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.
Rich, is it possible the cable in the wall exceeds 300 ft.? If so, that would be the problem. Ethernet is limited to 300 ft. before it would have to plug into a switch for another run. The Orbi might be able to make sense of it, but not the T-Mobile gateway, especially if it's a run close to the maximum Ethernet cable length.
