I think static IP will not happen on wireless home internet, and you are all pushing on a rope.  The IP address space is finite, Tmobile's share of addresses is limited, and this service use CGNAT to manage this limited resource.

Most people don't need a constant static IP address. What they do need is one that doesn't change that often. Or in my case, starting a few weeks ago, my IP address will flap between at least two different IPs - like when visiting a website. This makes it impossible to use any website that tracks my session using it. It instantly logs me out because my IP address changes on the next request. I am not sure how to stop this - I instead have to tether my t-mobile phone to keep a single IP address.

At this point I don’t know how a transition from res to biz would work or even if it is possible with Tmo

The store I’m preparing for is my first biz line from Tmo.  If I get any more info I will post it here.

I would kill to only have my T-Mobile internet go down ONLY once a week...I'm averaging NINE (9) drops a day!! I've called and called and still there is no resolution! I'm in IT and can't afford all these drops. Here is something interesting, when the internet drops, so does my phone, and I don't have it set for using internet calling...maybe I'll start a thread on that

I use T-Mobile 5G internet at home and I am very pleased with it so far.  It has gone out a time or two in the beginning but seems to have been very stable of the last 4-5 months.

Since I was happy with the connection, I asked T-Mobile if the new "Business" 5G Internet came with Statis IP addresses.  This is something I need for my stores firewall connection and the NVR for our surveillance cameras.  They told me I can order Static IP's for $5.00 a month per address.

Now I know this thread was on home internet but business internet is also 50.00 a month.

Maybe folks who need Static IP’s for their content services can use a business connection vs residential.

 

In any event, I’m moving forward with the T-Mobile solution with static IP’s since the DSL circuit I currently have at this store is very slow...too slow.

Good to know! Can a “Business Home Internet” be added to a personal account or does TMO require a new business account for business service?

Thanks JBeck what you describe is the same as what Canadian providers are doing.  I too am very pleased with T Mobiles home Internet.

You can customize your options through the router. I had to do it to get my ps4 to work because it doesn't like dynamic ip's… it also will allow you to set up a vpn or whatever else you need to do. Just try a router and custom configure it, you can always return it back to Walmart or Amazon. You configure one router and hook everything up to it including hulu

A router behind the T-mobile device , no matter who makes, will not help unless you can get around the router in the t-mobile device.  I have not found a way to do that yet. 
 

If a recycle of the power is all you need there are devices on the market that will test you connection regularly using ping and if no response is found cycle the power.   The real need for static IP is to either access the local network remotely or to solve problems with sites like Hula who trying to keep sharing to a minimum.

Get a NetGear router and u can configure that… works for ps4 connection as well
