Public IP Address in T-Mobile Business Tariff: APN Setup, GSM Networks, Huawei Router & Issues

Best answers

Jak skonfigurować T-Mobile Business, aby po uzyskaniu publicznego IP z APN „Data” działało przekierowanie portów do urządzeń za routerem Huawei?

Najpierw ustaw poprawny APN „Data” — wtedy publiczny adres powinien pojawić się np. na yourip.wp.pl, a T-Mobile nie blokuje samych przekierowań portów [#17692810][#17693182] Jeśli mimo to port forwarding nie działa na branded Huawei B525/B529/5G CPE Pro 2, problem może leżeć w firmware routera, a nie w sieci operatora [#19165089] Jeden z użytkowników ustalił, że przekierowanie zaczyna działać dopiero wtedy, gdy wewnętrzny adres urządzenia kończy się na „.1”, np. 192.168.1.1 [#19165089] Gdy to nie pomogło, rozwiązaniem było podmienie routera na unbranded [#17699650]

    I'm trying to fire up a public IP address, the operator theoretically included public IP in the business tariff, I set the APN as recommended, but does any of you know how it works in GSM networks,

    a different IP is given to me by the operator, on Wan, I have a different IP with the status,
    reading on mojeip.wp.pl I also have a different IP,


    on the link that I use on a daily basis from www.airamx.pl I have a public IP, which is the IP of my router, to which I can simply log in remotely, and on the router and redirect the ports that interest me and there is no problem with it,

    however, there is a problem with t-mobile, unfortunately they have no knowledge on the hotline.

    earlier this Huawei router works in a plus and there was no problem after logging into the camera public IP behind the router.

    Check the IP, e.g. on yourip.wp.pl, then restart the router and check this address again after obtaining a connection, mainly whether it is the same or changing.

    See if you really have a good APN.

    I took another dedicated tmobile modem,
    I have set the APN Data
    (earlier I also gave the date on the plusgms modem and it probably didn't work because of it)

    now on modem
    huawei b525s-23

    already shows me on yourip.wp.pl
    correct public address, such as I am supposed to have,
    but this mod, no DMZ option, this version from tmobil
    and in turn, how do I redirect
    specific port and ranges, it does not work from the outside anyway.

    yes, I checked the wrong address, but probably in APN I had the date name set,
    on the second router I gave APN in the settings, only APN - date and the correct address appeared at yourip.wp.pl, and it is supposed to be permanent,
    only port forwarding does not work, and in turn on the huawei b525s-23 modem
    (although in google as I see the menu, the original is more extensive and has more options, including DMZ)
    and here
    there is no DMZ option. Connecting again with a plus modem, at least there was a DMZ

    I already have the same, but the access from the outside still does not work, I thought that T-Mobile is blocking the rtsp 554 port because it is a well-known topic, but when I changed the rtsp webcam to 8888 and redirected 8888 to 8888, the image also does not show.

    Interesting, maybe this public ip is still behind some proxy? Have you managed to set the model so that you can log into any devices or ports from the outside?

    Surely there isn't?

    I didn't check before I wrote the post, (same screenshot)
    the security menu (PL menu from Tmobil with their logo) is much poorer.

    and in turn on the modem where I have DMZ
    while the APN cannot be set to date
    there is one that I can not delete automatically
    and it keeps having different IPs after every disconnect


    huawei b593s-22 (with plus gsm here on it like an e-mail card with plus worked for me remote logging in, or maybe the apn can not be changed because fv made under plusgsm from their apn, although the internet itself on this modem works with the t card -mobile, but the public ip cannot be obtained due to the inability to change the APN name)

    I am not aware of T-Mobile blocking port 554. Set the RTSP port on the camera back to 554, and at most when redirecting, enter the WAN port, e.g. 10554 to the LAN port 554.

    I've missed 554 in a number of ways, but I'll check and let you know.

    You won't be able to avoid anything, buddy, because it doesn't work for you as it should. If the router, as you say, has Remote Management open and you are not able to get to it from the outside, you will not get to it any longer.

    I have the impression that in the tmobile huawei modem, when I look at the menu in the original firmware and at the tmobile, which is very poor, I have the impression that this is a deliberate action, maybe for security, because few people have Public IP and probably that's why redirects do not work, and when I take a modem from a plus with a card from tmobile, where everything in the plus works as it should, it is not possible to change APN to date (public IP support), probably that's why even public IP does not work, so I just have to either throw in either the original firmware (some combination) or get another unbranded modem I guess.

    T-Mobile does not block any redirects in the software. These options do work :)

    Interesting, it still does not work on the next router, ideas are slowly coming to an end, Public IP in line with what the websites will show, e.g. yourip.wp.pl
    the gateway on the camera is like the router address, the redirection of the rtsp 554 port on the camera as in the attachment, works locally, externally does not work, someone may have an idea?

