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.

I downloaded hint on my iPhone and found the place to disable wifi. There was a giant warning about needing a wired connection to enable wifi if I want it back.
Can someone tell me what a wired connection would look like? My MacBook Air doesn't have a wired internet connection. I have a windows laptop that does have this connection but not sure how I would be able to log into the g4ar from there and use hint to enable wifi.
Is there a exe file that loads hint onto the windows laptop, and do I just run an ethernet cable from the laptop to the wan slot on the g4ar?
Many thanks. I am using a flint 2 router and want to turn off all other wifi signals, I believe they are causing interference.
If you have the WAN port of the router now connected to the gateway via an Ethernet cable (cat 6e for instance) you have a wired connection. You may need to make a route to the gateway in your router. Once that is done, you should be able to connect to the gateway with your iPhone using a wifi address on the router's subnet This works for me anyway, YMMV.
