Full configuration of DHCP and other network services
Is there a way to get into a configuration screen for the KVD21 5G Gateway? Ideally, I'd like to connect my gateway to an existing TP-Link router to supply wireless and DHCP. I can work around the wi...
Users do not have the ability to disable the DHCP on the gateway. The gateway cannot be configured in bridge mode either. Users can connect a second wireless router and have a double NAT solution but that is the only solution. If you go out watch the Nater Tater YouTube video you can see the workaround he has for disabling the wireless on the Arcadyan gateway. It is possible but T-Mobile does not promote this. Still it is a possible path to take. Nate clearly provides the information and it is not difficult.
Just to give you an idea about the cellular metrics. I get three bars on both primary and secondary signals but since it is an n41 5G NR signal on the secondary my downloads can be 200-300 MBs download and the uploads with the B66 LTE frequency are usually around 28-54 MBs so it is plenty of bandwidth for our needs. Every location and cell is a bit difference for the delivery so results vary quite a bit even when the metrics look good or excellent.
You can test with Speedtest.net or say speed.cloudflare.com or fast.com or others and sort of get some good feedback from different tools. I like the cloud flare tool as the test seems pretty comprehensive.
