DNS Resolution phone = yes home internet = no ???
It makes no sense how BOTH my iPhone and T-Mobile gateway connect to the SAME 4G and 5G cells yet DNS doesn't resolve over the gateway. I can ping major DNS server IPv4 addresses and get a response o...
OK so there was some issue with DNS that T-Mobile was having but they seem to have resolved it yet again. Nothing advertised as to what the cause of the behavior was but it works again. Using the workaround to set the client DNS vs allowing the gateway IP works good.
It is clearly related to DNS resolution with traffic from home internet connections. If you can ping the IP address of CloudFlare or Quad9 or Google but not the host name that is a red flag. This doesn't impact my phone at all only the home internet is jacked.
We are in east TN so from a regional standpoint it might be related to the passing of hurricane Ian but we saw no major impact or that here. Since everything works on the phone but not on the home internet it may be something configured wrong for priority. They can't even get their support lines to work. T-Mobile needs to figure out how to send text notifications out to subscribers via their phone when they have regional issues with their internet service.
