WiFi router sugestions that can use different IP address for Home Internet 5G Gateway
I tried to use the Home Internet 5G Gateway/Router in my home network setup, but unfortunately, the router has it’s base IP address (i.e. 192.168.x.x) hard coded into it’s OS, and CANNOT be changed. ...

I simply unplugged my existing router from the cable modem and plugged it into the TMobile Gateway. My router picked up a 192.168.12.X address and everything worked. I disabled all of the SSIDs on the Gateway so I wouldn't have that wifi network enabled. As long as your existing router is set for DHCP on the WAN interface it should work. Everything stayed the same on the home network behind the router.
This is the way to go problem solved.
Thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying. It's just that I have so many IOT devices (almost all on WiFi), I'd hate to be locked out of them because they can't reconfigure themselves. Like I said, I'd just rather have a separate WiFi/LAN Router connected to the Home Internet box, using it as a "modem". It would make my life so much easier.
