Re: Turn off WiFi on T-Mobile Home Gateway
I figured out what was going on. By default, the gateway will broadcast on SSID1, SSID5, and SSID9, populating those with the SSID and password you specified during setup. I had just disabled SSID1 and SSID5, didn't notice I had to go into the pull-down menu to also turn off SSID9. So this makes turning off the gateway WiFi is a little unintuitive, but it's possible, my bad.78Visto6likes0ComentariosRe: Turn off WiFi on T-Mobile Home Gateway
I’m curious whether other people can replicate this, but it’s true that if you disable the “Enable SSID” setting, the SSID will not be visible on the list of available WiFi networks, but at least on my unit the WiFi signal and the ability to connect to the gateway by WiFi isstill there, even after rebooting the gateway with the new settings.I was able to login by manually adding the gateway SSID and password when connecting a device to WiFi. I’d be curious to know if others see the same thing, and if so, whether anyone knows if there’s a way to truly shut off the gateway’s WiFi.8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Turn off WiFi on T-Mobile Home Gateway
Logging into the gateway and disabling "Enable SSID" and "Enable Broadcast" does not turn off the WiFi radios on the gateway, it simply hides the SSID. If you key in the SSID and password on a device, it can still connect to the T-Mobile gateway's WiFi. If it's not possible to turn off the WiFi radios on the gateway, that's a bit of an oversight on T-Mobile's part, I hope that's fixed in future firmware. On the plus side, the gateway has a pretty good WiFi system, if you want to use it.80Visto6likes0Comentarios
