How to change the Wifi and LAN IP subnet
I just got a Tmobile 5G Home hotspot and set it up. It's working but it's built in DHCP server is handing out a subnet of 192.168.12.x /24 on both the Wifi and LAN ports. I would like to change this, or at least change the Wifi. The built in wifi will be useless to me unless I can change this IP. I have a home internet distribution system, Cisco access points on all the floors that blow away the built in wifi this thing has. And I don't trust the security in this device to keep my networks secure. If anyone knows how to change the IP please let me know. Thanks, David
WARNING: Tech support just told me that the NEWER hubs do not support IP4
Trying to triage the issue below and the tech read from some specification documents that the new models do not support IP4, you must upgrade to a business plan The following was from my PC wired into the hub From Home: Tracing route to microbiomeprescription.com [205.144.171.116] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 * * * Request timed out. 2 * 192.168.1.1 reports: Destination net unreachable.

Rapid changes in my Dynamic IP Address
Recently the dynamic public IP address assigned to me by T-Mobile Home Internet service started behaving differently. The IP address (reported by google when doing a google search for "what is my ip address") changes very rapidly, about once per second, sometimes even faster. This is very strange. All the dynamic IP addresses I've had assigned in the past by other internet service providers (cable, dsl, etc.) did change over time, but the changes were only once or twice per day, not once per second. The problem with the rapid changes is that some websites detect IP address changes and consider this a security risk. For example if I'm trying to log in to a website, I will enter my username and then enter my password, but when I click "login" button the website will take me immediately back to a blank login page. Or when I try to log in to webmail at my domain hosting provider it will post an error message saying "your IP address has changed..." and won't let me log in. Again, some websites are sensitive to the rapid IP address changes, others are not. I did not experience these problems when I first started using T-Mobile Home Internet service (early part of this year) on the specific websites that are currently having problems, so the rapidly changing public/dynamic IP address seems to be a recent issue. Since my public dynamic IP address is assigned by the T-Mobile system, that's where the problem exists. It is not a problem with my computers, home network, etc. I made a screen capture video showing the rapidly changing IP addresses - I hope the T-mobile engineers (I have a support ticket submitted) can view this video to help understand what's going on. Anyone can view the video, here's the link: Demonstration of Rapidly Changing Public IP AddressLAN and WIFI Bridged or not?
I installed the TMobile 5G home internet and it works pretty good. I'm in rural PA and only get poor reception for TMobile. Does anyone know if the LAN interface is bridged to the WIFI interface? It seems that my Wifi devices cannot see the devices on the LAN interface. There are literally no settings in the device that I can control. As soon as I got this thing I wanted to put it on a designated subnet but that seems impossible. Seems that 192.168.12.x is hardcoded. I got around the subnet issue but now I need to bridge the lan and wifi interfaces. It seems almost as if the wifi interfaces are firewalled against the the lan interfaces. Thanks, David
