Re: DNS Resolution phone = yes home internet = no ???
To Summarize: Power Cycling several times it just presented me with its same 192.168.X.X number but after using the Reset button it used a new IP and resumed DNS connectivity. I have been running into this issue more frequently this past couple of months, at one point the only option the T-Mobile presented was to do an RMA of the 5G home internet device. Just recently discovered through trial and error that if you’re encountering this problem, power cycling the T Mobile 5g home internet device does not reset its own Automatic DHCP settings (at least it did not with my device). To accomplish this I actually used that tiny Reset button on the back, just a regular press and release, did not factory reset. After doing that I noted that the device’s home network IP address changed and it was able to successfully reconnect to full DNS networking. From what little I know about network engineering I would guess some sorta lease information just does not trigger a reset as it should when the lease information is expired for your device on their network. I have gone entire weeks without issue, but at minimum it seems to take at least 24+ hours before it happens again.32Views0likes0Comments
