Home Internet Static IP
Is it possible to get a static IP with the 5G Home Internet service? Normally I wouldn't need it but since my connection dies at least once a week I get a new IP every time my modem reboots. I work...
I have been on T-Mobile home internet for almost a year. Other than the IP address changing, it works great. But when it changes it does it multiple times in a short period of time and then might not do it for a month. I have Hulu and have learned to use the online chat. I had them put notes in my account about this being HOME INTERNET THROUGH T-MOBILE 5G and now the change is done more quickly, but it is still a pain to have my wife come to my home office and say "The TV is broken again". Not sure why they can't use the MAC address from their Routers to keep an IP address. I have a firewall router after the T-Mobile router so I can make sure all my home devices keep working even if the IP address changes.
I had a T-Mobile router fail and I could not tell because of the random IP address changes prior to that. Blamed Hulu and then realized it wasn't their problem. The changing IP address masks other problems that you may be dealing with.
