When can I JUST use TM internet modem as ONLY a modem, in BRIDGE mode, with NO NAT, NO firewall, and frankly NO Wifi.
PLEASE let me know when can get a PLAIN modem from T-Mobile, or BUY my own modem, or SET their modem up to DUPLICATE the functionality of Spectrum. I can't and won't change, until and unless I can ...
The t-mobile gateway is just a pass through device that connects to my mesh router setup by hard wire. Connected to that, I have a hub for 1 Pc and 1 printer and wifi to 1 other printer, a photo scanner, a laptop, 2 ipads, 3 iphones, 2 smart tvs streaming multiple services, 3 echo devices, and several appliances. We can be streaming on both tvs and using both ipads with no service issues. I will say it depends on how close you are to a tower. We are about 2 miles away, line of sight. I do not know the full details of your network, but it may be more than the t-mobile gateway was designed to handle.
