I wish the T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway was JUST a modem!!!
I just left Breezeline due to horrible service for over a month, and when it went out from home, my T-Mobile iPhone became my hotspot. After realizing it was more reliable than my landline Internet, ...
@Cyberfunkjy you would want to turn off the gateway SSIDs if you have an additional wifi router. For example, my setup looks like this:
T-Mobile Gateway (provides internet access) > Netgear MR60 mesh wifi router (connected via ethernet cable to the gateway) > Devices point to the MR60 SSID for internet access.
If the t-Mobile gateway SSId was still on along with the MR60, then the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz signals would be stepping on each other - inefficient.
I hope this helps.
Does turning off the SSIDs merely just make the signals hidden from devices, still broadcasting active, or does it actually disable both the 2,4 and 5ghz signals? There seems to be confusion about this in other message boards, etc.
