I have the same gateway. Connecting directly to the gateway via wifi, from a distance of 2 ft, the maximum speeds I can achieve were 30 mbit download. Plugged in my ASUS to the ethernet port on the gateway and used my own wifi, and connected through my ASUS, I have no trouble nailing 350mbit down and 50-70 mbit upload speeds. You can’t “replace” the gateway, as thats also the modem, however, you can connect your own router to the ethernet port.
Don’t use the T-Mobile router, it’s terrible. Pick up something like this ASUS, it will last you years to come and give considerably better performance. https://amzn.to/3RJoUDz
First, the 403 error is being generated by the Forum website which constantly gets overloaded, hence the error message. Wait just a few minutes and it will clear. Second, T-Mobile does not block websites. It does lack NAT and and the ability to manipulate DHCP, but that doesn't have any affect on websites. Have you checked your DNS settings? I'm not sure if you're on a PC or Mac, but either way, make sure the router is listed as 192.168.12.1 and if that’s true, then try adding Google’s DNS, 8.8.8.8. Make sure your VPN is disconnected. Also, is the inability to connect common to all devices or just the one you're writing about? Thanks for clarification on the 403. It’s maddening using these forums, glad I copied my other messages before submitting, as it took a good 15 tires before the site would connect.Next, I did not say T-Mobile blocks websites, I said Websites/servers are blocking t-mobile ip ranges. I do use cloud flare dns. it works spectacularly. though has Nothing to do with t
Interesting, I did not have any issues access the T-Mobile website. I wonder if you are behind a firewall. I do not use a VPN so I cannot comment on it. If your own web server is blocking you (HTTP), then you have something going on. Is your web server on Linux? If so, Linux runs firewall software that requires adjustments (I used to run Apache). You should revisit your topology and see if have a software layer causing your problems. Of, turn off everything but your PC/Mac client and your T-mobile gateway, then test Internet access. Good luck! Bocaboy said it’s the forum getting overloaded for that, so appearantly tmobile is not blocking it’s own ips. just a overloaded forum for that. I was fairly clear, the firewall is pulling block lists (this is common practice) from security companies (as I mentioned for example, Barracuda, which is a fairly large one). These block lists contain huge swaths of Tmobile IP ranges. None of the blocking is happening from my side. Once I manually re
Funny! Tmobile is blocking itself now. This is what I got when I tried to post the above the first time! 403 ERRORThe request could not be satisfied.Request blocked.
