#My wifi router 3.0 will not work with windows 10 how to
For instructions on how to setup IPv6 passthrough with OpenWRT click here. For a list of routers that work well with OpenWRT click here. For a list of routers compatible with OpenWRT click here. OpenWRT is a 3rd party os that can be installed on many routers that adds a lot of advanced functionality. If you want IPv6 passthrough then your best bet is probably OpenWRT. Only some routers support IPv6 passthrough. IPv6 passthrough is a feature on some routers that allows it to still be in router mode and with a bunch of features without adding a layer of NAT to IPv6. Option 2A: Use your own router in router mode with IPv6 passthrough.
Cannot be used to seamlessly extend the coverage of the Home Internet gateway. Increases the NAT to 1 layer on IPv6 (option 2B only). May improve some stability issues for some people. This will add a lot more advanced functionality but it will add a layer of NAT. Using a router in access point mode causes it to not have nearly as much advanced router functionality, so for some advanced users it may be a good idea to use the router in router mode. Option 2: Use your own router in router mode. Since the gateway already has really good WiFi I only recommend option 1B if you are using a mesh network. If Option 1A has stability issues for you then this can also work. Option 1B: Use your own router in access point mode and not use the WiFi on the gateway. Unfortunately mixing and matching APs that aren't designed to work with each other sometimes causes major issues. If you configure your access point to have the same WiFi settings as the Home Internet gateway then in many situations devices will seamlessly switch between the two access points. Option 1A: Use your own router in access point mode to extend the WiFi network broadcast by the Home Internet gateway. May have conflicts with your Home Internet gateway (option 1A) or wont improve as good range as it could (option 1B). Does not unlock any additional features. Does not add any additional layers of NAT. Makes WiFi available in more parts of your house. Many routers have a mode known as access point mode, which disables router capabilities and makes it only act as an access point and ethernet switch. Option 1: Use your own router in access point mode. There are 3 main options for how to do this, here are the 3 main options (and variants of some of those options) with the pros and cons of each option. Once you reach 2 layers of NAT adding additional layers usually doesn't introduce additional problems other than the additional performance overhead (not a lot) and more points of failure. T-Mobile Home Internet has 2 layers of NAT on IPv4 and 0 layers of NAT on IPv6, so that's the best you can achieve. T-Mobile Home Internet blocks firewall configuration regardless so that doesn't matter for this. One of the common issues associated with adding additional NAT is losing the ability to configure the firewall. NAT allows multiple devices to share the same public internet address.įor example think of an apartment complex, multiple apartments might share the same street address however each apartment will have its own apartment number that will allow packages to be delivered to the correct apartment.Īdding more NAT can introduce various problems, ideally you want as little NAT as possible. On many modems there is the option to enable bridge mode, which disables all functionality except for modem functionality and allows you to use your own router without any issues, however that isn't an option on T-Mobile Home Internet. An ethernet switch allows multiple devices to be connected to the same ethernet connection.įrequently people use "router" to refer to a combo unit consisting of a router, access point, ethernet switch, and sometimes a modem, although that's technically incorrect. An access point broadcasts a WiFi signal.ĭ. A router manages all the devices on the network and how data is routed over the network.Ĭ. A modem receives the signal and converts it into a usable internet signal.ī. The Home Internet gateway is actually 4 things in 1:Ī. If you don't want to read the whole post you can skip to the end where I recommend which option you should use.įirst there are 2 important things that need to be explained. I have seen this question posted a lot on this subreddit, I have responded to many of those posts however I figured it would be a good idea to create 1 post containing all the different methods (as well as the pros and cons of each method) to use your own router.
