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.
Regarding changing the administrator password, the T-Mobile Internet mobile app allows you to change the password and has had that ability for a long time.
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.
