4gee wifi with xbox remote play

[T100mbo]

Hi All 

Has anyone been able to stream their xbox away from home using 4gee wifi. I used to be able to do this with my fibre broadband before moving house and having to take the 4gee option.  I think the issue may be something to do with it being a "mobile" network and not having a static IP address. Is it possible to assign a static so that this can be done? I don't use it often but would be good to be able to when away from home. Thanks

@T100mbo You can not have a static IP address when using cellular.   Have you removed content lock for your EE4G WiFi account?

Neither on the EE fixed BB network nor the EE mobile network do you get a static public IP. So it can't be that!

You may be finding yourself up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which means that you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

If this occurs there is nowt you can do to avoid it.

Thank you. Frustrating but I thought that may be the case. Thanks for explaining.
