Ok so I found AP mode to my Deco and the AX1800 is the primary router. Anyone know how to disable the WiFi on the gateway?

I was looking at the eero mesh wifi router on Amazon, but before I spend that much money on something I want to make sure it would work with TMobiles wifi. Cannot find any info about this eero mesh. Any help or suggestions for other systems is greatly appreciated. The Eero Mesh system is it's own network by default. Basically the Eero system will have it's own network & password with it's own built in security, if you plug it into the TM gateway Eero system input port (usually the yellow T5 network plug) There are ways to get extra fancy and modify the WiFi devices into Access Point mode (AP mode) so that the WiFi system you plug in, just extends the gateway systems, but that process varies based on the manufacturer, and I am not that savvy.1Ver0likes0ComentariosRe: TP-Link mesh system with T-mobile gateway

I can find no documentation about the gateway network capabilities, or compatibilities. Maybe it's for a future product introduction. My only solution has been to plug my current WiFi network into the TM gateway. I can't find a discernible difference between my network, and the TM gateway network speeds. They are both at 50-70 Mb/s during the most of the day (I had cable internet and was able to get over 120 Mb/s but it was $90.mo). The weird thin is that my 5G phone can get 147-190 Mb/s in the same house. On rare occasions I have been able to get >500Mb/s on my phone. TLDR: The gateway seems limited, and isn't nearly as fast as my phone.5Visto0likes0Comentarios
