Hotspot IP Changing

Just switched to ID and not noticed this previously.

When connected via phone’s hotspot, public IP address of  other connected devices keeps changing while just browsing. This causes connection problems with some banking websites and, ironically, ID Mobile website! This causes these sites to keep kicking me back to their login pages while browsing my account despite cookies enabled.

Phone reception appears fine so doesnt look like connection drop-out. Is there something awry with the DHCP leasing or some middleware on the network causing the changes? The IP addresses can cycle through 2 to 4 different ones during a session and sometimes appears to settle down to a single one after about half an hour.

Very frustrating

Hey @curlyparkranger69,

Unfortunately, I’m not sure on this one. It might be worth chatting to Live Chat who can raise a ticket with our network provider Three UK.

Thanks.
