Home Internet Static IP

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

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

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

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?

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.

A altternative for work for home withthe staticip problem iS TO USE A PROGRAM LIKE SPLASHTOP OR TEAMVIEWER to Connect to your office computer if your IT will not allow it then your SOL. It will keep the updated iP on the fly and is just a secure as a VPN .

All of this is true ArthurZey, but you failed to mention t-mobile small business internet throttles ALL streaming services,  even if the productivity filter is lifted. It took 2 weeks and 3 support tickets to finally get a network engineer to confirm they can't "fix" this. His recommendation was to use my VPN if I needed more than 1.5mbps for streaming,  lol.

I am hoping there is a fix for this.  We just switched to Directv stream now that we have good internet.  I noticed a month or so ago that the time on my guide was off by an hour, due to the IP address the DTV stream thought I was in another state.  Not a big deal but now I have had to reset my "home location" twice this week because the IP has changed, DTV Stream only allows 4 changes per year. DTV says it is a T mobile problem  and when I called T Mobile they claim it is a DTV problem, that they need to find a better way to track my location…...

@ArthurZey to use IP Passthrough, first change the LAN settings of the Inseego to a subnet not found on your own router. I set my Inseego to 192.168.12.1/24 subnet (because I had the Nokia trashcan before) and my own equipment is on the 192.168.1.1/24 subnet. Once that was set, I then enabled IP Passthrough and I am still able to access the webGUI. My problem before was both LAN segments matched and my router/gateway had the same IP as the Inseego. 

Also, I'm not sure why anyone is seeing that streaming is a problem as my household is constantly streaming and in many cases, multiple streams happening all at the same time. No issues at all and as compared to the Nokia Home Internet device, the performance is quite a bit better. Although, the static IPv4 adds 4 times the latency, this hasn't impacted really anything at this point. I'll probably just remove this at some point to get better latency.

What streaming service do you have?  I have Directv Stream.  The problem I have is their service allows up to 20 devices on your "home" location and then 2 devices can be logged in when away from home.  As soon as my IP changes, my Directv thinks I am away so it only allows 2 devices to be streaming at a time.  Which half the time is fine, but some nights with a houshold of 4 (2 teenagers) we want to watch more than 2 devices at a time.
