Hello, how did you change the settings of your TMobile hotspot? We recently had to switch to TMobile from Sprint due to their merger. It was going okay till the same thing happened to us. It a stressful situation with 6 kids 😳

You go to your account with t-mobile on a computer, the address that stars with 192., etc. then follow the instructions that I commented on.

Go to your hotspots website, the page that starts with 192, then go to settings, then mobile network, then APN, then add a profile (I just did profile5 fast.t-mobile.com) and select IPV4. Select that profile that you made and click save changes. Restart your hotspot and it should work.

Where did you find the .com and how and where do you type it in with the IpV4? Neither ROKU or Metro PCS/T-Mobile could help me with this. Thank you.

Instructions for changing APN can be found here. (https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/t-mobile-hotspot)

Look specifically under "Connections and Network", then expand "Network and APN".

Login to the WebGui and either follow these instructions or those posted by @cdmilton88 above for an example APN.  Basically you need to verify IPv4 is selected after creating a new APN name.

Create a new APN (Access Point Name)
Your mobile hotspot comes pre-configured with the access point name (APN) for your network service provider. The mobile hotspot checks the APN to determine the type of network connection to establish.

Access the hotspot WebUI Manager.
Click Settings > Network Settings.
Click the Add button under the APN list. A pop-up box will appear to create new APN.
Enter the Profile Name of APN.
Enter the APN.
Enter the Username and Password.
Select Authentication Mode: PAP or CHAP.
Select IPType: IPv4 or IPv4v6.
