Home Internet and wifi extender

Greetings all,

I just wanted to share what I did to get the hub to work with other devices, and why I had to do it this way in the first place. I recently switched internet providers, and went full on T-Mobile, as I have been with them for almost 20 years.

What happened to me was that when I switched providers and gave up my old provider equipment, my MyQ Smart Garage hub stopped working with my security system. I searched around to see if anyone else had this problem(which it seems no one does), but I could not find an answer. But, what I see is many others having similar issues with other devices. When I attempted to connect the MyQ Smart Hub to T-Mobile's Internet Hub, I see a device compatibility issue. 

So the work around I used, which I imagine most people here with legacy devices could use is this:

1.) Get a router with 2.4/5Ghz capabilities

2.) Take one of the ethernet ports on the back of T-Mobile Hub, and plug directly into the router

3.) Go into the admin portion of the router and select "Bridge mode", and leave the settings as default. What this does, is allows the T-mobile hub to act as a gateway, and pass internet traffic through the router to legacy devices. It turns the router into a "Core router", and the hub acts as a "WAN Edge", which is the gateway to the internet.

4.) Create a wifi SSID inside the router, with passphrase and security. This is for all of your legacy devices to connect to.

5.) Once the connection is established between the hub and the router, reboot both. 
 

6.) Connect to router SSID and test internet. If it works, then you are good. This also helps you avoid the 10 device limit on your T-Mobile hub. If you have guests over, or excessive devices exceeding 10, then connect through the router and it ignores that limit.

Sorry its a little lengthy, but I hope this helps some

de ti.
