Re: Router suggestions for adding to the 5G gateway
Sorry, your response is short. Stops at just google. What specifically am I googling and does it cover Apple as well? I stopped using Windows based systems years ago. Also, are you using one of the older systems with allows access to the GUI of the router? The GUI on this one does NOT allow any access. Just presents you with a pretty picture telling you about the wonderful functionality of their app. Thanks! Ralphfur8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Router suggestions for adding to the 5G gateway
For what it is worth, I have not found a way to disable the router from T-mobile or to put it into bridge mode. Connecting a router to a router is fine as far as it goes, but it can cause NAT issues and it can cause IPV6 issues. Also, the radios are not turned off, so you do have interference from the frequencies they are running on. Luckily, the radios on the T-mobile unit are not very powerful and have a very limited range. There are no options that I have found to actually control the radios to be able to turn them off. You can the SSID, but that does NOT turn the radios off, it only hides them.

In the land of for what it is worth, disabling SSID does NOT disable the wireless. It only hides it. So, you still can have conflict issues. When you plug a router into another router, in this case the one from T-Mobile, most sane routers will switch to a different IP range, generally the 10.x one. This is ok, but can cause double NAT issues and can also provide problems with IPV6. As long as that is not an issue for you, connecting your existing router into a hardwire port on the T-mobile router is the best way to maintain your existing network without making changes and to also maintain any limit controls you have on users.

Ok, this is not a sane business model. How do you disable the router or put it into bridge mode so that you can use a real router? That should NOT break any system or cause any issues. Without being able to do that, you lose all IPV6 functionality on an attached router. You also have to deal with double NAT issues. The poor quality wireless is underpowered and not capable of dealing with multiple devices. Small numbers, yes, large no. The app, as has been mentioned, is like many other apps, a waste of time and energy. So, we can all agree it is a problem, how do we get it fixed? How do we put this thing at least into bridge more? Better would be, how to disable the router completely and just have an interface to the modem??????? Thoughts or suggestions??????? Later, ralphfur Winchester, OR9Visto1like0Comentarios
