Used to work, but amp is broken

The app worked fine for the last nine months, but now throws an error that says “enable JavaScript to run this app”. I can only assume that that means an app was pushed out that broke the app. Don’t know when it’s going to be fixed.

Just what I needed

Allowed me to simply shutdown the WiFi of my G4AR router. Other settings become available as well.

Works great, until it doesn’t.

I use this to turn off the Wi-Fi on my Tmobile gateway in order to use my home router. It still works great on my iPad, but it no longer works on my iPhone. App has been removed. Re-downloaded. Phone has been turned on and off, but still it no longer is able to find the gateway. Not a dealbreaker, but certainly is annoying.

Thank you

Use this to setup the TMO G5AR. The TMO app is very difficult to use. App may have to updated for the G5AR.

Love this app!

Not sure why T-Mobile (and Mint Mobile) don’t provide direct control of the unit, but this app fills the gap nicely!

In my case I used it to disable the wifi radios since I have my own wifi mesh setup connected. Disabling the radios is the closest I can get to bridge mode that most modems support.

I also ran into an issue this morning where the modem showed no 5G connection. Was great that I could just open this up and hit “reboot” rather than have to physically power cycle the unit. A big thank you to the creator of this app!
