Opal Setup

Technical Support for Routers
1

Hello,

I recently switched my business internet from Spectrum to T-Mobile. With Spectrum I had no issues accessing places like Netflix, Xbox and Playstation, but with T-Mobile there's no access and I believe that's due to NAT3 (which cant be switched). I came across a video on Youtube explaining how Opal could be a solution. I purchased Opal and I'm not attempting to setup. I have it hardwired to my router, but I'm just getting a blinking light on the front of Opal. I was able to get a solid light when I connected from my router to WAN port, but not in LAN 1. I'm pretty sure that I don't need WAN, but rather LAN. I'm not an IT expert by any means, but I can typically figure out home tech. Right now I'm stumped. Could you please help?

Internet input is always WAN port on any GL router.

How are you looking to deploy the Opal?

I'm just trying to set up a separate router that way I can bypass the Nat 3 that's on my current T-Mobile router. Nat3 makes it to where I cannot use my PlayStation portal and I'm trying to bypass that by setting up OPAL.

Another router won't solve the NAT issue. It will mostly just create 1 NAT more than before.

By using a VPN or similar?
