcp reservations...I can't remote desktop connect from work back home with no port forwarding, none of my security camera show up anymore on my phone for probably the same reason, MySQL database won't connect....I was thinking the T-Mobile home internet was real internet, it seems to just a big hotspot, for getting your laptop on Facebook or watching Netflix. I'm 3 days into it and not sure I will keep it. On top of that the speed is unreliable, first day I was getting 30-45mbps, today 8-15mbps. May as well keep my slow DSL, at least everything worked on it.
