disable wifi and routing on high spped gateway
I have a dedicated firewall and wifi already setup and would like to disable wifi and routing in the t-mobile device so that it's effectively just a modem. Is this possible with this device?
Here is my 2 cents on this:
- There is no way to change the ethernet / wifi subnet. It is 192.168.12.0/24. Same ipv4 subnet bridged across wireiess/wired. There is also ipv6.
- You can disable wifi, with a little work. You'll need to go into each of the 12 SSIDs and turn off 'enable SSID'. Status page will still show wifi on, with channel and strength. But, in statistics / WLAN page, it should show as: 2.4GHz WLAN Connection Disabled5GHz WLAN Connection Disabled
As far as I can tell, wifi is not on at this point.
It would be great in situations like this to be able to have this device bridge external to internal interface like many cable modems allow, passing the external IP directly to an internal firewall / router device. But, that isn't an option.
If you use your own router / firewall, you are likely double NATing.
External IP - Home Gateway - 192.168.12.x - firewall - internal IP space
Not pretty, but will likely work for many types of connections.
