Home Internet Static IP

Same issue. Working from home and work has systems that require whitelisted IPs. Every time the IP  address changes, I’m sending an email and going through some hoops to get things working appropriately. Really needing a long-term solution to this issue, T-Mobile. 

This post needs to stay on top, I also need a static IP addresses. My IP changes daily  without rebooting. My located is always right. T-Mobile are you listening.

I have the same issue. I’m working from home and in the last two days IP was changed many times and every time I need to ask our Administrator to whitelist these IPs.

I, too, am having this problem. I have the small business internet. I have spent around 2 hours on the phone trying to fix this issue. I was told they could give me one, but the department was past hours. When I called back, I was told the same thing, then I was told that they could not do so for a small business account, only a corporate account. They said my IT could do it for me. I am my IT, as my business is just me. I was confident I would be able to do so, as I have configured for gaming in the past. Alas, I am not educated enough. I saw no advanced controls on this gateway to do anything like it. This is where I ended up. I will be calling them again tomorrow, as I am done for the day after 2 hours on the phone. Everyone has been excellent; however, I do wish I was able to get a static IP address easier.

@foxhoundvenom I invite you to RTFM and find the setting for configuring static IP on Nokia gateways. Perhaps it's available on the generic Nokia Fastmile, or on other carriers' variants. 

The Hulu app has the same issue. It thinks you’ve moved and then won’t accept what it thinks is your new location. Had to chat with a Hulu rep. to resolve it, but it will undoubtedly happen again when the gateway IP changes.

That’s technically incorrect. 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.

It is dynamic. I have to reboot my Gateway at least once a week, sometimes more often. That makes me very sad. The problem for me with dynamic IP is my DirectTV Stream service uses a static IP to determine my home location. Yep, I know that is stupid, but that is what they do. So every time I reboot the Gateway, DirectTV Stream thinks I have moved. At this point they must think I live in a bus.They allow four moves in a year, then they lock you out of the max streams allowed of 20 (again, a ridiculous limit), and then cap you at two streams for another year. 

As I understand it, no. All IPs are dynamic, firewalled and NATed.
