How do I change the IP to other IP than 192.168.12.x?
Lack of ability to change LAN IP addressing is a pretty huge defect. Carriers need to get their heads past the idea that the average home is only a laptop or two on wifi. Granny with her iPad is not the target for this product, so why design the software limitations for Grandma’s ease of use?
It’s a new device though, and otherwise pretty exciting, so let’s hope better configurability is coming in the future.
I’m curious if one could just use DHCP guarding on a managed switch to block the “unauthorized” DHCP server built into the router--Allowing one’s own LAN server to handle DHCP without interference. It won’t change the .12 addressing limitation, but at least it would make node IP assignment controllable.
There are worse things than double NAT to be honest. In fact, with more of a commercial setup, using NAT to deconflict overlapping address spaces is a thing.
I am evaluating if I can replace a Cox cable modem service with this device. It’s less than 1/3 the price of Cox for similar rated speed. Around these parts, Cox has no actual competition, so they charge eyewatering amounts. $164/month in my case. I’ll go though some pain to drop my bill to $50 from $164. Good for T-Mobile for coming to slay Goliath.
But T-Mobile - let us configure the LAN settings! Please!
