Turn off Wifi?

I just added mesh wifi to my T-Mobile home internet and now I get great 5 GHz signal everywhere in my house. I'd like to turn off the wifi on my G4AR gateway and use the dedicated mesh as the primary...

    Had the same question when I started using the service. Download the app called HINT. That will turn it off and also hide the SSID.

I got the HINT app from Google Playstore and now have access to turn off the wifi (although I haven't tried it yet). I'm pretty disappointed though the T-Mobile has decide to lock down the gateway to this extent and I'm leery of relying on a third party app for such access (not a comment on the app itself it's just that T-Mobile could do something to break this without warning or the app could become unsupported).

I'm going to have to think about whether to keep this service going forward based on these issues. Hopefully someone from T-Mobile reads these comments.

TMHI updated the firmware, after I already used HINT to turn off WiFi Radios and hid SSID. Nothing broke, G4AR is now even faster with the update firmware.
