  From the peanut gallery: what identity changes, and what device are you
  using?

I have T-Mobile using the TMO-G4AR device and I don't see any identity
changing, none of the gateway address (192.168.12.1) nor either the
WiFi user or admin id and password.


Apparently he is using a modem acting as an USB ethernet interface, that
randomizes the MAC for some odd reason, and ends up having a different
enx[MAC] interface name each time it is power cycled.


Cell service was obvious. All the local providers EXCEPT T-Mobile
insisted my *ONLY* option was a smartphone(sic). The T-Mobile salesman
asked intelligent questions about what I wanted to accomplish. He sold
me a WiFi Hotspot. When I set it up I chose the option to disable WiFi.
Effectively I now have a very hi-speed modem.


What device did the T-Mobile salesman sell you?  Is it the TMO_G4AR?



No.
When I open 192.168.0.1 the Device Information page says "Alcatel LINKZONE 9530".
Can you point me to a page describing what it does for me. My device can fit in my shirt pocket. 


I forget what you may have said about your computer, but I gave my computers
static addresses in the 192.168.12 subnet (it was a pain to change some of
those computers and other devices).  I set the gateway and first DNS to be
192.168.12.1 (and the 2nd, for now, to be 8.8.8.8) and I have Internet
connectivity.


I do not have a network at home. A Dell Latitude E6410 meets all my needs.
