    @jin735 you will need to use a router like a Netgear MR60 that you can use for Wi-Fi and Ethernet and have the ability to configure port forwarding and alike. the T-Mobile gateway is just a gateway/access to their cellular network for internet access.

@copz1998 is correct. You cannot create a NAT, or modify DHCP on T-Mobile gateways. I, for one, would be curious about how your Netgear MR60 reacts if you hook it to the T-Mobile gateway in any other mode than Access Point Mode, where I don't believe you can do port forwarding.
