ᐅ Is a TAE socket still required nowadays?

That’s the first time I’ve heard that. And even if only rarely, I also really enjoy gaming from time to time. I have never had a game fail its online service as long as the servers are accessible.

I can only go into this topic very superficially and somewhat uncertainly, but yesterday someone who works professionally in this field strongly advised against using the Gigacube for gaming. Apparently, changing the NAT type is not possible, and there is no public IP address, which makes online gaming impossible. Whether this is just a very general statement and might not apply to all games/consoles/PCs, I cannot say. A Google search for the problem "Gigacube" "online gaming" brings up many forum posts and help requests, but few solutions.

Since the device comes with a 30-day trial period, it might be worth trying. However, I wouldn’t want to commit to the idea that the Gigacube is the solution to my internet problems just yet.

This also caused some disappointed faces at home yesterday because we like to play games for an hour or so in the evening.

Ok, then it seems to be a Gigacube-specific issue and not related to LTE in general.
@Tarnari Do you have the Gigacube? Or LTE?

Neither. Regular DSL. I apparently misunderstood. I took it to mean that a fixed IP was generally required. However, the technician’s statement is a bit odd. Every internet connection has a public IP—it’s just that the address changes and isn’t static.

Maybe the issue is that there is only one clear IP address, and the Gigacube shared IP is used by multiple users?

Oh no, that’s really bad with the internet you have there.

I have to honestly admit that we nerds were careful enough to reserve / buy our plot only after we made sure it was located in a fiber optic area.
