Great for turning off WIFI radios

10 / 10 would recommend. Probably can do a lot more but it’s all I needed. T mobile you should just have had this on your life app …

Very Useful and Informative

Very useful app to use alongside the T-Mobile G4AR! Very happy with the “Reboot” shortcut action! I have this scheduled with an automation to trigger at a certain time once a month and it works great!

Great utility for T-mobile gateways

Really useful app. Great for setting up and checking T-mobile gateway connection. It needs one additional feature however, the ability to set an automatic reboot on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. The ability to trigger a reboot on a connection loss would be a nice feature also.

Please add Beacon Interval and more Transmit Power control

Please add Beacon Interval control and more Transmit Power control, in order to reduce the amount of EMF to lowest possible.

For example, I want on 5GHz
Beacon Interval = 3000ms
Transmission Power: 8mW
(This is plenty for an apartment or small home)

And on 2.4 GHz
Beacon Interval: 2000ms
Transmit Power: 21mW

The 50% Transmit Power reduction is better than nothing, but more control is needed, preferably Advanced Control with a number input. I saw you had a slider. Why did you get rid of that? And there is nothing to control the constant pinging of the beacon interval. There needs to be a way to make that longer so that it's not constantly blipping.
