All the games I attempt to play stop me after just five minutes.
This video clip is just one instance among many. My computer has been experiencing this issue for about a week now. I've reset my network settings and updated all drivers, but I'm using Wi-Fi since Ethernet isn't available. 419923077_Untitledvideo-MadewithClipchamp(14).mp4
First, I'll assess the current radio conditions. For an Android phone, it's simple—install a WiFi analyzer to view both frequency bands, signal strength, and other details.
I don't understand the content. Is it something you're evaluating for quality?
Usually it's better to avoid having two Wi-Fi networks on the same channel. The hidden SSID could actually come from your router, making it hard to tell for sure. I’d say that’s a decent solution. Are you using T Mobile home internet? If yes, this might be a connectivity problem. LTE/5G tends to have higher latency and since it’s a wireless standard, it won’t be as reliable as a wired setup. Another concern is that your home internet uses CGNAT, which blocks port access and forces double NATing. This could definitely be contributing to the issues you’re facing.
Can you find a solution without triggering another ISP alert? I’m using T-Mobile’s internet service.
We've used all available IPv4 addresses, so no solution exists right now. T Mobile lacks sufficient IP addresses for everyone, which is why they rely on NAT. Most wireless technologies suffer from higher ping and latency, including LTE/5G and WiFi. You might test Ethernet connectivity to determine if that resolves the problem. However, I suspect the main issue lies with T Mobile's home internet service.
It doesn't work that way—it depends on the ISP in your region. In my area, T Mobile 5G, Verizon LTE, and Comcast are the main options. The U.S. doesn’t have nationwide fiber coverage, so you’re limited to these providers. My suggestion is try different games. Your boss seems fine with data limits when using Verizon for online gaming. Check signal strength from your T Mobile tower on the gateway display. Make sure your WiFi stays connected during gameplay. If both are stable, the problem likely lies higher up. CGNAT might affect certain games, especially hosting ones, but connecting to another provider should resolve it.
