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.
You *might* be able to route through the Flint router, IF it supports a Policy Based Routing schema or you set up the port-forwarding for whatever the modem requires (between the VLAN and your WAN segments).
If your router has an obvious way to do this, or you want to dig into whatever forwarding the TMo Gateway, then you'll be able to access it through the secondary (Flint) router (ports or wireless) connection. I can explain how to do this with several SMB (Unifi, Cisco, et.) router-platforms, but I have no exposure to the whatever lineup/manufacturer the Flint router is from.
Posting on their forums is probably the best way to determine how to do this, on that platform, IME, since the people there will be familiar with the necessary forwarding/routing for that platform.
Or, just plug your laptop/whatever into the TMo Gateway, when you want to make changes on it, simpler, but less elegant, I suppose.
Edit: I see now, that's a GL-iNet router, rebranded (the MT6000 model). That's a good platform (I use one of their setups as a travel-router for VPN back to my home-Unifi VPN and for Tailscale), and I'm confident if you search around and/or ask this in their forums you'll find an answer to this.
