Does tmobile read these forums? It is absolutely imperative that they un-lobotomize the firmware to provide the ability to 1. disable wifi, 2. change the admin password. this is pathetic.

I’m sure they will add the ability to turn wi-fi off at some point, although for non-technical folks who don’t have their own 3rd party router configured the right way, doing so would prevent the mobile app from communicating with the gateway, so that may be a reason this hasn’t been prioritized.
My networking friend tells me that an idle wi-fi network does not cause much (if any) interference/congestion, so I wouldn’t sweat the T-Mo gateway wi-fi being on so long as you don’t have any devices actively connecting to it.
Hi - This unit has issues with overheating and causing issues. If you have your own router connected via ethernet, even more so. Turning off the wifi option removes this extra source that causes it to overwork.
