add external drive to T-Mobile 5G Gateway (G4AR & G4SE) via USB-C LAN port

I have the white T-mobile gateway T-Mobile 5G Gateway (G4AR & G4SE) and want to add a SanDisk 1TB drive via the USB-C LAN port. I plugged it in, but I cannot see it. What’s the next step?

You also need to call in to tech-support. I just got off the phone with May and Jake from tech-support. They are going to the higher-ups to see what can be done the more people that call in the better. Writing about it on a website does nothing.

    having a working usb c port would make it nice and easy ( and cheaper) to create a NAS with a usb drive.  A fixed ip address or routing would be essential to making one that is actually useful though.

    I imagine tmobile keeps an eye on this place.  so pile on.
