Can't connect Google Mini to T-Mobile Home Internet

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile support and they shipped the Home Internet Gateway router knowing that it doesn't work with Google Home devices. They may offer a firmware or other update in the future that fixes the issue, but for now, I was told that they don't work together.
My Google Home Mini works normally with the gateway, from the first day I set the gateway up four months ago. However, I didn't try to configure it. I kept the wifi password the same as it was for my old DSL modem. At first, when I set up the gateway, I went by the number of characters they suggested for the wifi password, or whatever, and once I had one device set up, I used the "change the wifi password (SSID)" function in the app, changed it to my old wifi password and all my smart devices connected normally.
There are about a dozen known quirks of T mobile home internet, and not working with google home devices (including the Google Home Mini) is not one of them.
There are at least 300,000 users of T mobile home internet and probably more than a couple thousand who use Google Home devices. It's so important to me, I don't know what I'd do without it, if it didn't work. So, my suggestion is if you have your old connection service provider still, see if you can get the Google Home Mini working with that, and then do a factory reset (paper clip in hole at top of black inset on gateway), go through the entire setup again, but this time at some point, after one device is connected, change your wifi password to the one the mini uses in your old wifi setup, and see if that works. I wish I could be more help, and offer something simpler to do. Maybe someone else will.
