-A common problem with SIM cards is that the router can't be accessed even a service like DynDNS is used.+A common problem mobile networks is that depending on the SIM cards type the router can't be accessed even a service like //DynDNS// and //port forwarding// is used.
 This problem has nothing todo with the router functionality because it is a general problem with IP networks. In most case the terms static(fixed)/dynamic are mixed up with public/private IP addresses. This problem has nothing todo with the router functionality because it is a general problem with IP networks.

-This is the same situation like having a private DSL-Router (= operators router) at home which has a public and often dynamic (e.g. 79.4.3.2) IP. So local computers (= NetModule router)  you can't reach them from the internet because they have a private IPs (e.g. 192.168.1.100). All local routers will report the same public IP if //whatsmyip// is used (here 79.4.3.2). But looking on the IP address of the computers it will show the prive addresses (here 192.168.1.100)+This is the same situation like having a private DSL-Router (= operators router) at home which has a public and often dynamic (e.g. 79.4.3.2) IP. Local computers (= NetModule router) can't be reached from the Internet because they have a private IPs (e.g. 192.168.1.100).
