Static IP with home internet or business internet?
Is it possible for me to get one or more static IP addresses if i sign up for either T-Moble home internet or T-Mobile busness internet? Ideally, I need 2 or 3 static IP addresses. Also, if I move to a different location where T-Mobile home or business internet is offered, would I get to keep the same static IP addresses? Thank you very much.
t-mobile Home Internet - Location Issue
I live in Los Angeles County California, and the home internet is showing the different sites that I am in Las Vegas. This creates a problem from things like streaming YouTube TV, to access my local channels. Spent many hours with Home Internet (they act like they have never heard of the problem - yet I have seen some comment on this chat (doesn't T-Mo monitor the chat room, (another question for another day))). It was suggested that I wire my personal router into the T-Mo router, and at first it appeared to work but then when I went to You Tube it showed location as Vegas again, An hour on chat with You-tube (this person appeared to know what they were talking about) and he finally said that You tube uses your IP address to determian where you have access and since my was saying Vegas that all they can do. Anyone have any suggestions on a work around, I would hate to go back to Spectrum to solfe the issue.
Gateway static IP
I just got the 5G Gateway. There appears to be no way to control IP addresses assigned to the devices accessing the internet through the Gateway, therefore each time it is rebooted the IP address for any given device is likely to change. I have a WiFi enabled music hard drive that is accessed by a couple amplifiers in different rooms to play music from my stored collection. The access requires a consistent IP address. Until T-Mobile expands the user interface control to include defining static IP addresses for specific devices, I can not use the built-in router function. Fortunately you can hardwire an external router that has this function, like any of the Netgear routers. Unfortunately, the speed of service drops with this approach. It is still good, but not as good as it should be - dropping from 436MBps to 154MBps. It's still a lot better than the speeds I had with CenturyLink, but I would like to see T-Mobile upgrade their app to allow this IP address control. Others have expressed the same kind of need for various WiFi device-to-device communication.
