Hi all, 

 

I’ve recently have purchased a dongle since I’ve had Wi-Fi issues at home and wanted personal network for work. And I can’t access my work without a static IP, the person who sold me the contract has convinced me that it’s going to have a static ip and I could work as normal. I’ve been having loads of issues where I can’t work consistently please help me out.

Vodafone's WiFi dongles not only don't have static IPs, but they actually use CG-NAT - as do most mobile-based internet services in the UK!

 

While CG-NAT can be pretty bad for gaming, in general it's not too problematic for home working.  Your works network guys really should have a solution that does not require remote workers to have a static IP!
