Home network update without changing my setup.
Today for the first time I had to reset my home network. This is very concerning as nothing has changed with my home network settings.
Why would this happen all of a sudden ? All posts say that my provider must have changed my IP address. Static IP addresses are not available.
Am I going to forced to drop DIRECTV stream after this happens 3 more times ? Is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening?

Are you telling me they just won’t reset the counter for me when this is clearly a flaw in how DIRECTV handles streaming?
If DIRECTV actually tells me too bad, then I will cancel.
I went a year without any issues until now.

I understand what you are saying, I am just saying canceling as a first reaction is a bit extreme.
Any idea how to set a static IP address? Is it on my router or in my EERO ? I have on unit hardwired to my router, all others are on WiFi from my whole home EERO.

Ok. I checked with my ISP and other ISP’s in my area. None offer a static IP for residential customers, only business customers. Even if I could get a business account it is too expensive.
This has to be an issue for so many, I can’t believe a solution is not being addressed.

I agree that building a service dependent on a static IP address when DTV **knows** that most residential subscribers don't have access to a static IP address, even if they wanted to pay for it. It just seems kinda boneheaded. Is this sustainable?
My apartment complex recently switched from the satellite DirecTV bulk plan to the DTV Stream bulk. The Stream change-over seemed okay until I saw how much of my Internet data is getting chewed up, and now this static IP business. (Edited per community guidelines)!
