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.
I am facing issue where I keep Orbi mesh router in Router mode as I use parental controls, and there is no internet detected by Orbi on WAN port on Orbi web admin screen when I connect it to Arcadyan.
Interestingly, if I select 'available via Orbi' Wi-Fi in android phone's available WIFI connections for Orbi router, device gets 192.168.12.x IP address and it works fine, but when I select regular Orbi Wi-Fi, device gets 192.168.1.x IP and no internet is available on it.
So somehow Orbi is giving out 192.168.12.x IP to some devices even though Orbi is in router mode!
Is this due to double NAT or IPV6 or something that is beyond my basic networking understanding?
I see all devices given 192.168.1.x IP address by Orbi in admin UI, but I also see some devices given 192.168.12.x IP address in Arcadyan android app devices tab for the devices that can get internet through Orbi.
I have not disabled Wi-Fi on Arcadyan and not sure if that contributes in any way to my issues.
Any inputs on my situation are highly appreciated.
