Re: Paramount+ On Us - but is it?
I'm glad you have some use for it. It wouldn't be so bad if they followed the YouTube model where they use 5 to 30 second ads (with many ads being able to skip after 5 seconds), and spaced out enough that it doesn't take away from the content. Sitting through a 1 minute ads every 5 minutes is just too much to tolerate. DVR or nothing at all, lol.19Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Paramount+ On Us - but is it?
I got Paramount+ and AppleTV+ for "free" last November. AppleTV+ has been great, BUT Paramount+ is really a JOKE. The 30 second to 1 minute ads are appalling, too frequent, an really just makes ALL their content unwatchable. Yes, I could upgrade to ad-free, for $4.99 (last time I looked), BUT, the T-Mobile "free" $4.99 value does NOT apply, so, if I want the ad-free version, I have to pay $9.99 a month. I'd like to watch Pickard and the Star Trek shows, but with the commercials, I'll wait for these shows to come to Blu-Ray.19Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: WiFi router sugestions that can use different IP address for Home Internet 5G Gateway
Thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying. It's just that I have so many IOT devices (almost all on WiFi), I'd hate to be locked out of them because they can't reconfigure themselves. Like I said, I'd just rather have a separate WiFi/LAN Router connected to the Home Internet box, using it as a "modem". It would make my life so much easier.32Visto1like0ComentariosWiFi router sugestions that can use different IP address for Home Internet 5G Gateway
I tried to use the Home Internet 5G Gateway/Router in my home network setup, but unfortunately, the router has it's base IP address (i.e. 192.168.x.x) hard coded into it's OS, and CANNOT be changed. I have an existing large (for home) WiFi/hard wire LAN network setup on IP base of 10.0.x.x. I have way too many IOT devices, multiple PC's, NAS's, and peripherals to think about changing my base IP. If you yourself have done this, you know that once you change the base IP, you can't go back to reconfigure those devices that ONLY communicate via hard wire. With that said, I tried the Home Internet 5G Gateway/Router for a day, and I got decent 50-80MBs data speeds, good enough for home use. However, not being able to change the base IP (which is really unheard of for routers) left this device useless to me. The question, does anyone know of a WiFi Router that can use the Home Internet 5G Gateway/Router as a "modem", then allow the new WiFi Router to set it's own IP configuration? Where I live, I'm a slave to Sectrum Cable (previously Time Warner/Charter), as we have no other internet providers in our area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
