Is anyone else having problems with a changing IP address?
I've had the Home Internet service for 3 months now and I'm generally happy with it, but one thing is rather annoying. The external IP address that gets assigned to my gateway keeps changing. This ha...
Just took some additional data on the problem, very interesting…
When I disconnect my PC from my home network (internet provided by T-Mobile Home Internet) and instead connect it to my T-Mobile 5G mobile phone’s hotspot - the same rapid IP address changes occur (in my dynamic Public IP address).
However I also have a T-Mobile 4G LTE mobile hotspot. When I connect my PC to it, the IP address does not change - it remains stable (at least for the several minutes I tested...).
So this problem seems related to devices connected to T-Mobile’s 5G service.
One more piece of data - I verified that when connected to the internet through my VPN service (using T-Mobile Home Internet), my public IP address is stable - also the VPN service doesn’t seem bothered by the rapidly changing IP addresses in the T-Mobile system.
