4G Hotspot

[rollins121]

Is a Hotspot a good idea? What are the benefits?

Very good to use. That's all I use...Super easy to change IP's, just have to power cycle the device, portable, etc etc etc...I have a Sprint hotspot, works perfect for me.

How long does it take to get a new IP?

the same time it takes to turn off and turn on your hotspot

So I signed up for Verizon mobile hotspot today for my iphone. Problem is the IP is not changing. I reset the phone, the pc drops the connection, the phone reconnects to cellular and grabs the same IP. It is a private IP in the 172.xxx range. Anybody else have this problem?

Any advice?

Hotspot is using your phone as the IP source?

^^^^^^^ nevermind.... I forgot to IPBurger the address and it was indeed different.
