Re: Home Internet Static IP
@ghostlee13 Please know what your talking about before assuming. Further education is as follows: ISP's (Internet Service Providers) can hand out static IP addresses to their customers and depending on how secure they want to make it can utilize a modem's MAC (Media Access Control) Address in combination with login details to do so. This is the static IP address that @jlillard is referring to, because your public IP address is the one that shows up when you remote into another device external to your intranet (hence internet). The static IP address that I am presuming you are referring to since you were telling me to look it up on the manual for the gateway router, is for internal network routing purposes, thereby being any device in the internal network. He works from home over the internet, he is not trying to access clients internally on is own network. So whereby you are correct in that you cannot setup internal static IP addresses, you are incorrect as to what the question was actually.5Visto6likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet Static IP

Policy wise this may be correct if T-Mobile set up a policy that at lower levels the tech doesn't have rights to change this. Now if T-Mobile created their own software for their routers and purposefully left out the capability to do this, then yes there wouldn't be a way (without reprogramming). Which would mean that technically they can. ISP's do this all the time and usually they do it for a small monthly fee, which would be smart from a business standpoint because then there would be more happy customers and they get more money. If they try to use the excuse that it would be too big of a headache, that would be a lie because then why would other companies offer this? It would only be an excuse so they wouldn't have to offer it. Now don't get me wrong, I love T-Mobile, but in this area for static IP's, if they want to continue great customer service that I have had for the past 5 years, they would offer this.23Visto14likes0Comentarios
