Re: Home Internet - I do not recognize a device on my network
Was about to post another reply about this. Yes that's very likely what it is. Randomized MACs are intended to make it harder to track your device as it connects to various WiFi networks. I'm a software guy by trade, and my concern is exactly that purging. There doesn't seem to be a way of doing manually. One hopes that there's some timestamping and autodeletion of those dead MAC IDs. Can probably do an experiment of reducing the device limit to something below your current list length and see what the gateway does with it.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - I do not recognize a device on my network
You made me look closer: If you've had any device connected even once, it's added to that list. I have the MAC of my PC that I had connected only once via ethernet in the list. It's apparently a historical list, not a current list.7Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Home Internet - I do not recognize a device on my network
I assume you've gotten the MAC IDs off each of your devices and compared? Maybe there's a device you hadn't considered like a smartwatch or somesuch? MAC IDs are inherent to the device and cannot be changed. They can be spoofed, but I highly doubt T-Mobile would have a need to do that. The router could assign a new IP when you connect, I haven't paid much mind to that as it usually doesn't matter.7Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: IP Location issue

I am typically "homed" out of Charlotte, NC even though I live in Florence, SC. As such, my Sling TV wants to give me local content for the Charlotte area. Kinda annoying, but this solution is saving me a substantial amount against Spectrum's standard rates… and I was tired of haggling constantly with them for a little $10 discount here and there just to TRY to keep the cost somewhat reasonable. Once in a blue moon I will get shot off somewhere in left field. Sometimes a simple reboot resolves it. Have had to do a full power down for a few minutes a couple times though. While it isn't exactly ideal, it is one of those pros/cons things you sometimes have to deal with if you are trying to save money or otherwise just want to try an alternative option. I miss the ability to open ports properly as well. So far it hasn't been a critical issue, as I am not doing any multiplayer games that REQUIRE it--but if I do get around to that again, I will likely have to go back to Spectrum on their intro rate if TMO doesn't figure out a better way to do dual-stack IP's. syaoran, are you saying this is T-Mobile's design and is inherent to the service? I'm apparently being located to a place 700 miles away. It's sort of humorous to get ads for New Mexico businesses on the Roku, but this could be a more serious problem with some websites and services.11Visto4likes0Comentarios
