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.
no, the new 5g gateway not only has a different IP (192.168.12.1 instead of 192.168.1.1), but also it has no static IP for home devices. and because it kept rebooting itself, it is assigning a different IP each day for my two printers. this of course creates problems for me.
when will Tmobile make a better firmware update with a basic router control we all need? (static ip, DMZ, port forwarding, etc, which are all lacking now).
