For those with FWA (like T-Mobile 5G Home or Verizon 5G Home) how does DirecTV Stream work for you?

I’ve been doing some research around (have satellite but plan to switch to Stream) and I’ve heard there’s a few issues with FWA services and DirecTV Stream including constantly changing IP addresses messing with the amount of streams you can have on one account. As well as my geolocation being in other places etc.

Has anyone else run into this? I use Verizon 5G Home Internet for my house since cable and fiber aren’t available.

This is definitely an issue. Without a static IP ( your IP address is constant), DIRECTV STREAM has no way of ensuring that you are in your home location. Therefore, as the IP address keeps changing, you’ll be given an error on a streaming device that you aren’t in your home network. Currently, DIRECTV STREAM only allows 4 location ‘changes’ every year so after your IP address keeps changing you are eventually stuck.
