Thank you, Ron, but believe me….none of this worked even after the 3 hours on the phone with Netgear.

- Login into extender and complete setup to TMobile Gateway’s wifi
Optional - I would separate my 5 and 2.4G wifi bands with their own SSID on the TMobile gateway and the wifi extender to help trouble shoot.
