Can Hotspot plans be changed?
Hello, I have a MiFi hotspot with a TMo 100GB/month plan. I am thinking I would like to change that plan to one of the newer TMo hotspot plans - probably the 5GB/$20 month plan using the same device that I have - already paid for that I bought through TMo. Is that possible - can the type of plan and the cost be easily changed for a hotspot?I don't need a new one and don't want to just cancel what I have since I have other devices on the same account and don't want to lose access to the account. Who would I need to talk to about this - any ideas greatly appreciated. ¡Gracias!36Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mo Nokia 5G21 Internet Gateway for Hulu or YouTube LIve TV Home Network

You think T Mobile would know that before offering the service. Really a bone headed screw up in my book. Indeed!! I have been checking the IP address for my TMo connection on my laptop, and so far🤞 it has been the same each time. It is also the same IP I can see in my Paramount+ settings on my Roku, so I wonder if it may be more stable than some of the IP addresses? Or is it a different one that I can't see, I wonder. I had chatted with Hulu and they said to just call them if it happens, and they'll fix it - but that could get to be a really annoying thing in the middle of a football game LOL! In any case - we may give it a try and see if it works, or look into some other services that don't rely on that IP address for local programming, which we really aren't that concerned about since we do have an antenna. Thanks for the replies. I'll post back if there are any other developments of interest!18Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mo Nokia 5G21 Internet Gateway for Hulu or YouTube LIve TV Home Network
Thanks! I have read through a lot of the discussions, but was hoping that maybe something had changed in the past month or two. Seems that the problem is Hulu's - and maybe they need to do a little rethinking of the location issue since I'm sure a lot of people won't be getting their service if this location issue is a problem. But - why does TMo need to change the IP address from time to time? Wish they could give a static IP and avoid this problem altogether. Thanks for the reply.23Visto0likes0ComentariosT-Mo Nokia 5G21 Internet Gateway for Hulu or YouTube LIve TV Home Network
Hello, I am looking for some current information about using my T-Mo Nokia 5G21 Gateway device with an unlimited internet account to stream Hulu+ Live TV. I have read about the need for a Home network, and since that device is not going to be used anywhere but in my home, I am concerned about the possible changing IP address that may make it look like the device is in a different place than my home. I know that it says that the location is used to provide the local TV channels - networks that I can get on my antenna, so I am not too concerned that the device may connect to a different part of the state and have a different set of local channels. What I am concerned about is that if the IP address changes, will the device still work? I wondered if anyone here had any experience recently with this type of device and one of the live TV streaming services? Or is there a range of area - say IP addresses that are perhaps 100 or 200 miles from where I am that might still be considered "Local"? Or, as long as I am using my Roku in my living room, will it not be an issue? Thanks so much for any help!182Visto0likes5ComentariosRe: NOK 5G21 Gateway Battery Backup
Hello, I am bringing this discussion back to ask a few questions about the various backups that are discussed in this thread. Couldn't find a way to start a new discussion - hopefully someone will see this and reply. I just got aNOK 5G21 Gateway and am looking for a battery backup that will keep it running for several hours in a power outage. I looked into theShanqiu Mini UPS Battery Backup that is mentioned here, along with a more powerful one, also by Shanqui. I am wondering if anyone has used either of those lately and if they work to not only keep the device powered in an outage, but also continue to allow the 5G signal to work. Any thoughts are appreciated.8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Mysterious cellular data usage in early morning
I am noticing this as well with my new Inseego 5G Mifi 2000 hotspot. The device is turned off between 8 p.m. and 7 am, yet for the past 3 days - since it was first activated, there are usages for the times it is off: 10/20/2021,05:59 AM Internet Access 119.1162 MB 10/20/2021,03:59 AM Internet Access 115.6943 MB 10/21/2021,06:46 AM Internet Access 4.247 MB 10/21/2021,06:43 AM Internet Access 3.0634 MB 10/22/2021,06:48 AM Internet Access 25.624 MB 10/22/2021,05:07 AM Internet Access 579.7646 MB (YIKES!!) 10/23/2021,03:58 AM Internet Access 126.414 MB And it actually shows usage BEFORE that device was even delivered to me on 10/19/2021 at 11:58 AM - it wasn't even turned ON till after 12 noon that day: 10/19/2021,11:28 AM Internet Access 82.1406 MB 10/19/2021,10:35 AM Internet Access 75.4375 MB 10/19/2021,09:58 AM Internet Access 18.5195 MB 10/19/2021,09:37 AM Internet Access 18.4746 MB Would anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it or who to call? This seems very suspicious to me. My old device - a Franklin R910 on Sprint has NO usage when the device is off!4Visto0likes0Comentarios