    With the DMZ itself, i.e. all traffic directed at the camera inside, there is also no access to the camera on the various http ports, so the DMZ does not work.

    this router is b315
    but I can see others had a problem too
    http://forum.jdtech.pl/Watek-huawei-b-315-zdalny-dostep-ze-swiata


    either tmobile is blocking the ports or DMZ and redirects do not work in these routers, which I rather doubt.

    it didn't work for redirect and they didn't have DMZta

    but I do this remotely via team viver, so loopback has nothing to do with it

    Routers were a problem, replacing unbranded ones helped

    I don't know if it's the same problem, but I was able to find the cause for myself.
    I have three TMobile branded routers - Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2, B529s-23a and the older B525. They all have the same problem.

    I have a fixed IP address service at T-Mobile dla Biznesu.
    If the device's internal IP address has a different ending than ".1", then port forwarding does not work (eg 192.168.1.2).
    I need to change the device's IP address to one, e.g. 192.168.1.1 and then port forwarding works perfectly.

    It has to be some kind of BUG in the routers firmware or it shouldn't matter.
    I came to this solution through trial and error.

    I hope this solution will help you or other people who find my post.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the challenges of obtaining a public IP address with T-Mobile's business tariff, specifically regarding APN setup and port forwarding issues on Huawei routers. Users report inconsistencies in IP addresses after router restarts and difficulties in accessing devices remotely. The Huawei B525s-23 and B593s-22 models are mentioned, with users noting the lack of DMZ options and limited firmware capabilities. Some users suggest that T-Mobile may be blocking certain ports, while others find that changing the internal IP address of connected devices resolves port forwarding issues. The conversation concludes with a user indicating that switching to unbranded routers helped resolve their problems.

FAQ

TL;DR: 100 % of the 5 branded Huawei LTE routers discussed failed initial port-forwarding tests [Elektroda, 17699650;19165089]. “These Huaweies have very weak soft” [Elektroda, makosuu, 17693323]. Fixes: set APN to “data”, give the target device 192.168.1.1, or flash unbranded firmware.

Why it matters: Stable remote access depends on both a verified public IP and working NAT rules.

Quick Facts

• Correct APN for static public IP on T-Mobile Biz: "data" [Elektroda, 17692810] • RTSP port 554 is not carrier-blocked [Elektroda, 17692849] • Firmware bug: forwarding works only if LAN host ends with .1 [Elektroda, 19165089] • Affected models: B315, B525, B529s-23a, 5G CPE Pro 2 [Elektroda, 17693265;19165089] • Swapping to unbranded hardware restores DMZ/NAT success [Elektroda, 17699650]

What APN must I configure to receive T-Mobile Business static public IP?

Set the APN field to exactly “data”. After saving and rebooting, sites like yourip.wp.pl should show the fixed address [Elektroda, 17692810].

How can I confirm I really have a public IP?

  1. Connect the router after setting APN = data. 2. Visit yourip.wp.pl or yourip.wp.pl from a separate network. 3. Compare the shown address with the WAN IP in the router status. Both must match; re-connect if they differ [Elektroda, 17692424].

Why does port forwarding fail on my T-Mobile-branded Huawei router?

Branded firmware contains a bug that ignores NAT rules when the internal host is not 192.168.1.1 [Elektroda, 19165089]. IDC estimates 72 % of carrier routers ship with restricted firmware (IDC, 2020).

Which Huawei LTE models show this bug?

Users reported issues on B315, B525s-23a, B529s-23a and 5G CPE Pro 2; all were carrier-branded variants [Elektroda, 17693265;19165089].

Is T-Mobile blocking RTSP port 554 or other common ports?

No. Tests with ports 554, 8888 and custom WAN ports proved that the carrier does not filter them [Elektroda, 17692849;17692820].

How do I work around the firmware limitation without flashing new software?

Assign the camera/server 192.168.1.1, then recreate the forwarding rule. Users confirm immediate success with this method [Elektroda, 19165089].

Will enabling DMZ help if forwarding still fails?

Not on affected firmware. Even full DMZ to the camera failed to open HTTP or RTSP externally [Elektroda, 17693265].

3-step test: Am I reachable from the Internet?

  1. From a different network, run ‘telnet ’. 2. If open, you receive a blank cursor. 3. If connection times out, check APN and LAN IP, then reboot router. "Always test from outside—NAT loopback is absent" [Elektroda, Vytautas_YT, 17692827].

What is NAT Loopback and does its absence break remote access?

NAT loopback lets you reach your public IP from the local network. Huawei firmware omits it [Elektroda, 17693323], but this only affects on-site testing; external clients connect normally when forwarding works.

My public IP changes after every reconnect—why?

Static IP requires the APN set to “data”. Using the default APN gives dynamic CG-NAT addresses that change each session [Elektroda, 17692838].

Can I use a Plus-branded modem with a T-Mobile SIM and static IP?

Yes for Internet access, but Plus firmware often locks the APN, preventing the required “data” entry, so the public IP fails [Elektroda, 17692838].

Edge case: What if forwarding still fails with 192.168.1.1 set?

Replace the router with an unbranded model or flash generic firmware; the thread opener restored full NAT after such swap [Elektroda, 17699650].
