IP Location issue
So apparently I cannot connect to sites that need to verify your location because my new tmobile internet service shows me as being located in a State that is different from my actual location. Been...
I've found that changing the dns server on my router in AP or Router mode corrects my location. If you're only using the T-Mobile device you can only change the dns settings in network settings on your network adapter. I'm currently using dns.watch, but any of the major ones like Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS etc should work. This isn't going to fix geolocation issues for wireless streaming unless you're using your own router.
My IP from T-Mobile is consistently in the NYC, New Jersey area and I live in Western NY. If I look up my geolocation using https://www.gps-coordinates.net/my-location it’s less than a block from my house since I made the switch.
If your TMobile Home goes down for any reason you may have to reset to use default dns to connect to the internet. Then you can set it back to a dns that does geolocation.
