I just subscribed to the T-Mobile 5G Home internet service.  I ordered the service to be an automatic failsafe backup when my Altice home internet happens to go down for whatever reason. So when I lose internet from cable. The T-Mobile gateway kicks in ASAP.

What is the best and easiest way to set this procedure up?

I want to connect my Arris cable modem to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the T-Mobile Gateway device.  Then run another ethernet port from the second port on the back of the Gateway to my NetGear Orbi wireless router.

 

If NOT I will just send it back and get a NETGEAR LTE modem

 

 

Gracias

Have a nice day

The best thing you can do is get rid of tmobile. You're welcome. 

You need a router that supports dual wan with failover, this is my setup now

It’s called a UPS

IMHO, TMHI is not a good backup plan for other ISPs. The big failure point is widespread power outages. T-Mobile does not backup all (or even most) sites (towers) with generators to provide power during blackouts. Rather, relying on batteries which last only a few hours. Additionally, when lights go out an the wired ISPs and TV stops working, everyone gets on their cell phones and starts chatting, saturating the capacity.
