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.
I finally got my new 5g gateway working today after removing the sim card from the old LTE device and put it to this one.
I changed the wifi SSID to my old one and my door bells and thermometers are now all working (hate to reset and connecting all).
Except my printer. the old gateway was 192.168.1.1 and my laser (etherneted) was set to 192.168.1.101. on the old gateway I can use manual ip assignment. of course right now due to the change to 192.168.12.1, that does not work any more.
In addition, the new gateway wont show me all the IPs/Mac address of devices, wireless or not.
so now I have to print a page from my printer to see what IP it has, and then have to change my port on my computer….I have 2 printers.
Yes, I tried to see if I can change the default ip back to 192.168.1.1. but I could not.
