Re: How do I get T-mobile home internet into bridge mode

The app is the only way to manage the T-Mobike Gateway. it's not as feature packed as a good router interface but it is enough for most users. Right. You just can't "get T-mobile home internet into bridge mode" using that app. That was the original question.Re: Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway wifi extensiion

My setup is as follows: 1xSRR60 (NetGear Router in AP mode) 2xSRS60 (Satellites) p.s. Any good mesh wifi system should (theoretically work, so long as they can run in AP mode). I am just using and familiar with NetGear mesh boxes. This configuration works perfectly when coupled withSagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway To be able to turn off the wifi signal on T-Mobile Gateway you'll need to download the following file (for Windows boxes) and look for HintControl in the binary folder. https://github.com/zacharee/ArcadyanKVD21Control/releases/download/1.9.2/dev-zwander-arcadyankvd21control-25-windows-amd64.zip(same file works for Sagemcom Fast 5688W) For other operating systems (IOS, Android, etc) you'll find information on the following link: https://github.com/zacharee/ArcadyanKVD21Control Same exact gear here. Smooth transition and works great with all the bells and whistle of netgear mesh.Re: Tmobile-->Google Nest
From what I've read on Google, NEST will not be a helpful MESH solution. You'll need a MESH system that could toggle between Router and AP mode. My current Mesh System is Netgear ORBI Pro with the router set to AP mode, connected to T-Mobile Gateway via the WAN port. In addition to the router(now in AP mode), I have two more satellites to extend the WiFi coverage. (WIfi backhaul). Here's, in summary, what my setup looks like: Wireless 3 is my IOT segment where no device on that SSID can access the rest of the networkRe: QoS and VLAN settings on High-Speed Internet Gateway
Unfortunately, the short answer is no. Only possible solution is complex, cumbersome, and not without network degradation/problems. The ultimate solution will be that T-Mobile coming up with a new hardware configuration (on the gateway side) and proper software to allow user management.
