I keep losing my home network and have to re-set it

I keep getting a message stating I am streaming on more than 2 devices in my home and the only way to resolve is to reset my network setting.  I only have one more before I reach my max for the 12 month period.  How can i fix this permanently?

The reason is because you don’t have a static IP and thus your IP location keeps changing. Which ISP do you have? You may be able to request a static IP in order to fix this issue.

That makes sense.  I have CenturyLink for my ISP and I also have an Orbi connected to the CenturyLink for the extended in home network.  Maybe there is something I can do for a static ip between those.

The static IP you would need isn't in your home network, but from your ISP.  That may not be available, and if it is, they will likely charge extra for it.
