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.
For those wanting remote access, just use a free version of TeamViewer. It works fine and is free. To view cameras, if you don't use a cloud service for viewing since that works already with just an internet connection, just log into a computer at home using TeamViewer (or whatever you want) and view the cameras that way. You can even do that from a phone or tablet is you wish.
Yep, it's a bit to setup everything, but it works well and I use it all the time. Don't give up, just do things a bit different and it's no problem.
