Just received my 5G gateway and kind of sad
I just setup my 5G gateway (G4SE)and I am just very sad on the access to features it has. Well i should say a huge lack of features. I have my own gear for routing with mesh Wi-Fi that works perfectly. The huge downside is that you cant put this thing in bypass or pass threw mode. So if i do use it on my network i will get a double NAT and that sucks!!! In this world today you would think that even the cheapest gateways/modems would have bypass mode. The speed are good so far 200-280 dl 5-20 up. latency is better then my Starlink so the son would be happy for gaming.
Is there anything that can be done?
@Bmorunning, many of us feel your pain and wish the TM gateways were a little more verbose in the settings area. But, the gateway pretty much provide much internet access only. Like you I have a mesh (eero) system and all works well. But I had to put my primary WiFi mesh router into bridge mode, and let the gateway perform DHCP and hand out IP address to devices that want to connect.
I hope this helps.

ya I here ya. Need and isp that can passthrough. Was hoping to have both t-mobile and starlink with my tp-link that has balancing and fallback wans. I guess Ill pay with it for a few days and send it back for the 15 day trail.
