Verizon 5G Home Internet

I recently switched to Verizon 5G Home Internet and since switching I keep having an issue with my Hulu + Live TV.  Because the IP address keeps changing, it is causing my Hulu service to not recognize my home location.  Each time, I have to contact Hulu to have the IP address updated on my account to get Hulu Live to work.  I talked to a Verizon representative and they told me  that they are not able to have a fixed IP address for home users, only business accounts.  I would like to suggest Verizon look into a way to have a fixed IP address for home users so this doesn't keep happening.  Verizon partners with Hulu and I don't see why they can't figure out a way to have the IP address stay the same so it doesn't impact the Hulu Live services.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a work around?

I'm having the same issue.  Considering changing my dynamic IP address setting to static if the router will allow for this on the admin page.  Any thoughts?

Did this work?  Can you run the Verizon box through a router?  I thought it WAS the router (and modem, all in one box)

Was this ever resolved for any of you? After confirming availability in my area, I was planning on switching over to their Verizon 5G Home Internet. But now I'm concerned with this Hulu issue. Just wondering if this was ever resolved? Thanks in advance!
