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.
The metrics seem to suggest to me you are not receiving any 5G frequency. It is so low it can't even register the 5G. That explains the speeds you get as they are primarily due to the 4G LTE signal. I have seen my upload push up to 60 MBs when on the B66 LTE signal.
Clearly it is in a bad spot for receiving 5G. You should get onto cell mapper.net and look for 5G T-Mobile cells in the area. That is the main issue I have with the T-Mobile gateway is that placement is so critical and the antennas are all contained and there is no quick attachment for external antennas for locations where the external antenna is needed.
Overall though the service here is good. Some users with the Sagemcon gateway have had issues with them starting to reboot frequently after a week or so of operation and found the problem repeated. Not all but some so it is not without some trials to get things happy. Some of the gateways don't do well with heat so placement due to potential over heating is also another factor to contend with.
