i have home internet from Tmobile. is there a way to set my location on the modem.because of this i can only cast my hulu to tv, i cant use roku
How do you set your location so u can use hulu app on roku
Unfortunately, no. The modems location is based on the tower you are connected to as well as where that connection makes it to the server. T-Mobile internet is not compatible with Hulu Live TV in most markets because of this.
Hulu and other streaming services that use the IP's geolocation data are likely placing you in a different market to what is on your account.
ie: I live in Florence, SC... but sling, hulu, etc. think I am in Charlotte, NC (over a 2 hour drive away).
This happens because the XLAT464/CGNAT sort of tunnel approach they took to deal with IPV4 across their IPV6 only network is sending me to an exchange point in Charlotte.
Basically, it is acting like a VPN, so everything that relies on the IP to determine location gets it wrong.
Go to myip.ms or run the default speedtest.net test and note the area they both detect/assign you.
Speedtest always picks sites in/around Charlotte by default. So I always manually pick a different location for my tests, typically the same handful of places that represent where I typically go to get a better picture of actual throughput (mostly where certain games are hosted).
