how do I turn off my gateway?
I just got my gateway and was wondering how to turn it off so it doesn’t use data when I am not at home. I held down the middle button and nothing happened.. thanks for your help.
Obviously you could unplug it.
Are you sure you want to do this? Your plan should have unlimited data. Home security cameras and automated routines won’t work. When you restart the gateway, it takes a few minutes for everything to reconnect.
Ah, too bad the regular plan is not available. You’re going to have to be careful with streaming; that’s what can really eat up the GB. (Don’t use HDR/4K/Dolby Vision)
As I recall, I can see the daily usage online (logged into T-Mobile account.) I suggest leaving the gateway On for several days to see how much your household needs normally. If you’re worried, try turning it off (uplugging it) when you leave for the day and see if that makes much of a difference.
Good luck!
