Why is the Home Internet Gateway functionality crippled?

Ok, this is not a sane business model.  How do you disable the router or put it into bridge mode so that you can use a real router?  That should NOT break any system or cause any issues.

 

Without being able to do that, you lose all IPV6 functionality on an attached router.  You also have to deal with double NAT issues.  The poor quality wireless is underpowered and not capable of dealing with multiple devices.  Small numbers, yes, large no.  The app, as has been mentioned, is like many other apps, a waste of time and energy.

 

So, we can all agree it is a problem, how do we get it fixed?  How do we put this thing at least into bridge more?  Better would be, how to disable the router completely and just have an interface to the modem???????

Thoughts or suggestions???????

It sounds like T-Mobile Internet isn't the best choice for you. There are aftermarket gateways that have more control options and flexibility but they aren't cheap.
