Thank you do much for this.  The T-Life App always tells me my Sagecom Fast Gateway is offline.  This works perfectly!

Add me to the chorus of people that want ethernet access to admin the gateway. I don't want to use an app. I'm not an app guy. I hate apps actually.

I am a somewhat advanced user and I use my own hardware firewall/security appliance that I administer on my own LAN and my own wi-fi access points, so I have no need for the gateway wi-fi. I don't use it and, of course, it will conflict with my wi-fi channels/signal.

Please give us a simple admin page on the modem where I can log in via wire and turn the wi-fi on/off. I think you will make a lot of people very happy.

This would preclude people from using the app as my phones are also on my wi-fi so I could access the gateway from a phone on my LAN via wi-fi. So you'll still have app usage and you won't lose anything.

Please - please!

I agree 100%.  I administer networks at work and it makes me insane that I can't manage my home gateway from my PC. I also avoid iOS/Android as much as possible but that's getting more and more difficult.

Also, if anyone knows a workaround for this please let me know. I have the sagemcom FAST5688W

Yea, I’m still useing without issue.

Oh, but I do have a different gateway I have the TMO-G4AR. Not sure if there is a different version for your gateway. My Bad!

HINT is still working for you? You're able to turn off 2.4 and 5ghz wifi? That's great. I'm on a different modem but I'll give it a try. What can I lose. Thanks for that.

At least if they had the T-Mobile app available as an APK file that we could download directly from their website then I could sideload it on an old non-functioning android phone and use it once or twice. If you're listening T-Mobile … make the APK file available as a download direct from you with no Google Play needed.

FYI my modem is not on the newest firmware yet either, so we’ll see how that goes.

Thank you for that. I did see that in another post but after reading those posts I didn't try it because looked like people were saying that it no longer works. Does it still work?
