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.
Bocaboy, I don't want to put it in AP mode so that I can use parental controls.
I took out orbi rbk50 from junction box and plugged in a different ethernet cable directly to WAN port of orbi from arcadyn instead of using wire going inside the walls of my house to the junction box, and it resolved my above issues.
I am not sure why using the pre wired ethernet cable going inside the walls was causing these issues and I was using same cable for orbi satellite for backhaul without issues. Probably that cable goes through some switch or something that causes the issues?
But with plugging another short cable directly to orbi works and everything is looking good right now including parental controls.
