Anyone using Plex on T-Mobile Home Internet?

Since I've moved to T-Mobile Home Internet, I've been having a difficult time getting any streaming to work without being relayed, even locally on my network. Has anyone else got this to work successfully?

Whose router are you using? Your own? Local traffic shouldn’t behave any differently unless you’re using their equipment which may not have the settings you want configured correctly.

T-Mobile uses CG-NAT which means you don’t have a dedicated, proper IPv4 address associated with your public facing network. You will need to use a reverse proxy setup like Tailscale in order to regain external access for Plex. You can also try to call T-Mobile and ask for a static IP address, then actually doing it only happens on rare occasions from what I’ve seen.

I have T Mobile Home Internet, Plex and Jellyfin work fine for me locally. I have not tried accessing them remotely.

What do you use to stream it on? Both the Roku app and Android app have been giving me issues locally saying it's a relayed connection
