Accessing admin on 5G gateway without the app

How do I access the admin / management features of the 5G gateway without the phone app?  I’m not installing any app on my phone (and whoever thought it was a good idea to keep your home admin features on a device that is exposed to the outside, physically and network-wise, should be fired).  I do not have a T-Mobile phone.

There are no menus that I can find.  I hoping someone can provide a straight link (192.168.12.1/foo).  SSH or another method also works.  I’d rather not have to go digging through the javascript if I don’t have to.

I did search the forum--I was surprised this was not in there...

Thanks

    @xuare basically, the TM gateways have minimum functionality. The web interface (as you have learned) only gives you basic connectivity data. The TM Internet app provides some data regarding connectivity under the MORE menu (bottom of screen). I suspect TM locked it down to keep prying eyes and fingers from messing it up?

    Having the physical devices means the data is still there.  Since T-Mobile used a COTS or semi-COTS product means it should be available, just like the old Roadrunner modems that had the little mini board that adapted the MAC per modem.

     

    If you’re going to hide data meaningfully from an end user, it typically takes more effort (i.e. funding and development) than can be put into a $400 device.

    Can you post where you found the answer? I need to get wifi and routing disabled.

    From view-source:http://192.168.12.1/static/js/main.[8 hex chars].chunk.js:

     

    Looks like there are some login controls under:

    http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/auth/login

    That is not an HTML page, however--JS needs to be invoked

     

    Configuration can be found under

    http//192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/network/configuration?get=ap and

    http//192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/network/configurationv2?get=ap

    but both require the auth tokens before accessing

     

    Version information:

    http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/version

     

    Some additional HW info:

    I will keep digging, but that should help anyone who wants to get started
