So if I understand you, you have now gotten your T-Mobile 5G gateway, shut off its wi-fi (double NAT), and successfully setup your Asus router for dual-wan with T-Mobile primary and Xfinity secondary. If so, have you tested the function by disconnecting T-Mobile, detecting failover to Xfinity, and then reconnecting T-Mobile to confirm fallback to T-Mobile? Are there any "tricks" to this setup? Gracias.
Yes, that's correct. WiFi is turned off on T-Mobile Gateway + it's connected to Asus RT-AX86U 2.5G port, Motorola cable modem for XFinity is connected to ASUS router Wan port. In Dual WAN setup T-Mobile is selected as main Wan, Xfinity as fail-over + fallback checkbox selected (using 5sec ping to google as connection check). When I disconnect T-Mobile Gateway form Asus router XFinity cable kicks in within 10sec, connecting T-Mobile Gateway back makes Asus to fallback to T-Mobile within 10sec.
Any dual WAN I have used in the past would be fine with the TM Gateway.
How well you plug the dual WAN into the ethernet port of the gateway just like you would any other there would be no difference. This seems like to simple of a question maybe you were asking something else.
