Re: T-Mobile Home Internet + Google Nest WiFi

Log into Orbi router and change to Access Point mode. That's it. Leaving bothWi-Fi networks active does not seem to be a problem. The Gateway and Orbi Router auto-selected channels for5G and 2.4G that did not overlap. I don't think the T-Mobile Gateway supports Bridge mode. It doesn't support bridge mode, per se, but you can disable the SSID(s) through the web interface at 192.168.12.1. The username and password can be found on the bottom of the device, unless you changed it when you first set it up. Once logged on: Navigate to Network>Wi-Fi Networks>2.4GHz Scroll down to Enable SSID, and click the slider to disable Click "Save" Give it a second to save, then click "Ok" Go back to the SSID selection, and do the above for each SSID Make sure you click "Save" before moving on to the next SSID, otherwise the previous changes won't save. You should only have to change (under 2.4GHz) SSID1, and (under 5 GHZ) SSID5 and SSID9. Once you've gone through and confirmed each SSID has been disabled, click on Statistics>WLAN to confirm you're all good and disabled. You may be tempted to also disable Enable Broadcast; however, I prefer leaving this enabled so you have a another way of verifying all the SSIDs are disabled. If you disable broadcast and the SSID itself hasn't been disabled, the SSID won't show up in the typical connection dialog on your devices, but it can still be found by savvy users. On the other hand, if the SSID is disabled, broadcasting is going to be automatically disabled behind the scenes by default. This should effectively disable Wi-Fi on your T-Mobile gateway, so now you can then just use the software for your mesh system to manage your network. NOTE: changing these settings will still allow web access to the admin menu at the address above.
