My guess is that he plugged a router into the T-Mobile router, as you speculated, and it served the 192.168.12.1 DNS server up on its ethernet segment as the DNS server. No way clients on the second broadcast domain can ever be routed out and back as the T-Mobile router will never know of the ethernet segment on the other side of the other router. In effect he needs to turn that to bridge mode and disable the DHCP server or just shut the old router down. Unless there is a demand for expansion of the wireless to try to cover more area the best solution is to just go with the T-Mobile router. The second router would have the double NAT solution and well that could cause issues as well.
My TMHI Gateway is the router, it is an integral part of a single “box”
OK so that explains the other IP address obtained while in the VPN tunnel. If you are in the VPN tunnel sure you would not be able to access the local gateway address. It makes sense. Good, you have it figured out. I also have the T-Mobile home internet router so I know the beast. Some users try to use their prior router with the T-Mobile router and don't or can't put them in bridge mode and forget about the second DHCP server related to the other device.
Good, you are working!
