Hi @Random206
The 5G Home Broadband service is using CG-NAT, so it can't be changed.
Techy types should be aware that 5G Home Broadband uses CG-NAT. Carrier-grade NAT (Network Address Translation) is a type of network that assigns services with a private IP address, instead of a dynamic public IP address. Our network will then translate that private address into a public address. This means that the following items (which depend on internal NAT) will not work on 5G Home Broadband:
If you need any of these items in your home setup, 5G Home Broadband won’t be the right fit for you. Please check your address on our website for one of our other great broadband plans.
5G is great for most online applications (including casual gaming), but if you require ultra-low latency where every millisecond matters (for example, professional gaming), 5G Home Broadband may not be the right fit for you.

If I use not 5G but direct LAN cable connection to the computer, then the latency will be reduced?
In other words, what is the minimum latency that TPG can provide if the game server is in the US?
Hi @ShawnK
It will not make much of a difference as we are using CG-NAT for our 5G HB service.
If the NBN is available for you, then we suggest to get it as it will support your online gaming activities.
