Very frustrating. You are not the only one who has experienced this problem. I don't know which gateway T-Mobile sent you, but I have the Arcadyan KVD21 5G and this solution may help you.
Go to the phone app and create a new network in addition to the one you're already using. Make the frequency band 2.4 MHz and the WPA version WPA/WPA2. Give it a new name (SSID) and then try and connect your HP and PC.
Make sure you are using DHCP for IP addresses. It may help to completely delete the current setups on those devices and try connecting to them after you've done that. I can only tell you that I have a large network with over 40 devices connected, and I found that the KVD21 had no problem recognizing any device and issuing it an IP.
Thank you. This worked for me as well. However, this defeats the purpose of the 5G Gateway, as I cannot use it to connect to my devices.
